Moments Worth Listening For
The way the brass section enters on the title track with a regal, mourning authority that feels like a call to prayer.
The hypnotic seven-minute stretch of 'O’ Rastaman' where the groove settles into a deep, meditative trance.
The vulnerable vocal delivery on 'My Duty' as Spear lists historical figures like a roll call of ancestors.
