Funkadelic
Funkadelic, ‘Funkadelic’, 1970. Debut album from George Clinton’s psychedelic funk band. Clinton had mainstream hits in the Seventies with the same players under the name Parliament. This was the out-there, acid-rock version, achieving total heaviosity, man. Seven extended jams drenched in echo with fuzzed guitar, wah-wah, wailing keyboards, deep bass, sloppy drums and Superfly lyrics; ‘nothing is good unless you play with it’ and ‘Soul is a ham hock in your cornflakes’. Tight but loose, up for the down stroke, on The One but acid-fried and dark. Sure ain’t The Jackson Five…
