Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the rhythmic nyabinghi drumming into a heavy modern bassline on the opening track
The sudden vocal intensity during the bridge of Zimbabwe where the message turns sharply political
The way the backing harmonies swell to a choral peak during the final minute of the title track
