Funkadelic - Free Your Mind…And Your Ass Will Follow

Funkadelic was, traditionally, part of a larger creative whole, a sort of musical commune which also included Parliament. Combining funk, blues and soul vibes, Funkadelic had a definite political edge. As for the final sound mix? Well, you’ve heard of space rock which takes a traditional genre and injects other-worldly noises and creative influences – Funkadelic worked upon a ‘space funk’ (some would say acid funk with the emphasis on ‘acid’) which flows all over this album and follows a similar path. Mixing a dirty groove with wacked-out sound effects and razor-sharp lyrics, this is a superb first release featuring class artists such as George Clinton, Eddie Hazel and Bernie Worrell.
