    I'm Nigerian, and I must say I grew up listening to William Onyeabor's music in the '70s. My aunt was a teacher east of Kaduna town toward Jos city, capital of Plateau State. She used to have a large collection of LPs from all over the world.
    This track was the one she used to serenade herself to sleep, not because it was not good, but because it was excellently done to send you to Cloud 7. To think that this was the '70s makes me really appreciate Onyeabor's musical effort.
    There was none like him at that time. He was well ahead of the musical game. Unfortunately, he went off the radar but my aunts LPs are stored in my village store. This track "ATOMIC BOMB" reminds me of many things.
    Thanks for bringing him back to light, I mean lamplight. I must say, thanks.
