RELEASE DATE

PMG present a reissue of
Friimen Muzik Company
's
We Can Get It On
, originally released in 1978. "By the mid 1970's in Nigeria, the Biafran War was a distant memory and the music scene in the eastern city of Aba was booming again. Bands like
The Funkees
,
The Wings
and
The Apostles
grabbed the headlines, but the more interesting stuff was coming from smaller groups like
The Friimen
. The Friimen, or the Friimen Muzik Company to use their official name, were influenced as much by pre-
Saturday Night Fever
Bee Gees
as
Jimi Hendrix
and
James Brown
. In
Beni Tudumey
they had the best keyboardist in the city, and in
Dan Igbaji
,
Charlie Eze
and
Ken Okogbue
its tightest rhythm section. Throw in
Gbemi Saka Toju
channeling his inner
Barry Gibb
and you had a band quite unlike any other in the country. The result is
We Can Get It On
, a hybrid of west coast ballads and dancefloor chuggers. One moment they are thanking God for making the mountains ('The Creator'), the next salaciously suggesting it's time to make the mountains move ('We Can Get It On'). Some of the songs simply state the obvious ('Music Makes You Move'.) However, it's the track 'Salt Sweet Style' that sums up the Friimen best: 'We have the salt. We have the sweet. We have the style.' It's all present and accounted for on
We Can Get It On
." --
Peter Moore
