William Onyeabor – Atomic Bomb

Self-recorded and pressed at his private Wilfilms facility in Enugu, Nigeria, Atomic Bomb presents a revolutionary synth-funk vision. Onyeabor fused analogue synthesiser ostinatos, bubbling electronic organs, and repetitive feminist and anti-war mantras into hypnotic dance grooves. The arrangements are sparse, modern, and utterly unlike anything else recorded in late-1970s West Africa, showcasing an uncompromising auteur at work.
