    In 1979, long-time Highlife veteran Aigbe Lebarty decided to try his hand at high-energy disco funk. Unity is  a sure-fire dance floor stomper that channels ‘Ring My Bell’ and  is the undisputed highlight of the album. It rattles along in a wonky, skittish fashion, with the high-pitched toms dueling with the Sex Bombers in a musical game of Space Invaders.‘His Highness Erediauwa 1 Oba Of Benin (Part 1 &2)’, sees Aigbe slips back into Highlife like a comfortable pair of slippers. The tracks were a gift to Erediauwa, who had just been crowned the 38th ruler of the Edo people in Benin City.
