And of course some people just want the original albums or want to give someone a box set. Onyeabor released 8 albums with one of them, Crashes in Love, in two different forms, so that makes 9. The sets come with lots of really nice little booklets and each has a 45 with a really great remix on one side, by Man Tear in Box 1 and Peaking Lights in Box 2. We worked pretty hard on them and hope you oooo and ahhh when one of these lands in your clutchs.
The Lp boxes are limited to copies. Box 1 has 5 lps and Box 2 has 4 lps. But at almost every turn, he evaded specifics. And when he returned to his native Nigeria, he had both filmmaking equipment as well as a trove of prohibitively expensive early synthesizers. On Crashes in Love , Onyeabor is of a piece with his Nigerian contemporaries—the album bears similarity to the likes of other mids bands like BLO, the Funkees, and Ofege. Tomorrow , his third album in as many years, now featuring Onyeabor in a velvety double-breasted suit, begins to move away from the solid groove of Afrobeat towards something more diaphanous.
The drums and bass loosely twine about Onyeabor and his female backup singers, their vocals unhurried, the organ squirreling in, out, above and around the rhythm. It scans as Afrobeat while maintaining a slack beat, suggesting downtempo, reggae, funk and disco, with modular synth bleeps without ever being beholden to any one of them.
