Moments Worth Listening For
The triumphant brass fanfare that opens the title track, signaling a call to action.
The heavy, stripped-back dub version of the lead track that closes the album with deep space and echo.
The somber, empathetic vocal delivery on African Woman where the horns mimic a mournful sigh.
