    Mind-blowingly brilliant idiosyncratic synthesizer-led, African disco-funk!

    This the first compilation dedicated to the totally unique works of Nigerian musician William Onyeabor — all recorded between '77 and '85. Religious and politically-charged lyrics, stripped down percussion, spacey synthesised grtooves, and bone-tingling deep funk. A must!
