Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the ethereal synth wash of Let There Be Light into the explosive guitar riff of the title track.
The aggressive, wah-drenched soloing that cuts through the dense percussion bed on Who's That Lady.
The hypnotic, circular percussion groove on Jin-go-lo-ba that recalls the band's 1969 debut energy.
