Moments Worth Listening For
The infectious, driving bassline that anchors the opening of Is It Love You're After, instantly setting a high-energy disco tone.
The expansive, nearly nine-minute groove of What You Waitin' For, which allows the band to stretch into a deep, hypnotic funk pocket.
The sudden, sharp brass interjections in Bad Mother Funker that cut through the thick analog synth textures.
