Mothership Connection

Holy funk

Five Star Funky

So corny but so fun and sounds great

Oh this gonna be a 5…. FUNK

have a funky friday

9/10 Favorite: Mothership Connection (Star Child)

Literalmente es el hermano groovy de Funkadelic, fue bien interesante escuchar ambos grupos de George Clinton para comprender los contrastes y honestamente si hay muchas diferencias en temas y mensajes en cada grupo, pero lo que es un hecho es que están hechos de Funk del más puro, eso es amor al Funk genuino, no habría muchas otras razones por las cuales tener 2 bandas y las dos así de potentes Este álbum tiene de temática visitantes de otro planeta, que vienen a salvar la tierra a punta de Funk, la verdad que si se rifaron en su esfuerzo, aunque sea hicieran este planeta un poco mejor No tengo una favorita personal, pero el primer sencillo te mete en la experiencia y de ahí sigue avanzando bastante bien y de manera consistente, no tiene ningún flop por ahí Me sigue pareciendo número 1, One Nation Under The Groove, pero este lo pondría poquito abajo de Maggot Brain Es un gran universo este de Funkadelic-Parliament

Probably more used to the funkadelic maggot brain sound. Decent listen but not my favorite. Probably not great for the gym

3 1/2

They named a song on this album 'Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication', that alone is enough to get it 5 stars on top of the entire list being bangers.

I used to listed to this one regularly. Thanks for reminding me that it had been a while. Great album, but I think everyone already knows that.

No está mal, buen ritmo, un par de temas mejores que los demás, pero algunos tienen sonidos que quedan muy raros.

Love it, funny

Space funk! What fun! The monologues did drag at times, but overall I had a great time. I appreciate the theatricality of it all and the vocal plus instrumental double-whammy really elevated it for me, so lively!

experimental pero un gran disco

Good album!

That was such a groovy and funky adventure/ride. I was in a chilly universe, having a Space Beer with my friends while I was piloting a spaceship. I enjoyed iiit !

Loved it, was strutting around the house

This is pretty damned excellent!

I've always loved a few of these tracks and it was a fun re-listen. What clicked this time through was that behind all the zany antics is a very diligently crafted album, i guess you could say the production. They created the vibe that you're walking into a raucous party and everyone has an instrument and it should sound like shit, but it works so well, no note out of place. On the negative side, not a lot of depth in the actual song writing, pretty repetitive.

More talking about funk than actually funking here. Feels like the album never really starts, they just keep telling us we're about to get funky. Well, I'm ready. I want to funk. Lets go. Yes, you play funk. I like funk. Let's do this. Should be a good match here, and yet... we don't seem to be funking? Was I not clear that I'm ready to funk? No more preparation needed.

The intergalactic funk idea is cool, but a little corny now? Even Give Up The Funk didnt hit for me. Overall, this was fine, but not even close to what we heard with funkadelic or sly and the family stone. 1.5 stars

Funky but never fully drew me in.

An American classic and a truly pivotal moment in my life when I discovered it

Pretty good. A little bit cheesy

Make my funk the P-Funk. I wants to get funk’d up!

Funky

Just some decent funky music, wasn’t blown away. Nothing to complain about tho

So goofy but so funky. Bootsy kills that shit on bass as always. Definitely on the funk my Rushmore next to James brown and Stevie wonder.

Very cool, different, but a bit repetitive

It was cool, pretty funky. But not my vibe.

Felt very similar to Tosh's Legalize It: A genre album, one I don't listen to much, which gives it novelty, but for me just doesn't have the je ne sais quoi.

>funky >not rly my genre >got to the end and was actually really enjoying it to my surprise

it's undeniably good funk but I just don't love funk as a genre, more as a complement to other styles

very funky and metallic? i enjoyed most of the songs.

I don't really like regular jazz music, but this funky version of jazz is pretty good. It's groovy and catchy and makes you want to dance. It was a musical journey through space.

the funkiest funk to ever funk. p

Bring the Fun in Funk.

Never heard of it. Wasn’t expecting a funk jazz disco type record but I enjoyed it. I rate it like 3.5/5 but I have to be somewhat harsh or I’ll end up with a million 4s. It’s a 7/10 but 3/5.

🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑, maybe less if not for the Unfunky UFO Feels crazy to rate this low after getting funked so funktastically in my earhole, but having loved "Unfunky UFO" and "Give Up The Funk" for my whole life, I'm almost a little disappointed by the inferior funkometer readings on most of the other tracks. Most of these grooves were sparser, slower, almost as if the tempo was about 10 bpm behind, and I wonder if it's the sort of thing that hits better when you're stoned? Sober, it's not nearly so hypnotic. But I cannot be clear enough that under no circumstances will I be giving up the funk. No three star rating could wash my goats Parliament 1: Bad | 2: Okay, No Desire to Revisit | 3: Good, Conditionally (OR Inconsistent Mix of Qualities | 4: Great (OR Technically amazing but missing the sauce emotionally) | 5: Amazing

Some good stuff here, but a little underwhelming. Still enjoyable!

immaculate vibes actually. This album laid the foundation for so much modern music and it still holds up really well. Sure, not everything here has aged perfectly, and there was a lot of weird, possible fart noises on the outro, but I still had a lot of fun with it

Je suis loin d'être fan de funk, mais la fin de l'album a réussi à m'attraper.

Idk i dont really have any strong feelings abt this one. 6.5/10

Something about this felt very disingenuous, like they just checked off all the basics of a funk album while constantly trying to tell you that they're so funky

Solid vocals, short & sweet album. Loved the concept. Dancing is mandatory! I will say, the first track (P-Funk) was the highlight for me, and unfortunately set the bar a bit too high for some of the following tracks. I also wasn't a fan of the "barefoot & pregnant" reference, but I guess it was just a popular phrase at the time. Nonetheless, the record was still really good as a whole. My highlights were: - P-Funk - Mothership Connection (Starchild) - Give Up the Funk This was my first (intentional) listen to funk music, and it was a great intro! Hopefully this album only grows on me!

FUNKy!

This was a really fun and funky album, I really enjoyed it and it was also nice to see where dr Dre sampled let me ride from the title track. Favourite - mothership connection (star child)

Soo good. Thats is all.

Funkalicious!

This album was a blast to listen to and a total vibe! This album had me hooked from start to finish. I’d only heard a few songs by Parliament before so I had a great time listening to a whole album by them. Overall, this was a great soulful and funky album that I would 100% jam to again in the future!

Yeah! Funk!

Really fun and enjoyable. Literally slaps funk in your face.

Yes!

Extraterrestrial funk, to get you out of a funk

a classic

No me van mucho el soul ni el funk, se me hacen repetitivos, pero la primera escuchada que le he dado a este álbum me ha sorprendido gratamente. La instrumentación me gusta, es variada y orgánica, con muchos teclados muy legendarios de los 70. Las voces le quitan un poco de puntos porque no me va mucho el coro así estilo soul, pero lo demás está muy bien. En cualquier caso, no es un disco que me pondría en mi casa cualquier día.

Getting Funky 🕺

best sci-fi style in my opinion

Give Up the Funk is an absolute classic and entirely makes this album worth it, but outside of that I wasn't feeling most of these. P-Funk, Mothership Connection, Unfunky UFO, and Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication all sound like the exact same song, so the fact that they're four in a row is insane. The album ends with Night of the Thumpasorus People, which consists of a group of dudes going "goo goo ga ga" for three minutes straight. Give Up the Funk feels like the whole reason this is here. Maybe I am just not a funk dude.

Absolutely loved this album. A lot of samples I knew from the Dr Dre - the chronic album. Pleasantly surprised. Every song has a charm to it.

Pretty fun, but I don't think I'd ever really come back to it 3.5

It’s a good time, groovy, spacey, this band has a deep reverence for life and they know how to have a good time. This album is a celebration of creativity, rhythm and all things funky baby… what is funk you may ask, it’s connecting to that dark, warm, earthy center deep down in the middle of your belly where poetry lives and dancing naturally springs into existence - flowing into your extremities and out through the crown chakra. Feeling rooted with this album, feeling funky.

Great

Great album for Old School Funk-fans. Extremely talented musicians and great arrangements, especially in the brass section.

Probably my favourite funk album! SO good. Never thought I'd enjoy the genre this much, particularly Unfunky UFO and Supergroova-etc.

it's funky. it's just weird enough. it doesn't overstay its welcome.

