First Planet - Top Of The World
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. Soon Vincent Omoko and the other Planeteers would
travel to Port Harcourt, working in Geraldo Pino’s band for several
years.
