Riding to Work in the Year 2025 (Your Invisible Now)
Zaireeka
Notes: As far as I can tell, there is no bass in the verse or chorus ("you're
invisible now"). There are only three parts in the song where the bass is
clearly audible.
First section (1:12-1:36)
-Listen to disc 3 for the bass in this part