Never heard this album before and listened to it while on a spin bike and really enjoyed it. It was fun and weird sounded good in headphones

Now THAT's what a call a goddamn ALBUM!!! I would rather listen to solely concept albums for the rest of my life. I'm sick of this boring mixtape shit where songs sound either vaguely related or just like they were stapled together so they could sell a stupid little album. A want a goddamn THEME a STORY a VIBE!!!!!

j'avais déjà P-funk dans mes titres likés, jamais écouté l'album, c'est pas déplaisant mais c'est un peu trop pour moi

What the funk

guter Funk

the funk-o-meter hit its maximum by the first song. starting off this album a day strong with this one. this genre has the power to get you dancing no matter what mood you are in. mother funking great album! fav song: unfunky ufo

already listened to this before, very lit.

If you do a shot every time he says funk you will be legally blind/dead. Also, insanely farty song at the end.

So funky it makes me want to handcuff a woman lolol. What a fun album.

Probably one of the most influential funk albums that I know of. 80s and early 90s hip hop owes a lot to this album.

Not a huge funk fan generally but this album is pretty awesome. Fat and dirty.

A legendary band and album. Seventies funk at its absolute peak. A great listen that just keeps finding new ways to get you grooving.

Funky. No songs that stuck in my head but I enjoyed grooving to it

meget repetitivt. synes det larmer lidt for at have som baggrundsmusik og jeg ville ikke sætte dette album på eller lytte til nogle af sangene på albummet af mig selv. men det er ikke dårligt, bare ikke det jeg leder efter :-)

Funk is not my thing, but I have to say this was a quite nice album

Had never heard of it before, but nice funk sounds.

Yeah

Ммм фанк говна (мне норм)

Lidt for funky til mig. Sjov linje at solbriller skulle være lovkrav

5 out of 5. Listening to this one was a good way to spend a Saturday! Non-stop party from start to finish.

One of the absolute all time great funk albums. What an amazing band on the top of their game. Some stone cold kick ass bangers

🔥

Svängigt och helt ok att lyssna på. Man märker snabbt att detta album är en inspiration för andra artister; bland annat låten Unfunky UFO har jag hört samplas i flera andra låtar. Give Up The Funk (Tear the Roof off The Sucker) är bästa låten tycker jag

No problem getting the funk out on this one....that's for sure.

An iconic album for about a dozen reasons. George Clinton is an absolute legend and genius. He took the elements of like five different genres, blended them beautifully, and essentially created an entirely new one in the process. I know James Brown and Sly Stone were right there too, but something about George Clinton's vision of funk sounds cooler - like it literally came from outer space.

Objectively some of the coolest stuff ever recorded. George Clinton, the greatest Clinton.

I felt like every song was the same and didn't even realise i had gone through different songs

Intergalactic funk. Need I say more oh ya I should it’s the same band who made flash light so ya.

A whole star for We Want the Funk alone

muy buenos los temas y el ritmo, tiene mucha onda. no es un tipo de musica que escuche pero reconozco q esta muy bueno y original. my preferida es la de handcuffs creo.

Hot take: P-funk is not all that interesting

Fuck yeah. My albums to this point have been good but somewhat down the middle for "stuff music journalists like" This is one of the ultimate loose tight albums. The band is so tight they can just be loose and let it hang.

One of the most forward thinking albums ever. George, Bernie, Bootsy, Maceo = Geniuses Give up the funk is one of my favorite songs ever, flanked by an albums worth of exploration and curiosity in the soul and funk outer space. If the album was slightly longer with an additional banger it would be a perfect album, maybe the closer.

What the funk!?!

É um álbum divertido, bem divertido mesmo. Mas fora isso, não achei uma escuta tão sensacional. É funky, isso vai sem dizer. Muitas seções boas, mas os skits não me fizeram nada, e a última faixa possui uns sons repulsivos, o clássico peido sintetizado. Bem irritante esse finalzinho, cheguei a tirar o fone pra deixar mais tolerável. Poderia ser pior mas não me causou muito entusiasmo não. 3.5

Me gustó mucho el feeling del álbum, te hace sentir esa vibra de la época si ser empalagador. Solo creo que en ocasiones se siente un poco repetitivo pero volvería a escucharlo

It's a very energetic funk album; I liked most of the songs, but there were one or two where the vocals and the backing track didn't quite mesh. But it definitely transports you to a fun, nostalgic past.

está bastante bueno, al álbum le doy un 7/10. Me da la sensación que es muy sampleable, pero no algo para escuchar solo

Fun album. Listening to this made me think about other albums where singers have alter egos. On the same space vibe I thought about David Bowie and Janelle Monae. Favorite songs: P-Funk, Mothership Connection, Give Up The Funk

rock o blues?? muy bueno

instantly love this album, it's great

It’s pretty cool.

