Moments Worth Listening For

The aggressive, siren-like synth lead in 'Drone Warfare' that mimics the mechanical dread of modern surveillance.

The transition from the frantic energy of the first disc into the more contemplative, instrumental textures of the second.

The way 'Rocket Fuel' uses a classic breakbeat and De La Soul's energy to provide a brief, joyful respite from the album's tension.
