Stuart revisits the king of afrobeat's joyous and influential album from 1973, Afrodisiac. The Nigerian composer, bandleader, and multi-instrumentalist's four track album is a groovy mix of jazz, funk, rock and traditional African music. The record would later go on to heavily influence David Byrne of Talking Heads as well as Brian Eno.

More out-there music from Throbbing Gristle, Still House Plants and µþÂáö°ù°ì to name a few.
