Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic repetition of the money-themed hook in Wari where the groove becomes a trance
The sudden shift into a Zouk-influenced rhythm on track 6 that breaks the traditional reggae mold
The somber, warning tone of the final track Le Feu as the brass section swells with urgency
