13:41 How I Found This Record
When we got into the Berlin Record Store, this was literally what they were playing! I've always loved this piece and in many ways, this was the first vinyl I was sure about getting (and what I would consider as my first vinyl).
Everyone needs to listen to this, the message in this music hits really deep especially with him addressing State Violence and Colonialism. In many ways, the injustices he speaks of have not really changed, or stopped (The perpetrators may be different but the suffering stays the same).
Also music addressing all this trauma and injustice has no business sounding this good!
