Comp album of gloriously groovy psychedelic synth funk from Nigerian artist William Onyeabor. Who is William Onyeabor? Many ask the same question. He self released seven albums then disappeared from the public eye.
Sonically diverse psych from heavily fuzzed-out to Deadhead-friendly mellow, a disco-ish tunes and a strong Afrobeat backbone. The Nigerian sound is fascinatingly tangled.
Jazz is Dead accounces another offering top-shelf recordings taking listeners on a journey through the funky sounds of Ghana all the way down to the psychedelic soul and samba of Brazil.
This compilation is really something special, and every long track has its own sort of magnetic attraction for the listener! Includes "Beautiful Baby", "Atomic Bomb", "Shame", "I Need You All Life" and "Batter Change Your Mind".
A landmark recording from one of Ghana's great musical architects, Ebo Taylor's 1977 self-title release marked the first solo LP by the legendary guitarist, arranger, and composer after years behind the scenes shaping the sound of modern highlife.
