Recorded in his private Wilfilms studio complex in Enugu, Nigeria, 'Atomic Bomb' highlights Onyeabor's pioneering use of analog synthesizers and drum machines within African popular music. The repetitive, hypnotic grooves carry heavily conscious, occasionally political lyrics reflecting the post-civil war era.
