Moments Worth Listening For
The way Lee Scratch Perry's gravelly stream-of-consciousness narration floats over the deep, pulsating bass of Golden Clouds.
The unexpected electronic reimagining of the Junior Murvin classic Police and Thieves with a heavy, skeletal rhythm.
The dense, swirling layers of echo that swallow the percussion during the final minutes of Congo.
