Possibly his best work........2002-08-01

You can tell that Baba 70 put a lot of work into this album. From the lyrics and wordplay, to the tight instrumental arrangement. It has been and still remains my favorite Fela composition.

I never heard this one performed live at The Shrine, so it is not one of those that bring back the memories of late nights - sometimes wet, loud speakers thumping into your gut while you yell out the lyrics of the song along with "Abami Eda" - one of Fela's many nicknames.

It is, on the other hand, one of those albums that I listen to late at night, when it is really quiet and you are able to hear each instrument more clearly. Time and time again you discern a different pattern in the intricate tapestry woven by the many instruments that make up "Egypt 80". It is also one of those in which you listen to the instrumental solos and decide that nothing more could have been added or taken away.

Released on CD in 1986 (I'm assuming the LP was released at this time as well), this album is made up of 2 tracks - the title track and "Look And Laugh"; and was produced by Wally Badarou. I recommend it highly, if you are able to find it.

"Everybody say Yeah Yeah!!"

The GREATEST of all times.......1999-11-18

GREATEST hit of all times. Non has come close so far. If you like this track, you will also like BREAST OF NO NATIONS.

One of his best works ..........1999-08-22

... the instrumental on T.D.T.M.N. will blow you away and is probably the best on any of his releases. The album was produced by Wally Badarou. If you intend to have any of "Baba 70's" albums, this one is a must have!!

real poet.......1999-07-22

Refined, Clear, Quite Nice.......2005-08-04

Fela's music here sounds clean and clear, with just the amount of echo that the masses want to hear, and the horns and vocals are just elaborate and complex enough to tickle the ear. Everything is in a commercially acceptable place, it sounds like one of those records that win Grammies ...

Musically, everything is in the right place. The band is able to maintain long grooves smoothly and effortlessly, and call little attention to themselves while providing smooth/"quiet storm" vibe. Fela uses the vocals and especially the backing vocals, on tracks 1 & 3, to provide complicated patterns that add to the music. The music resembles Fela's earlier music, but more relaxed

His aim here seemed to be to incorporate more African elements into the record (make it just a bit more Nigerian and less Western), and to provide a very well-engineered recording. He succeeded in these aims and produced what is a very fine and satisfying record; all 3 tracks are more or less masterpieces.

One of the best.......2004-04-20

Everyone's got their favorite Fela record... For me, there is something amazing about the music he made towards the end of his career, and TDTMN is one of the best. The horn lines got more complex, the band sounds HUGE, the guitars even more intricate, and the beats sometimes slower than earlier (better to feel with your whole body). The production is so clear on this album. A beautiful recording

As with all legends this is a masterpiece amongst all masterpieces. Each time you listen to this it will take you back to the days of pepple street Akara, Dun dun and palm oil. those who appreciate rich jazz will be enveloped instantaneously and I hope they would not be overwhelmed with the passion they are sure to feel.
