Advantages: Really cool funkay music Disadvantages: Only 9 tracks
of feeling so casual and laid back, and I think it's very easy to spot in this track.
A contrast can be observed in track 7, 'Turn It Out'. The track starts off similar to the rest of the pieces- laid back, yet funky with an intense rhythm courtesy of the drums. All the instruments take turns at taking a solo, and the clavinet especially features here, with some damn cool sounds!

Even the urban backdrops are ...
