1970 Funkadelic

probably the best funk band of america...

funk / 46:51 / mp3@320 cbr / 107mb

"A very rough album with many sparks of genius. Brilliant, screeching guitar by Eddie throughout. "What Is Soul" is hilarious and acid-drenched, "Mommy..." kicks off the Funkadelic Era in grand style..."If you will suck my soul, I will lick your funky emotions." The polish on later albums makes them more listenable than the feedback-fest here, but there's a great feeling of unity and a solid backbeat. Much of the album was recorded with the aid of assorted Motown session men. Features two blues tunes in "Qualify & Satisfy" and "Music For My Mother". The other interesting thing about this album is the large number of different lead vocalists used. Clinton comes up with a large number of his raps that would be repeated on future albums and tours here, like 'Ain't nothin' good unless you play with it, and all that is good is nasty.' "What Is Soul" also contains the sounds of bong hits being taken, with that tell-tale cough afterwards." Discogs

1974 Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On

probably the best funk band...

funk / 37:54 / mp3@320 cbr / 86,7mb

"To be blunt, this album kicks ass from the get-go. The album forgets about meaningful lyrics (til the end) and concentrates on shakin' it. Perhaps the most consistent Funkadelic album, from beginning to end. The stylistic jumps that Funkadelic likes to make are less jarring on this album, with a much smoother flow from song to song.
It starts with a classic hard-rocker in "Red Hot Mama", yet another redone Parliament song. Superb guitar interplay and evocative lyrics make this one of their best songs. A slight shift over to a metal sound (in an MC5 sort of way, of course) is made with "Alice In My Fantasies", an Eddie workout where he plays these excellent swooping guitar licks.
After beating you senseless with the first two songs, it slows down with a remake of the Parliaments' "I'll Wait" called "I'll Stay." Sexy, sleazy, smooth and irresistable, with some great singing. A slight shift is made to the funky soul of "Sexy Ways", with a JB's-style guitar lick propelling the whole thing.
Then comes what I think is the ultimate Funkadelic song, "Standing On The Verge...", which combines hard rock with JB's funk, producing a stew that commands you to dance. Inspired by audience chants, it has a live feel to it but with a great deal of precision at the same time. It also features a number of different singers.
After that peak, the album explores some interesting areas. "Jimmy's Got A Little..." is a bizarre, almost Zappa-esque song about Jimmy and his sexual preferences. It concludes with a long Eddie instrumental and a 'sermon' in "Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts." 'Good thoughts bring forth good fruit/Bullshit thoughts rot your meat.' Grace Cook, the cowriter on most cuts, is Eddie Hazel's mother. He credited her either to ensure that she would get some record royalties, or to avoid his creditors. I've heard both. " Discogs

1975 Let's Take It To The Stage

best funk band ever

funk / 37:10 / mp3@320 cbr / 86mb

"Funkadelic takes yet another different turn, this time coming out with shorter, punchier songs and relying less on long jams. The percussion on this album is excellent throughout. Garry Shider becomes a big force as he sings a number of the songs on the record. The guitars are slightly less dominant here, stepping aside somewhat for the vocals, percussion and keyboards. Still, the solos taken at the end of "Better By The Pound" & "Good To Your Earhole", along with the songs "No Head No Backstage Pass" & "Get Off Your Ass And Jam" show that Funkadelic is still primarily a guitar band.

