Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the vocal version of Cowboy Town into its skeletal, echo-drenched dub counterpart
The way the three-part harmonies on Positive float over a surprisingly aggressive, driving bassline
The sudden drop into silence followed by a massive snare reverb on Burning Dub
