  Afro-space-disco contagion - shuffling and wiggling, synthy and bubbling - from this re-incarnation of Willy Nfor's Mighty Flames, recruited mostly from the wave of Cameroonian musicians drawn to Nigeria in the late-1970s by its heavy new funk sound.

After a stint at the Right Time studio in Onitsha, the FP cadets ended up at Phonodisk in Lagos, quickly in high demand as session-players, running First Planet on the side with other Nigerian session players from the Onitsha/Awka axis. Its name was intended to evoke the cool obliqueness of US handles like Brass Construction and Lakeside, and the mothership connection of chocolate-city P-Funk. The Troutmans are in the mix, too.

Soon Vincent Omoko and the other Planeteers would travel to Port Harcourt, working in Geraldo Pino's band for several years. They also ran a side-project called The Extended Family, fronted by Cameroonian keyboardist Etienne T-Boy.

Excellent sound by way of Abbey Road and D&M, first pressing includes 24" by 12" poster.