1976 Hardcore Jollies

best funk band ever

funk / 40:03 / mp3@320 cbr / 92,5mb

'A consistently interesting, if unremarkable Funkadelic creation. Notable for being the last album to feature the original Parliament singing lineup, as Fuzzy Haskins bolted to notch out a couple of solo albums, and Grady & Calvin didn't stick around either. Like Tales of Kidd Funkadelic, recorded at roughly the same time, the album lacks a consistent & coherent theme, and also suffers from the absence of Eddie Hazel. But new Kidd Michael Hampton carves out some excellent slices of funk here, showing off his chops more than on the Kidd Funkadelic album. "Hardcore Jollies" is the best examples of Michael going off, and he's well matched by Jerome Brailey thumping the skins. The riff to this song was first heard in Parliament's "Livin' The Life", and is still used in concert today, often at the end of "Hit It & Quit It." The singing on the album is one of its stronger points, with the sleaze-funk of "Smokey" and "You Scared The Lovin' Outta Me." Clinton's vocals are featured on two percussion-oriented tracks, "If You Got Funk..." and "Soul Mate." 'I just want to kiss you on your...desire', delivered in the sleazy manner that only Clinton can. The live version of "Cosmic Slop" is sort of out of place, and not particularly well-mixed, but it's nice to hear the 'Space People' intro and some good guitar work. The capper, "Adolescent Funk", is the Bernie workout for the album, and it's a good one, almost in the style of Parliament's "Night Of The Thumpasorous Peoples".' Discogs

1976 Tales Of Kidd Funkadelic

best funk band ever

funk / 39:56 / mp3@192 cbr / 55mb

"The last Funkadelic Westbound album benefits from the singing of Glen Goins, but greatly misses the guitar genius of Eddie Hazel. The 'big 2' of this album, "Undisco Kidd" and "Take Your Dead Ass Home" are more commercial than other Funkadelic songs, but that's balanced by Bernie's keyboard/synth weirdness and Boogie & Bootsy's rock-solid, meaty bass-playing. "Take Your Dead..." follows the same idea started from the other dirty nursery rhymes in Funkadelic's bag, "Loose Booty" and "Let's Take It To The Stage." "Undisco Kidd" mocks the emergent disco scene while at the same time sounding danceable, in a sleazy, seductive sort of way. Michael Hampton steps up on this album, most notably on "Butt-To-Butt Resuscition." Glen Goins shines on "I'm Never Gonna Tell It" later redone for Phillipe Wynne's solo album on Uncle Jam Records. Lyrically, the most interesting song is "How Do Yeaw View You?", a clever examination of narcissism. To me, the album falls apart a little on the title track, one of the few Funkadelic long-form jams that I don't like. I think that can be attributed to Eddie Hazel's absence more than anything else. In general, the album's songs are interesting but certainly not classics. It was recorded at around the same time as Hardcore Jollies, and there was general confusion about which songs would end up on which record. This album ended up with the two most famous songs, but overall is more diffuse than Hardcore Jollies." Discogs

1977 Eddie Hazel - Dames, Games and Guitar Thangs

former guitar player of the best funk band ever

funk / 67:04 / mp3@160 cbr / 78mb

Eddie Hazel Story Part 1:
"Somewhat of a mythical figure, original Funkadelic guitarist Eddie Hazel pioneered an innovative funk-metal sound in the early '70s, best exemplified on his mammoth classic instrumental jam "Maggot Brain." This mythological status arises from his brief, mysterious era of productivity, a shadowy three-album cycle capped by Maggot Brain.At the time, Hazel seemed a clear successor to the deceased Jimi Hendrix, one of the few black guitar players merging an acid rock approach with an R&B aesthetic. Furthermore, Hazel took things a step further, integrating a heavy dose of funk into his fiery guitar work as well, setting the precedent for successive Parliament/Funkadelic guitarists, as well as later generations of funk-metal guitarists.
Though born in Brooklyn on April 10, 1950, Eddie Hazel grew up outside the city in Plainfield, NJ, since his mother, Grace Cook, didn't want her son growing up in a negative, drug-littered environment (though, ironically, Plainfield wasn't much better in regard to drugs). While his mother commuted back and forth to Brooklyn to work as a silk presser, the young Eddie spent most of his time playing the guitar his brother had bought for him as a Christmas gift. In addition to his self-trained guitar playing, Eddie also sang in church and eventually met Billy "Bass" Nelson when he was only 12 -- the two instantly began playing together, teaching each other to sing and play guitar. Once they met up with yet another local youth, drummer Harvey McGee, they began jamming together as a trio, trying to learn all the early-'60s Motown hits. In 1967, another much more established Plainfield group, the Parliaments, had suddenly found themselves experiencing a considerable level of success and wanted to mount a tour. They needed a backing band, though, and looked to Nelson for help. Unfortunately, Hazel was nowhere to be found, supposedly in Newark, NJ, working with producer George Blackwell. When Nelson returned from a short summer tour in August, the first thing he did was hunt down Hazel in hopes of beefing up the Parliaments' rhythm section. There was one problem, though -- Eddie's mother. She wasn't crazy about the idea of letting her 17-year-old son head out on a tour with George Clinton's ensemble of wild musicians. Yet after a little begging and some convincing on both Clinton's and Nelson's part, Ms. Cook agreed to let her son follow his ambitions." for Part 2 see '1994 Eddie Hazel - Rest in P'

