You thought I'd disappeared right? Well not quite, and I've just been given a load of new old music fresh from Lagos - on more of a JuJu, Highlife tip. First up is this, the ominously named Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey, who, in fact, sounds rather gentle. It's tough getting any background information on this. The photocopied cover says that this is track, number 5, is called Eye To Ma Ba Kowe Ke, and the album in "Eversongsgreen...20". However a bit of Internet searching lists the album as the more obvious "Evergreen Songs 20" with slightly different track listings.
For those of you who listen to this and think it's all a bit 'world', a bit sandals, please persevere. It gets particularly good after about 11 minutes, when a riff starts circling and the atmosphere starts to feel like something you could find on Lovefingers. One for fans of With Comb & Razor and Benn Loxo Du Taccu.
