![]() “Pot Sharing Tots” combines reggae and jazzy electric piano for a very insinuating type of melody. Than it goes directly into this stripped down,early hip-hop type pulse that lyrically references classic Motown to Sir Nose himself. It begins with an electronic extension of “(Not Just) Knee Deep” basically. “Man’s Best Friend/Loopzilla” is a 12+ minute groove that…well as I told my friend Henrique? Could easily write an entire book chapter on this one song. “Get Dressed” is something of a “star is born” type setup to begin the album with it’s thick,bass heavy stomp with the Horny Horns really getting going with Junie’s funky stride piano for a classic call and response P-Funk jam. And as always? He had a lot to say,in his own kind of way. Yet Bootsy,Junie,Gary Shider,Fred Wesley are all still here on this 1982 debut of the man now recording under his own name. So this is not Parliament,Funkadelic or even P-Funk All Stars we’re talking about here. That describes P-Funk extremely well to me: the forces of it are many,and ALWAYS behind it’s musical might. Originally from one source but,when unleashed,create a powerful burst of energy. An atomic detonation comes from a chain reaction of split atoms. Somehow the term I associate with him is atomic. When most people think of George Clinton? Motherships and clones might come to mind. Here are two reviews of his first and second solo albums-from 19.ĭuring the first five years of me getting into P-Funk? Part of my ever continuing education on the subject was the understanding of internal connectivity. After a decade of leading the mammoth P-Funk ensemble,George Clinton introduced his music in a solo context in 1982. Clinton was the major funk innovator for the baby boomer up through the millennial generation. And that’s probably true for many people within a decade or so of my age. It was through his music,among others,that inaugurated me into the wondrous world of musical funkiness when I was a teenager. George Clinton,at age 74 is among the final two principle architects of funk left alive. ![]()
