Reissue of this pretty obscure Nigerian album from 1988, full with quirky synths and groovy drumprogramming. The track 'Enotiomwan' is the highlight on this LP with its catchy horns, funky synth hits, slapbass and crazily deep vocals. After weeks and weeks of deep research in Nigeria during summer 2018 Dig This Way Records finally found and met, in Benin City, Mr. Odomore, who introduced them to all the members of the band and to the producer of the LP. The audio was taken from 2 copies of the LP and was restored by Colin Young in the UK. Limited to 500 copies, pressed by Optimal in Germany.