I liked but it was a bit too long for me. Fun stuff though, very groovy listen.

Fantastically funky, a pretty good funkin' album.

Amazing, really good a great way to get back into funk. The musicians are fantastic.

Мне вроде бы понравились 2-3 песни, остальные не зацепили, в основном из-за вокала, а первая песня слишком затянутая и слишком много болтовни. Но в целом мне нравится фанк, но наверное более современный.

FUNKY AS FUCK

This album was so fun and I was bopping along to every track. I feel like this would be more fun to hear live, and each song was a couple minutes longer than I wanted (which again, longer songs are more fun live)

Groove, such a vibe dream. A journey with a whole energetic and pleasant ride.

What I went in expecting, still thoroughly enjoyed it

P-Funk, baby!

We are all citizens of the universe and the party on the Mothership is for everyone.

Nothing to complain about here. Funky fun. Favorite Songs: Mothership Connection (Star Child)

Unique. Funky. Such a vibe

No me gusto

This was groovy and funky and all of that jazz funk 70s vibes. A really fun listen.

It's fun, it's funky, it's horns can really blow. But as groovy as this is it all seems a little shallow, no?

Parliament – Mothership Connection (1975) On Day 100, I reached a massive milestone with a true masterpiece. This album is all about good vibes, fun, and a groovy atmosphere that creates a great overall experience. The production is immaculate nd the musicianship is at a high level throughout the entire LP. I couldn't help but notice that the title track was sampled by Dr. Dre for "Let Me Ride," which is one of my favorite tracks from him. Hearing that connection really highlighted the masterclass influence this body of work has had on music history. Between the Great vocals of the choruses and the thick, soulful basslines, this was a perfect discovery. A definitive 5/5.

Funky! Very good album. Glad to have been introduced.

Very 70’s funk!

just the right amount of strange and funky for me. makes me wanna DANCE

Highlights: Handcuffs, Tear the Roof Off the Sucker (Give Up the Funk). In a nutshell: we want the funk, dig? Yeah, I can dig it. Overall: 5/10

Album 150. Mothership Connection (https://open.spotify.com/album/734MC4wQsfNWsg9HLTrUoN?si=PkcNObkuQCiU9_GlMjY_qQ) — Parliament (1975) I like this funk album and UFO theme. Maybe because I'm an alien. 4/5 Liked: — Mothership Connection (Star Child)

funny album but thats all it had

Give Up the Funk is one of the most recognizable songs of it's genre. George, Bootsy and all the PFunk all stars are hitting on all cylinders here.

Three five stars in a row! Keep it coming baby, funk me up.

Fun catchy vibes, although not music that I love.

Rollo duro, puro 70 sudoroso.

So delicious, so funky. I love trailblazing nerds 🔥

*1975. *38 mins. *This is just a fun time. RATING - 7.5/10

Oh yeah, buckle up.

Some of the best funk

Very good

buena reco

not my thing i fear

Wait so fun i really connected

Liked it, not a lot of major standouts but I would put it on for a fun funky vibe.

A little funk is just what I needed to pull myself out of one. I couldn’t help but feel the joy with some head bopping and a little smirk on my face even when it seems like the world around me is a complete mess.

