Review

Down Beat (p.69) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his was a period where older highlife styles co-existed with newly emerging Afro-rock sounds....The tendency of the musicians to mix and match styles and approaches here seems like a defining characteristic."
Global Rhythm (Publication) (p.42) - "NIGERIA SPECIAL is, quite simply, the most unusual and consistently jaw-dropping collection of lost diamonds you'll probably ever encounter, this year or any year."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.121) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Of particular note are a number of elegiac, bluesy beauties that slow the pace to a languid crawl....NIGERIA SPECIAL is an aural and design classic."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Taken as a whole, the comp itself is as revelatory as it is incessantly enjoyable. Pop history has rarely gone down so painlessly."
