Cat: HIQLP 2 096. Rel: 28 Mar 22
Funk/Rare Groove
Funkadelic made some brilliant albums throughout their career, but few quite as inspired as their third full-length, 1971's Maggot Brain. It has consistently featured in critics lists of the best albums of the 1970s, and it's easy to see why. Featuring a ground-breaking mix of saucer-eyed soul, progressive rock, acid-fried funk rock, low-slung delights and effects-laden aural hedonism, it boasts countless sonic highlights. Chief amongst these is 10-minute title track 'Maggot Brain', where a bizarre spoken word monologue from George Clinton makes way for ten-minutes of highly emotive, reverb and delay-drenched jazz guitar from Eddie Hazel. This reissue edition also includes two additional versions of this iconic track: a wonderfully wayward 1971 live version and Brendan M Gillen's superbly spaced-out, 2017 'BMG Dub' mix.
