from the LP …Is Back, Afrodisia Records, 1979Rejoice all yee who have ears, and worry not about who exactly ‘BLO’ is, just trust in your humble narrator here that their return (from where you ask: perhaps the planet of Bootyism) is indeed a homecoming worthy of celebration! This slice of Lagos funk practically screams roller skates & hot pants, all synthesizers and snappy breaks while they implore all the ladies with a bumpin’ ass to, “…push it up, and roll it, slap it, one and two; I said push it up ya’ll, and rub it together…bulky side, bulky side, bulky backside…” Just when you think things can’t get better, their guitarist peels off some acid-drenched riffs when the bridge rolls around, a trippy antidote for all of the big bouncing booty in our faces; honestly, this track is funktastic perfection, ‘nuff said.
