This was the second last Funkadelic album, which was originally released back in 1979. By the looks of things, Mr Clinton and his gang of funky misfits consciously set out to take the piss out of the “Uncle Sam Wants You For US Army” campagin. The main “concept” of this album was “to rescue dance [...]

Play With Bootsy – Bootsy Collins
Posted in P-Funk, Reviews on May 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This album first came to my attention some time in 2002 while I was using the internet. I stumbled upon an audio interview with Bootsy Collins, who was discussing the release of this particular disc with the German media. “Play With Booty” was in fact the follow-up to his 1997 release “Fresh Outta P University,” [...]

It’s been pretty well documented that George Clinton was an artist who, like Prince several years after him, had many different aliases throughout his career. In fact he even released a lot of different projects under those names over the years. “Urban Dance Floor Gurillas” is just another one of those albums, which was released [...]
Mothership Connection – Parliament

This album was originally released back in 1975 on Casablanca Records just after George Clinton had legally regained ownership of the name “Parliament.” The band were christened after their favourite brand of Nicotine. Up until the “Mothership Connection” album was released, Clinton was in charge of another group called Funkadelic, who were releasing [...]

Christmas Is 4 Ever – Bootsy Collins

Who would’ve thought that Bootsy Collins would be doing a Christmas album one day? Certainly not this here amateur album reviewer sitting at his iMac G4 typing away so furiously! Originally, the album was released around this time last year (that’s late 2006 in case you’re wondering) but for some strange reason, I didn’t really [...]
Waltz Of A Ghetto Fly – Amp Fiddler

When this album was first released back in 2004, I didn’t know anything at all about Amp Fiddler. However, I heard the disc being labelled as “Neo Soul” while searching for information about it online, which is why I decided to go ahead & check it out. I later went on to discover many other [...]
The Clones Of Dr Funkenstein – Parliament

I got into Parliament at the tender age of 15, back in 1997 after I purchased the 2 CD set, “Tear The Roof Off (1974/1980).” It was this great anthology that caught my attention and after many listens, had me hooked like a fish. However, I realised after about five years that I had missed [...]
