The least known name - but arguably one of the best bands - on
Ben Ononkwo's Clover Sound label was The Visitors. For a short,
sweet time between 1975 and 1978, The Visitors created the most
righteous sounds in the east of Nigeria. We're talking deep
Afro-funk with generous dollops of rock psych fuzz synth
madness. 'My Good Friends', the second album, finds the group
at the height of its powers. The musicianship throughout the
album is extraordinary.
Also available: MY GOOD FRIENDS (CD).
