What a great album. Awesome bass, and just so much going on with horns, synth, guitar, and vocals sliding in and out and arrangements going from restrained delivery to all out funk. 6/5
This is peak George Clinton to me. While One Nation is Under a Groove is great, it isn’t quite the sound I associate with Clinton. Aqua Boogie is my other fave and the far out sound I associate with Parliament. This album is more of a direct lineage from James Brown’s funk but is reaching for that spaced out sound. What really struck me today is how clean the production is… I’ve always thought of Clinton’s sound as cacophonous but this album has presence of stage depth and the instruments are distinct and separate. There is a cacophony but if you listen clearly you can hear everything. And it grooves!
Funky. In some places, nothing seems to be happening at all. The noises during the Supergroove song are pretty bad. It's not really my thing, wouldn't listen again. 2 / 5 stars.