3.0

That was an essential álbum to understand the funky feeling

Getting Mothership Connection as today's assignment was a bittersweet feeling. On one hand, I listened to One Nation Under a Groove just four days ago and really enjoyed that, so I was happy to get some more P-Funk! On the other hand, I didn't expect my 1001 Albums Generator journey with the collective to come to an end so soon. I suppose this was a good one to finish that journey on because I actually have a little bit of history with Mothership Connection! I had never heard a track from the album proper, but we used to play "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)" in pep band pretty frequently. I had a hard time hitting some of the high notes on trumpet, but it was still a fun one to play. That said, the memory of performing something is always going to overshadow listening to its studio recording, so I can't say I wasn't a little bit underwhelmed when I finally got to track six. It's still a great tune, but nothing is ever going to beat blasting it out of a horn at a football game alongside dozens of other nerdy high schoolers. Songs like "Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication," "Handcuffs" and the title track served as slightly stronger highlights for me, but Mothership Connection never quite reaches the heights of One Nation Under a Groove (in my opinion). The album is still a bit more my speed than Maggot Brain, but just doesn't match ONUAG's musicality, humor and overall memorability. While I enjoyed this album a little less than I hoped I would, I'm ultimately glad the shackles are off – there's a whole world of Parliament-Funkadelic music out there and I'm excited to dig deeper! Perhaps Standing on the Verge of Getting It On will be next on my non-Generator listening list? Highlights: Mothership Connection (Star Child), Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication (The Bumps Bump), Handcuffs, Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)

Surprised myself by liking this one. Had never heard of the artist and didn't do any research before playing, so didn't give myself the opportunity to decide I don't usually like funk. Listening to this feels like I'm mingling round a cocktail party in the 70s. Although I might not come back to it, it's cool. I particularly liked 'Handcuffs' for the vocal performance

Reminds me of that Funkadelic album from more than a week ago. I expected lots of synths and space-y vibes; would have loved more modern "funk" and "groove" into it like Got To Give It Up, but maybe that's just what happens when you listen to Espresso too many times to count (3.5).

Okay

No me encantó

Me gustó el ritmo musical ,pero siento que todas sus canciones son iguales

Started pretty nice, but got very repetitive VERY fast

This album holds up! I first heard it about 20 years ago and loved it then, and still love it now.

It’s okay but nothing I’ll be reaching for.

I wanted to give it more stars, because I loved the concept and the grooves, but ultimately the songs were too repetitive.

sonidos voces vibras 10/10 no puedo creer que tengo 50 años !!! muy buena banda no la conocia 🙏🏻

.cool. I thought the album got better as it went along. Fantastic Voyage was my favorite.

Funk funk y más funk. Se habrá inventado aquí? se escucha muy innovador pero me cansa un poco. Lo bueno es que dura poco. Los black crows se robaron la última canción del disco.

Dated.

Funky and fun, a great listen.

reminds me of my dad

When to listen: want to feel good and groovy. Honestly what a fun album.

Funky fresh

Holy funky, this got me feelin the funk in my junk. Absolutely loved the concept of this album, 1st track was a very obvious stand out to me, I'm not normally a funk fan or at least I don't listen to it often but hell I'd rate it higher than 5 if I could

107. not bad

Great band

lekker funky

Good interesting album. 5.7/10

y of theh greatest ever

Classic. Reminds me of my mom. Also just realized let me ride is a sample from this album which is awesome.

We like the funk, somewhat.

So groovy! The stank face was plastered on! This album will be played when I want to grooooove. Highlights: P-Funk (Wants To Get Funked Up) Unfunky UFO Handcuffs Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)

I am enfunked.

I thought this would be better. Mostly a bit bland I found.

Bootsy rules, but i prefer Bernard Edward's.

I think the album is pretty.....unique, maybe a taste I'm not too sure since I'm not quite used to it, since it's very talk-sing, but pretty good.

This was great. I really liked the vibes of this. Nice blend of jamming and good song writing.

Great music, great fun. This is so funky, so joyful. Wish I would have listened to this more in its day. But, I'm happy it popped up today. I've got to go back and explore their entire catalog. This is so much better than a lot of rock and roll I was listening to in 1975. But, I had my head stuck in jazz back in those days.

Funky music

4.5 - Essential funk listening, making that duck bass quack.

Stuff like this is the reason I started this. Its certainly not what I'd ever have picked out to listen to. Absolutely loved it.

Classic 70's funk. Give up the funk is definitive of the genre.

Listening to this again reminded just how bizarre George Clinton / Parliament / Funkadelic was. This is great though. I definitely have to be in the mood, but it’s still fucking great.

Quite enjoyed the funk aspects of this album. Not what I’d usually listen to and not something I necessarily thought I’d like but was quite a pleasant listen the whole way through. Not in a rush to go back to it but a solid album

I got so funked up 4/5

Unbelievably funky album. Can't believe how much I enjoyed this. Highlight: Give Up the Funk

424/1089 - I'm convinced I don't like "pure" funk at all. I find that it's a very monotonous and repetitive genre and best as an accent to other genres like "Fakin It" by Simon and Garfunkel being a mix of Funk and Polk or "Shining Star" by Earth Wind and Fire being a mix of Funk and Soul.

