I posted something similar last month, but as an unapologetic nerdfan of author Steve Almond, I’ll take a moment to recommend highly his essay breaking down the listening experience of Toto’s Africa in his book “Rock and Roll Will Save your Life.” Not easy to find online, but you can hear him read it here:

N.B. Unrelated, his non-fiction book “Candyfreak” is also a good read.
