Because of his semi retirement early in the 80's Bootsy seemed to have bypassed the electrofunk generation all together.But this 1988 comeback album leaps right into that vein as if the last five years didn't happen.But you have to admit that the driving "Party On Plastic" and even the pop/R&B of "Love Song" are classic Bootsy and his performance,as always is as best described as manic proffessionalism-Bootsy knows his stuff but he NEVER lets his ability get in the way of his humor.First there was Larry Graham of course (THE MASTER),then came Boosty-from whom the seeds Stanley Clarke,Verdine White and Louis Johnson sprang.Pure magnifisance!

What's Bootsy's Doing, was a comeback disc for one of the greatest bass players that ever lived. He was becoming a popular musician again so with the help of Malcolm Mc Laren and others, he got back into the studio to record some strange and weird pop music. A hybrid of rock, funk and a little spacy dubs. Samples and even a vocal apperance from Malcolm McLaren and the Atomic Dog himself George Clinton. Pure 80's music. Bootsy would later come into his own when he started to colaborate with BucketHead, Bill Laswell and Bernnie Worrell.

Highly recommended for Boosty Collins fans.

I must say I was really blown out of my mind when I heard this funky stuff. It's like the funk still is standing strong, cool! I don't know what's your opinion, but I can't get enough of this funky feeling!!

Bootsy Collins is One OF The Most Creative Musical Forces Ever.His Music is Timeless.He is a Very Gifted Genius.He Creates SO Many Incredible Sounds.He Plays Many Instruments Very Well.This Album is Slamming.

thgis ain't a bad cd but it reminds me tooi much of morris day and the time and other newjack acts around the time but still if you love bootsy collins you should cop it.

One listen and EVERYTHING changes!! This is the only album that I enjoyed from BEGINNING TO END!! Bootsy went on a long vacation and gathered himself and finely tuned his space bass and PRODUCED THIS FINE ALBUM! After 6 years of silence check this out. This was not a continuation of CASPER nor was there any P-Funk. This was WILLIAM BOOTSY COLLINS at his finest!! The music on this album were not just good, but totally refined and polished!! I thought that ULTRA WAVE was my favorite album by BOOTSY but this one is TIED as my favorite!!! "Party on Plastic" is the FUNK favorite but you should check out the 12inch version (if you can find it). "Subliminal Seduction" made me shake my booty HARD!! "LEAKIN" was excellent with George Clinton but what impressed me more and made me buy like 10 copies of this album was BOOTSY's heart and soul really came out on DANCE EASY "Love Song" and "I Wanna Be Kissin You" and his inner self really shines on "Yo Mama Loves Ya". This was BOOTSY in the 90's when new jack ruled but BOOTSY did not SELL OUT and made an INCREDIBLE set of jams here! He even goes vintage here with "Save Whats Mine For Me". BOOTSY sounded HAPPY and CONTENT and did not have to impress anyone!! "A SURE FIRE ADD to my collection!!!