Quite the arse-shaker as far as musicality goes. The lyrics were a bit on the narcissistic side.

Not my favorite Parliament album, but definitely enjoyed the funk.

We want the funk!

funkiest thing i've ever heard

Funky! I appreciated a lot of it, and I felt a lot of it was a little drawn out. 6/10

as heavy metal goes, pretty good I suppose

I've had the second to last song in my head for weeks because some dumbshit advert is using it at the moment, and I think listening to the whole album has exorcised it from my mind - wonderful!

Fun, I'm really glad this one came along.

Fun and Funky

I’m always amused by how many funk songs are about being funky. It’s the Pokémon of music genres, just saying its name incessantly. These guys absolutely spanked me with this album. So fun, so groovy, so danceable. Bootsy Collins is a BAMF. Not to mention the incredible impact this record had on rock, hip hop, pop, and Afrofuturism. I listened twice, with glee.

A solid funk album. Some really good moments and catchy bits. Nothing that made my eyes roll too much, though the extraterrestrial characters are a little goofy. 3/5

Love love love this album! Love funk for its groove and joy.

цікавк звучання але шосб не таке прям шоб прям на 3.5

P funk in it's popular form

I have never heard of Parliament before this album. It’s nice groovy music!

I started with "it's not in my wheelhouse" - I could end there. I did enjoy listening to it and found myself bopping along more than a few times. It's fun to listen to and interesting. It is certainly a classic in its own right. The music on this record has inspired a lot of funk and hip hop, so it's relevant and worth a listen. I respect it, but I'm not in a hurry to listen to it again.

ehhhhh

Perfection

Groovy

We need the funk! Very groovy, but wouldn’t be able to listen to consistently.

Interesting funk album that I did not know much about. Prob not on my rotation listen. Famous ‘We got the funk’ line from track Give up the funk.

Mothership Connection Unfunky UFO Handcuffs Give Up the Funk

P-Funk Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication Handcuffs Give Up The Funk

I love funk

Absolutely awesome funk album. Great things happening here

i wants ta get funked up (already pre-listened i am the culture king i am capital one fm i am euphoric)

consider me funked

Enjoyed this album more than I thought I would. Also, lots of beats here ended up The Chronic by Dre.

Doesn't wow me as much as the Funkadelic records I've listened to (from what I understand this was meant to be George Clinton's more commercial/safer name to release under?), but that isn't to say it's a bad album: it still grooves and it still brings the funk. Always a treat hearing the bass guitar and keyboards that get featured on these P-Funk albums.

Sometimes you listen to an album and immediately clock you've been listening to references to it for years. Well-deserved too. Favourite track: Give Up The Funk

8/10 Really enjoyable but I kinda wish it went all the way with the funkiness.

Not bad. Pretty fun listen

I'm sure this was revolutionary at the time but it's not doing much for me today, it's funky no doubt

Love it.

Total fun. Contagious fun.

Very good

Slappin the bass, man!

Super funky and very interesting to hear a lot of sampled pieces on the album used in today’s songs.

I'm not used to listening to funk music and it was a fresh surprise. I like funk all right, this álbum was so is is to listen to.

decent.

Il funk non é il mio

Damn,this is the good stuff. Parliament had a run of 4 albums starting at Chocolate City and ending with Funkentelechy where everything they put our was perfect. This album was smack in the middle of that. While I may prefer Funkadelic's Maggot Brain as George Clinton's most perfect album, this right here is the good stuff. Some of the best funk ever put to record.

First of all, it was very groovy I was mesmerized in the rythm and the melody. But lyrics and aspects, I just didn't catch it. Maybe Funk is not the thing I would enjoy. But after finishing the album I was humming and doing beat box and nodding at the beat that I mimicked. So yeah I would say it was very catchy but not quiet my style. I love it still but I will listen to it maybe occasionally. So 3 out of 5.

Two classics - Pfunk - Doobie Funk

George Clinton is the king of funk. When I'm in the mood for funk this fits the bill. I can't even begin to imagine what it would have been like hearing this for the first time back in the day. The production value is through the roof, and the overall composition is kind of mind bending with all the different melodies, counter melodies, harmonized vocals, and back rhythms.

