T.R.O.Y.
Moments Worth Listening For
The iconic horn loop on T.R.O.Y. hitting with that specific 12-bit crunch that defines the SP-1200 sound.
The way the filtered bassline on The World Is Yours instrumental creates a thick, immersive low-end pocket.
The sudden, sharp jazz trumpet stabs that punctuate the rhythmic swing of Mecca and the Soul Brother.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
