Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the deep reggae pocket on West Indian Revelation where the bassline takes full command.
The gentle, lapping acoustic guitar figures on When I Feel the Sea Beneath My Soul that mimic actual tide movements.
The communal, celebratory vocal harmonies that close out the title track with a sense of genuine relief.