Eddie Hazel Story Part 2:
"The Parliaments went back on tour in September 1967, with Nelson and Hazel anchoring the rhythm section. In Philadelphia during a show at the Uptown Theater, Hazel met Tiki Fulwood, who was the Uptown's house drummer. The two instantly became close friends, going out partying after the show together. Furthermore, since both Nelson and Hazel were unhappy with their drummer at the time, they argued with Clinton about replacing the Parliaments' inadequate drummer with Fulwood. By the time they left Philadelphia, the Nelson/Hazel/Fulwood rhythm section was finally in place, a tight squad that spawned Funkadelic.
In essence, Funkadelic was just a continuation of the Parliaments. With group member Calvin Simon gone off to the war, and with Hazel and Fulwood now in the group, the Parliaments abandoned their uniforms, donned extravagant costumes or street clothes, and began playing increasingly rock-influenced music driven by Hazel's dirty fuzz tone and Hendrix-influenced acid rock approach. The change to Funkadelic then became official with the introduction of Tawl Ross on rhythm guitar and Bernie Worrell on keyboards, resulting in a series of three landmark albums: the group's self-titled debut (1970), Free Your Mind...and Your Ass Will Follow (1970), and Maggot Brain (1971).
Maggot Brain ended up being one of the group's more essential albums, thanks primarily to Hazel's guitar playing. In particular, the title track has become his legacy, an epic instrumental piece fashioned as an emotive eulogy that has become a perennial staple of the group's live shows over the decades. The song's origins are supposedly rooted in a recording session where Clinton told Hazel to envision the saddest thought possible, his mother's death, and use that vision as inspiration. Other myths involve Hazel's voracious drug intake, a characteristic that led to the nickname "Maggot Brain." Either way, the song made Hazel famous and secured his legacy for successive decades.
While Hazel's role in Parliament/Funkadelic had diminished by the late '70s, Clinton did grant him the opportunity to record a solo album for Warner Brothers, 1977's Games, Dames and Guitar Things. The album featured covers of "California Dreamin'" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," along with a few songs written by Clinton and Bootsy Collins. The nine songs all prominently feature Hazel's lead guitar work, along with a considerable amount of backing vocals courtesy of the Brides of Funkenstein. Incredibly rare and highly collectable for years, the album remains one of the better P-Funk albums of the late '70s, highlighted by its guitar-heavy sound." for part1 see '1977 Eddie Hazel - Dames, Games and Guitar Thangs"

"Parliament/Funkadelic keyboardist Bernie Worrell’s first LP is more Funkadelic than Parliament, and with the exception of one tune, less exciting than either. The keeper is “Insurance Man for the Funk,” 12 minutes and 39 seconds of pure P-Funk; it has everything: layered sounds, a toe-tapping midtempo beat, and some incredible horns. The chorus has a great hook — “Insurance Man for the funk/Take some insurance out on your romp/You are the beneficiaryyyy”; it also has some side cracking lines like “Leroy’s (Lloyd’s) of London,” and a great synthesizer solo by Bernie. Not to knock Bernie’s rendition, which is great, but if George had cut this with Parliament or Bootsy’s Rubber Band, it would have blown up. Unfortunately, nothing else here measures up to “Insurance Man”; the other selections have a weird feel to them. Bernie does most of the lead vocals, and Junie Morrison plays a significant role. You get the feeling that most of these tracks were first slotted for other artists under George Clinton’s umbrella of stars. “Woo Together” features Bernie and Junie on a funk number; Morrison leads the rather dull “I’ll Be Here.” The concept is supposed to be something called Woo, which is not adequately explained." allmusic.com

