Fela and Afrika 70 fill each side with one long piece: interlocking guitars, horns and Tony Allen's drumming building slowly toward Fela's call-and-response vocals in pidgin English. The title track mocks soldiers who obey without thinking, and it became one of the most famous songs of Afrobeat across West Africa. It shows the style at full strength, with groove and argument moving as one.
