Moments Worth Listening For
The relentless, circular saxophone solo on One Man Show that seems to defy the human need for breath.
The sudden, sharp entrance of the brass section on Action Time that acts like a physical jolt.
The way the female backing vocals lock into a hypnotic, percussive chant during the title track.
