Following the planetary success of our \u201eEdo Funk Explosion Vol.1\u201c project we have now unearthed \u201eNo Food Without Taste If By Hunger\u201c by \u201eThe Good Samaritans\u201c, one of the most obscure Nigerian album ever recorded. Originally released in 1982, the bands first album is full of bouncy basslines, raw trance-like grooves and tripped-out psychedelic guitars, a funk experience unlike any other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201eThe Good Samaritans\u201c is Philosopher Okundaye\u2019s own Edo-Funk project, under which name he produced four albums, all recorded at Phonodisk Studio in Ijebu-Igbo east of Lagos with a 24 track. Okundaye who played many instruments, engaged the right musicians for each project and mixed the whole thing himself, is known as the composer of a large part of Benin City\u2019s celebrated hits in the 80s. His name keeps popping up but somehow his role in the scene remains a bit hazy, giving the character an image of something like the gray eminence of Edo funk.<\/p>\n<p>Due to its private pressing in a probably very small edition, \u201eNo Food Without Taste If By Hunger\u201c is very difficult to find. With this reissue limited to 2000 copies &#8211; newly mastered by Nick Robbins and approved by Philosopher Okundaye himself &#8211; \u201eThe Good Samaritans\u201c make a welcome and long-overdue return to turntables around the world in a beautiful Silk-Screen printed cover and an orange colored vinyl pressed on 180g high quality vinyl. This is funk stripped down to its primal essence, driving rhythms mixed with highlife horns, sweet keyboards and psychedelic guitar riffs, pushing the limits of dance moves towards cosmic dancefloors.<\/p>\n<p>Tracklist:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ng-star-inserted\">\n<li class=\"ng-star-inserted\">A1 Onughara<\/li>\n<li class=\"ng-star-inserted\">A2 Ughamwen-Rhienenemwen<\/li>\n<li class=\"ng-star-inserted\">A3 Ekhueghamunu<\/li>\n<li class=\"ng-star-inserted\">B1 Gaskya-Kace<\/li>\n<li class=\"ng-star-inserted\">B2 Bi Enu Ba Sahun<\/li>\n<li class=\"ng-star-inserted\">B3 Aikemienaru-Nanorunomwan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No Food Without Taste If By Hunger<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":42893,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[717,726],"product_tag":[746],"class_list":{"0":"post-42892","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-funk-soul","7":"product_cat-world","8":"product_tag-analog-africa","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/42892","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42892"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=42892"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=42892"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vinylgrove.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=42892"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
