Moments Worth Listening For
The crisp, punchy horn lines that punctuate the rocksteady rhythm of 007 (Shanty Town).
The deep, melodic bass groove on Yard Stylee that feels twice as heavy as the youthful vocals.
The sudden, bright synthesizer stabs in Air Taxi that signal the band's shift toward 80s pop-reggae.
