The Mighty Flames were a crack bunch of Cameroonian musicians, drawn to Nigeria by the heavy funk sounds booming across the border like musical moths. For a short time in the late sentries they �owned� Port Harcourt, destroying dancefloors with an incendiary sound that burned so heavily that it was phosphorescent. Metalik Funk Band is the band at their most deadly. Willy �Pazz� Nfor is on bass, Nfrackie �Jazz� Song on synth, Didi Lead on lead guitar, Emma �Wah Wah� Baloka on rhythm and Stormy �Booga� Jimmy on percussion. There is not a single dud track. �Music Is The Answer� is a psychedelic head spin. �Funky Child� is an irresistible call to the dancefloor. And I guarantee you�ll need a good lie down after listening to �Search Out! Watch Out!�. Sadly, things did not end well for the Mighty Flames. Their manager was a tyrant and when they tried to escape to Lagos with all the band�s gear he promptly had then arrested. Metallik Funk Band was their last album, but what a way to go out: with an incendiary batch of Afro Funk monsters that need to be in every funk lover�s collection. - Peter Moore
