• — The album includes moments of tempo variation, with tracks like 'Alertez Managua' introducing a faster pace before returning to more reflective pieces.

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
