Funkadelic (Remastered Edition, Incl. 7 Bonus Tracks) (1970)

Op 14-11-2009 komt George Clinton & Parliament / Funkadelic naar Metropool Hengelo. "Funkadelic's 1970 debut is one of the group's best early- to mid-'70s albums. No group had managed to effectively balance big, gnarly rock guitars with crooning, heartfelt soul at this point in time quite like Funkadelic. Clinton's songs are essentially conventional soul songs in the spirit of Motown or Stax -- steady rhythms, dense arrangements, choruses of vocals -- but with a loud, overdriven, fuzzy guitar lurking high in the mix. And when Clinton's songs went into their chaotic moments of jamming, there was no mistaking the Hendrix influence. Furthermore, Clinton's half-quirky, half-trippy ad libs can be mistaken for no one else -- they're pure-cut P-Funk. Never again would the band be this attuned to its '60s roots -- it clearly marks the crossroads between '60s soul and '70s funk. This 2005 reissue features excellent remastered sound, a thick booklet, and bonus tracks pulled from singles." (Jason Birchmeier, Allmusic)