𝘔𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 is pure funk spectacle. Led by George Clinton, Parliament turns deep grooves and thick basslines into something larger than life, wrapping their music in a playful sci-fi mythology that became central to the whole P-Funk universe. The rhythms are irresistible, the arrangements loose but confident, and the album never loses its sense of fun. At its core, though, the appeal is simple: it’s just incredibly funky. Few records capture the joy and swagger of 70s funk this effortlessly.

songs pretty good commentary annoying

these guys cured my arthritis rheumatism and migraines. very fun way to start my day & fun way to continue it by getting sucked into the p-funk lore rabbithole. bootsy collins space bass goes fucking insane throughout

this was such a treat after days of duds. improved my day marginally, I genuinely had a blast listening to this I can't think of a single song that wasn't great

The album's good and all. I just don't really connect to it. Maybe it's cause I don't like being around people and this is music for groups of people.

give up the funk (tear the roof off the sucker): super funky bass overall: groovy, funky (great bass lines)

I’ve heard this before many, many times and I own it. So, Parliament and Funkadelic had started putting together the whole p-funk mythology for a few albums before this, especially with Chocolate City, but this is the first real deep dive into the space themes and characters that came to define their aesthetic and every other p-funk spinoff going forward, and also when George Clinton started using the word “funk” in the same way the smurfs use the word “smurf”. Also it’s a kickass party record. Every single is a classic p-funk afronaut banger and you can’t help but dance your ass off listening to this shit. Without even considering the mythology it kicked off it’s an amazing record by itself, and it only grows more amazing when you consider what it inspired both in the p-funk universe and music in general.

Gran funky

George Clinton é zica!!

Funky, loose concept doesn't help or hurt my enjoyment, great driving album! Another great discovery!

Funky

Funk-y. Groove-y. Would make a fantastic live jam sesh.

I want to get funked up

Doesn’t move me but nice background music for coffee shop or park family gathering type. Feel good ambiance

Holy funk that was funklicious

This was so much fun - super groovy and uplifting. Some of the lyrics are...concerning. Problematic. But at least I wanna shake my ass.

I thought this was quite reserved for a Parliament record. It has grooves for sure, but I’d want it to go harder and weirder. Can’t dispute this is good though.

Great funky funk

It's good but not nearly as groundbreaking as I remember Funkadelic's stuff being. Track 1 is the best thing here by a country mile, it never quite reaches the personality showcased all over that track

4/5. Loved the bass work, lyrics, vibe, very enjoyable. Some songs on the latter half did last a bit longer than I felt necessary.

Basically an attempt to fit as many styles, genres and instruments as possible into 7 songs. Super fun. Didn't enjoy the final song "Night of the Thumpasorus Peoples" as much as the rest. Just a great culmination of funk, R&B, and rock.

Listen, I get it - it's full of samples and beats that have formed the foundation of so many of hip-hop's classics. But much like I don't need to like the taste of a raw olive to love the taste of olive oil, I don't love this album. I respect it and all it's given us....but I don't love it.

Funk is my fuel

Funky en su máxima expresión. "Give up the funk", es un temazo. Me quedo con el inicio de P-Funk.

Funky

This was really fun! Really funky, groovy, just a chill vibe, I like it!

leuk funk album (wel redelijk snel klaar mee)

A great folk piece The opener was quite intriguing Lowkey has a nice groove Would've been a nice album overall if I didn't associate this type of music with a slightly strange type of people... a little npc ones Has a lot of spacey and goofy sound effects Not as monotonous as I thought it will be, only one song got me to fast forward a bit Last song was ass!! Handcuffs was the best song I guess...

Mothership Connection - Parliament Im not a fan of funk. And because of that all the songs sounded the same. I just wanted the album to end :(.

Me gustó, es entretenido y buena banda sonora para la vida cotidiana.

Legendary! Fun! Amazing! Funky!

the best late night comfort soundtrack food for the dark night of the soul...

The rhythm is quite good. Very funky. Felt like I was at the UFO 70s disco. It seemed like it should represent this futuristic type of shi. Love it imo.

