RELEASE DATE

PMG present a reissue of
Burnis
's
Light My Fire
, originally released in 1983. "Search the name '
Burnis Moleme
' and the returns are sparse. You'll discover that his track 'Where Is The Answer' appeared on Soundway's excellent Nigerian disco compilation,
Doin' It In Lagos
. And there are a few entries about this PMG reissue of
Light My Fire
. But other than that, he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. He's not even a minister of religion, the career path most Nigerian stars from the '80s chose to follow. Thankfully, we still have
Light My Fire
. Produced by former
Funkee
Jake Sollo
and backed by a hot team of session musos including
Friday Pozo
,
Nkono Teles
and
Joseph 'Jojo' Kuo
, Burnis delivered a slab of slick Afro disco boogie for the ages. 'Boju Boju' and 'Where Is The Answer' would start a party on any dance floor, while the title track would keep you on it until dawn. Burnis had a sensitive side too, showcased on tracks like 'Scott Angel' and 'No Place To Hide'. I suspect Burnis Moleme was simply a casualty of the Nigerian label wars between EMI, Phondisk and Tabansi in the early '80s. Tabansi hoped that Burnis might be the next
Kris Okotie
, but
Felix Liberty
took that mantle instead. But that does take away from what
Light My Fire
is -- a beautifully produced slice of Nigerian disco boogie by a guy who could write catchy songs, sing like a sex god and look good in a shiny purple suit." --
