Moments Worth Listening For

The relentless seven-minute groove of Demo Crazy where the brass section achieves a state of rhythmic hypnosis.

The explosive entry of the female chorus on Eh Oh, cutting through the dense percussion like a bright light.

Femi's sustained, circular-breathing saxophone solo on Tension Grip Africa that feels like it might never end.