Funky. Bassy. Groovy. Yoinky Sploinky. But at times the song goes for too long and gets repetitive.

we do want the funk

Good stuff but not as earth shattering at Maggot Brain

I love Parliament's funk vibe. It's always a blast to listen to, and the iconic "Give Up the Funk" is a standout track

I liked it, but it's not my style. Loved the instrumental stuff🙏

P-funk (wants to get funked up) - wow sax! 7/10 Mothership Connection (star child) - Halfway thru the song, vocals are so smooth 8/10 Unfunky UFO - 6/10 Supergroovalisticprosifunkstication (the bumps bump) - 6/10 Handcuffs - Catchy! 7.5/10 Give up the funk (tear the roof off the sucker) - Chorus is chanty/rhythmic, i like it 7/10 Night of the Thumpasorus Peoples - gagagooga. A lot of instrumentals. 6/10 A total 70's album. Very funk, with techno-space theme in all the songs. A good album for me to listen to if I want a 70's vibe on a outing. Fun, and energetic, but a bit repetitive at times. A pick-me-up type of album. 3/5

Another excellent Funk album. Highlights: Give Up The Funk, Mothership Connection and P-Funk. 3.9

Funky but maybe too funky for me

Solid, happy to hear again

It's alright. The one song everyone knows is good, it has a decent vibe even though it's a bit too weird in parts.

great album

Funk

Have I listened to this album before? No How familiar am I with this album? Completely unfamiliar How do I feel about this artist? I do not know this artist Favorite song(s)? Give Up the Funk (I recognized this one) Overall Thoughts: Funk continues to not be my thing but this was an okay listen. Everything kind of ran together and not much stood out.

Funk you up!

mtomtomto groovy. amei

Me sorprendió, muy bien :)

Absolute banger. Sampled by dre, warren g, kool & gang, etc.

Awesome funky journey

fucking awesome

Goofy, but fun.

All time classic album no skips no breaks incredibly influential and fun

Funky, so funky! Danced around to this while sorting my laundry. A little repetitive in places.

Is anyone having more fun than these guys? These are irresistible grooves that develop and give you time to ride for a while, but they are still tight enough that I was surprised the first time the album ended. Just an all around good time.

Mothership Connection is a gem. There are so many P-Funk albums, and at some point, I have a hard time telling one from another. But if I needed to point to a perfect entry point, it'd be this one. PSA: If you haven't had the pleasure of seeing them live, make it a top concert-going priority. George Clinton probably doesn't have much time left, and they are truly magical live. Or maybe he's immortal. There would be worse choices for a Highlander.

Not my cup of tea hut I do like the efoort put into the production of the music

No podes tener este álbum debut, temazo tras temazo

I was starting to think that listening to so much music was having the effect that everything sounded the same and nothing was cutting through. Then this album turned up. I like funk. It wakes up something in me, switches on my ears at the same time as makes my muscles twitch and bones sway. Loads of space in this mix. (Head phones). Backing singers whisper in my ears as pianist somewhere back in the corner there and saxophonist under a street light somewhere. I’m finding the washy chords in the keys a bit distracting. Sometimes feels like two albums playing at once. Nice though 4 because it was a relief to be reminded I do actually like music (lots of albums last week we’re ‘meh’) and I would listen to this again and seek out other recordings by the band. Number tracks: 7 Fave track:4: Supergroovalisticproifunkstication (The Bumps Bump). Short list: P-Funk (wants to get Funked Up), Handcffs.

This one of the pinnacles of Funk.

This record has an enjoyable, consistently uplifting vibe, but none of the tracks stand out from the rest—at least on first listen.

funky

This one was a lot of fun. There were some moments where it got too repetitive, even on the songs I enjoyed the most, but overall it was a good time. Liked the weird alien theme too. Fav song: Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker) - also really liked P. Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up) Least fav: Night of the Thumpasorus Peoples

I like the funkiness of it but some songs do go on for a while. If this was playing in the conversation pit though I wouldn’t turn it off. Specific rating - 4.1 Fav song - we want the funk Least fav - supergroovalisticprosifunkistication

Not a huge fan of the talking in the songs and they can get a bit repetitive but overall very very fun album. Made me want to dance- but I think my office mates would find that a tad strange so I stuck to head nodding and a tiny bit of shoulder wiggling. Favourite song: Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker) Least: Night Of The Thumpasorus Peoples
