| Ayoob with a Malfoof over. We've done this rhythm a number of times but not quite like this. Something special happened here. Roy and Mark carry the solos and create variety and interest. Might as well dance it cause it's hard not to move to this beat! |

| This is a surprising and entertaining piece of work by Mark Rook completely improvised on the spot using a talking drum.

So click it already! |
