Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic repetition of the title phrase on track 1 building into a trance-like state of consciousness.
The brass section's sudden, triumphant entry on 'I Stand Strong' that elevates the track's defiant message.
The playful, ornamental percussion breaks in 'It's Not a Crime' that bridge the gap between traditional and modern reggae.
