Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

WEEKEND BUY-A-LOOP OFFER — “The new band was younger than Parliament and liked to play funky and wild,” wrote Dean Rudland in 2005 when the album was reissued. Funkadelic is the epitome of fusion; from Eddie Hazel ’s impressive Hendrixian guitar solo on Maggot Brain to the apocalyptic bongos of Wars of Armageddon to the space soul of Can You Get to That and the wild hard rock of Super Stupid, the band transports the listener to the edge of a psycho-funk that only they know how to do. Take a dozen great musicians, add a healthy dose of Parliament, sprinkle it all with Yellow Sunshine Acid (a powerful LSD that was popular at the time) and you have one of the best P-funk albums of all time! Maggot Brain is a gigantic album, less experimental and more controlled, the first true masterpiece of a group that never really takes itself seriously. Indispensable.
