A lot of reviewers have compared this to the similarly timed Nigeria Special: Modern Highlife, Afro-Sounds and Nigerian Blues. I like them both, but I give this one the edge - it feels less fluffy, more experimental, better sequenced, and a bit more funky. Bola Johnson's Ezuku Buzu feels every bit the little atomic weapon that James Brown's Sex Machine is. Peacock's Guitar Band is mesmerizing. There are really no boring songs.
Really, the recent Nigerian 70's releases bring back THE HOOK. Find that groove and do it to death! Get this album and you'll wake up in the morning humming these hooks to yourself ... or else I feel really sorry for you.
