Following the planetary success of our \"\u003cem\u003eEdo Funk Explosion Vol.1\u003c\/em\u003e\" project we have now unearthed \u003cem\u003eNo Food Without Taste If By Hunger\u003c\/em\u003e by \"\u003cstrong\u003eThe Good Samaritans\u003c\/strong\u003e\", 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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"The Good Samaritans\" is \u003cstrong\u003ePhilosopher Okundaye\u003c\/strong\u003e's own Edo-Funk project, under which name he produced four albums, all recorded at \u003cstrong\u003ePhonodisk Studio\u003c\/strong\u003e in Ijebu-Igbo east of \u003cstrong\u003eLagos\u003c\/strong\u003e 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's 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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDue to its private pressing in a probably very small edition, \u003cem\u003eNo Food Without Taste\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eIf By Hunger\u003c\/em\u003e is very difficult to find.
