Reissue of Udu's sole LP 'Sound Of The People', originally released on Love Records (Nigeria) in 1976. It would be easy to say the record is psychedelic, but at times that's an overused term for a broad spectrum of music which suggests something, but doesn't define anything in detail. It might be better in this instance to suggest the record has an otherworldly ambience, folk in essence and potentially devotional from a regional perspective, something possibly alluded to in the both the band's name and the title of the record. Whatever musical genres the record crosses it's a genuine shame that it's taken just over 40 years to reach the ears of a wider audience outside of the few people who would have heard the record at the time.
