'The most important musician of the last fifty years', according to Brian Eno - and this is Tony Allen's best album. An Afro-funk masterclass, stone classic dance music in six-minute chunks: strictly no neo-dub or lounge-house fakery. Recorded in Lagos last year under the auspices of Honest Jons by a nineteen-piece including local newcomers alongside Fela veterans and fifties legend Rolling Dollar - and brilliantly mixed in Berlin by Moritz von Oswald (Rhythm & Sound / Dubplates)
Artwork as with Lagos Chop Up / All Routes by Lagos street artist Demola Ogunajo. The vinyl comes with an extra track and sounds even more stunning than the disc.
