This is the third world distribution album released in 1984 by King Sunny Ade and His African Beats, the mainstay of Nigerian juju music. The album was produced by Martin Meissonnier, who also produced Manu Dibango's work and Yasuaki Shimizu's 1987 classic Subliminal, and features Stevie Wonder, Tony Allen and Phil Ramocon. This is a very danceable electronic juggernaut, with groove-driven electro beats, talking drums and Sunny Ade's signature floating electric guitar on A1/B1, and crazy synthesizer topped B2. electronic juju in all its glory.
