Music reviews of Maggot Brain
Music Review: Classic
Rating: 5 Stars
It was not that George Clinton's Funkadelic was not revolutionary before Maggot Brain. The band spent two albums in 1970, Funkadelic and Free Your Mind...And Your Ass Will Follow proving that funk and soul could be as heavy and psychedelic as any rock. It was not like the Temptations taking ideas from Hendrix on , say, Cloud Nine. It was erasing ALL the lines between soul funk and rock. And black and white music.
But Maggot Brain takes this to a new level. Eddie Hazel does an amazing wha wha solo on the title track: one of the best in popular music. But great solos are all over rock, and if you are just listening to Hazel, you are only getting half the point. The guitar on most funk records was a comping instrument--sometimes given a jangly little solo in the middle. "Maggot Brain" showed that the funky wha wha could create a funky solo. Funky as funk, loud as rock. Loud funk rock. Black and white and funk and rock all over.
And who cared. Not George Clinton: Was he too busy bringing funk to all kinds of music? Or all kinds of music to funk?
The answer is Yes.
Listen to "Can You Get To That." The riff that starts it off is folk blues, but listen to how Clinton places a female vocal section straight off of Soul Train onto the rustic guitar. The piece works as all the genres placed into a blender, coming out as a new type of music. Totally alien ideas, superimposed. Madness--on paper, but in reality, on vinyl, it is as natural as air.
"Super Stupid" is more ironic acid crunch. "Armies Of Destruction" Hazel filling Hendrix's shoes. I need not outline the cross breed process again.
But Maggot Brain was Clinton's vision now come completely true--music that could go anywhere, any place, any time. In 1971, when racial lines were being erased at a snails pace, Clinton sprayed you with too much acid wha wha party whoopie cushion funk rock cream for you to remember they ever even existed.
Description of Maggot Brain
Funkadelic's ultimate early classic (from 1971) remastered from the original masters for the first time in 15 years. Maggot Brain is rated by, amongst others, Mojo Magazine as an all-time classic. Their critics voted it the fourth greatest guitar album ever, beaten only by Jimi Hendrix and the Who. Guitarist Eddie Hazel's playing on the title track is nothing short of stunning. This 2005 reissue includes the original seven track album plus a bonus alternate mix from 1971 of Maggot Brain, the album's title track. It also includes Whole Lot Of BS, the non album B-side of the album's third single, Hit It And Quit It, and the 45 I Miss My Baby recorded by US Music with Funkadelic, a copy of which recently sold among collectors for $150. The booklet includes in-depth sleeve notes by funk expert Dean Rudland, with details of the history of the band and this recording. The package also includes a full color reproduction of the original artwork, contemporary memorabilia and copies of advertisements.Classic Rock CDs