1978 The Brides of Funkenstein - Funk Or Walk

hard funkin' women

P.Funk / 39:59 / mp3@192 cbr / 55mb

Profile: The original Brides of Funkenstein were Lynn Mabry and Dawn Silva, two vocalists who were background singers for Sly and the Family Stone in the mid-70s. George Clinton first met them while Sly was opening for Parliament / Funkadelic and offered them to join the P.Funk camp in 1977.
The year later, the Brides debut album "Funk or Walk" was released. With the help of their hit single "Disco to Go", the album went gold. They began touring with P-Funk for the "One Nation Under a Groove" tour, but Lynn left the group in 1979, due to financial disputes and her becoming pregnant.
The second version of the Brides included Dawn Silva, Sheila Horne, and Jeanette 'Mackie' McGruder (an Atlantic records session vocalist). They release "Never Buy Texas From a Cowboy" (1979) to great critical acclaim, but only modest commercial success. The group began recording a never-released third album, but financial and creative disputes broke the group up. Discogs.com

1978 One Nation Under A Groove

best funk band ever

P.Funk / 58:48 / mp3@320cbr / 138mb

This was Funkadelic's most commercially successful album, and one of its most critically lauded.
It is also regarded by many as the greatest funk album of all time
and ranks at or near the top of many "best album" lists in disparate genres.

"It's an unusual brand of theme album, in that the theme is fairly loose, yet helps all of the songs mesh into a coherent whole. Essentially, it's a declaration of Funk interdependence. The call is out to be freed from old notions, old stereotypes, and the decay of society. Funk is declaring its own power and seceding from the rest of society, forming One Nation Under A Groove, where everyone can do their own thang. Only by keeping an open mind can this be accomplished. The concept, to one degree or another, is present on all of the tracks, but you're not beat over the head with it the way many "concept" albums might. Instead, each song can be appreciated just as much by itself than with the rest of the album.
One Nation was P.Funk at the height of its empire. Most of the side- groups had released material, and the musicians in question were pumping out hours and hours of music in the studio. This would eventually water down the music, but not here. The clarity and coherence of the album's vision owes a lot to Junie Morrison, ex-member of the Ohio Players, whose eclectically bizarre yet funky solo albums showed that he was a perfect fit for P.Funk. Michael Hampton's talent also brought the album to a new level, with a number of clever pieces that were well-placed in the guitar tradition of Funkadelic." Discogs.com

1979 Uncle Jam Wants You

best funk band ever

P.Funk / 41:42 / mp3@320cbr / 96mb

'Uncle Jam is a solid continuation with the title track and "Field Manoevres". Side One is a killer with "Not Just Knee Deep" and "Freak of the Week", I take off half a star, 'cos I can't stand "Holly Wants To Go To California". Ballads were never a P-Funk's strong suit.
"(Not Just) Knee Deep" is probably my favorite Funkadelic track clocking in at over 15 minutes. "Freak Of The Week" is a grand groove also. "Uncle Jam" and "Field Manoevres" are decent too.
The real problem with this album are the lyrics, which are disappointing when compared to One Nation. The nature of Funkadelic's talent is that they could come up with an album that's so entertaining (with more than a few classic moments) in such a rush. But I think the concept could have been better served with a bit more attention to singing and lyrics. Still and all, this is an important album, and it should be recognized as a big piece in the funk puzzle.' Discogs.com
