Christagau's review informs us.......2003-09-10

This duplicates four tracks on Rough Guide's highlife comp. Pluses: brighter mastering, original version of Osita Osadebe's "Osondi Owendi." Minuses: multiple titles by Osadebe, Celestine Ukwu (including one repeat), Cardinal Rex Jim Lawson (ditto), Dr. Victor Olaiya (ditto), and Sir Victor Awaifo (ditto; also, me and the annotator thought it was Uwaifo.) Clearly, all of them deserve dedicated comps.

Superlative Highlife.......2003-06-04

This is an infectious mix of catchy, melodic guitars, muted trumpets and drunken harmonies. Most of the songs sound like they were recorded on mono in a backstreet studio. Compilations can get boring after a while, but not this one. It's beautiful, I love it. Buy it.
