5.0 out of 5 stars
Possibly his best work., July 31, 2002
This review is from: Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense (Audio CD)
You can tell that Baba 70 put a lot of work into this album. From the lyrics and wordplay, to the tight instrumental arrangement. It has been and still remains my favorite Fela composition.
I never heard this one performed live at The Shrine, so it is not one of those that bring back the memories of late nights - sometimes wet, loud speakers thumping into your gut while you yell out the lyrics of the song along with "Abami Eda" - one of Fela's many nicknames.
It is, on the other hand, one of those albums that I listen to late at night, when it is really quiet and you are able to hear each instrument more clearly. Time and time again you discern a different pattern in the intricate tapestry woven by the many instruments that make up "Egypt 80". It is also one of those in which you listen to the instrumental solos and decide that nothing more could have been added or taken away.
Released on CD in 1986 (I'm assuming the LP was released at this time as well), this album is made up of 2 tracks - the title track and "Look And Laugh"; and was produced by Wally Badarou. I recommend it highly, if you are able to find it.
"Everybody say Yeah Yeah!!"

GREATEST hit of all times. Non has come close so far. If you like this track, you will also like BREAST OF NO NATIONS.

One of his best works ..., August 21, 1999

... the instrumental on T.D.T.M.N. will blow you away and is probably the best on any of his releases. The album was produced by Wally Badarou. If you intend to have any of "Baba 70's" albums, this one is a must have!!
