24. Rhythm and Sound. 07:02

When it started getting light around six, I turned off the lights, put on a pair of headphones, and listened as the sun started coming up. The subtle differences between the tracks are certainly best heard through headphones, and I easily became lost in the riddim. It felt as fresh as it did when I started listening to this yesterday. And I discovered, to no great shock, that my headphones don't reproduce the sounds on this album very well at high volume (much like my speakers, which were submitted to a similar volume test about ten hours ago).

The problem is that I can't imagine anything topping that sunrise experience in the next couple of hours. I started too late! I should have begun at 7AM.
