Ah, I had FlashBlock enabled, hence the lack of music.
I never thought to use the back button, because I didn't realize the page had actually refreshed. Usually the URL in the URL bar changes, which indicates a page refresh. Are you using HTML 5's ability to inject pages into the browser history for use with back/forward, or are you just POSTing to the same page over and over?
I don't know if a back button is necessary, but being able to click on the section logos makes a lot of sense. It feels natural to click those buttons to go back to a previous section.
Right now all the sections are dimmed except for the active one. I would suggest that as the user progresses leave the sections active (not-dimmed and white text), this UI will indicate to the user they can click on it. It also provides a nice way of viewing their progress. By the time they get to the end the entire thing will be highlighted/active. This also doubles to enforce the fact you can only go back to sections you have completed and aren't able to skip ahead.
