Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the Pierre J remix of the title track where the bassline adopts a more aggressive, club-ready snap.
The sudden, bright choral explosion during the chorus of Hallelujah Day that feels like a sunrise.
Todd Terry's unmistakable house shuffle transforming This Time I'm Free into a New York garage anthem.
