Reviews"Force 7 for one on 'Asiko Mi Ni' stake their claim to international music justice....With clave and congas, heavy bottom traps, and a military snare roll...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "This was a period where older highlife styles co-existed with newly emerging Afro-rock sounds....The tendency of the musicians to mix and match styles and approaches here seems like a defining characteristic.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "Of particular note are a number of elegiac, bluesy beauties that slow the pace to a languid crawl....NIGERIA SPECIAL is an aural and design classic.", "Taken as a whole, the comp itself is as revelatory as it is incessantly enjoyable. Pop history has rarely gone down so painlessly.", "NIGERIA SPECIAL is, quite simply, the most unusual and consistently jaw-dropping collection of lost diamonds you'll probably ever encounter, this year or any year.", "You can hear psychedelic organ on the Nigerian Police Force Band's 'Asiko Ni Ni' and early Soweto influences drifting into the vibrant guitar of Easy Kabaka Brown..."

  • Carefully curated sampler

    Selected African tracks with metal guitars fused with blues and jazz. Distinctive vibe but also contemporary. A good introduction with a double CD of various tracks. Recommended by a North African jazz musician and DJ Bought used and CDs are unmarked and play fine
