3.0 out of 5 stars Definite it's not, May 3, 2006

By

This review is from: Whole Funk & Nothing But the Funk Definitive (Audio CD)

Especially Funkadelic's later work for Warner is being recycled over & over, often under the banner definite. It's important to realize that they mean the definite Warner recordings; none of their Westbound material is represented here. Where as you could claim to have a pretty much definite Funkadelic collection if you've got all their Westbound material, this hardly could be said of their Warner releases.

Funkadelic did much of their groundbreaking work on Westbound and cashed in at Warner, at least for a while. Their span at Warner was also when Funkadelic went belly-up. This had much to do with the fact Funkadelic wasn't a real band anymore by the time they left Westbound. It was more just one of the projects of P-Funk mastermind George Clinton, who used Funkadelic for his more rock oriented material. By this point in his career drugs became growingly more important, music slowly became second. The Warner years essentially chronicle the slow but steady decline of Funkadelic.

5.0 out of 5 stars INCLUDES THE ROCKIN' INSTRUMENTAL OF ONE NATION UNDER A GROO, March 18, 2005

By 

One World "One World" (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Whole Funk & Nothing But the Funk Definitive (Audio CD)

Oops I ran out of space in my title. Not only does this cd have some of George Clinton's best work, it has a long lost gem: The instrumental version of One Nation Under A Groove. No! This ain't an instrumental to sing Karaoke over, you would be hard pressed to do so competing with the rock guitar solo which takes center stage.

This version came as a b-side for the Disco Mix of One Nation and part of it was in the Disco Mix. Now the Disco Mix has surfaced on cd, particularly on the Phat Trax series, but this version has never been available on cd - at least to my knowledge - until this release.

Also on this cd is (Not Just) Knee Deep.

4.0 out of 5 stars Raw classic funk, September 10, 2005

This review is from: Whole Funk & Nothing But the Funk Definitive (Audio CD)

It doesn't get better than the Clinton P-Funk empire. Each song funkier and qurikier than the next. My personal favorites includes "(Not Just) Knee Deep", "Oh, I", "Electro-Cuties", "Cholly", and of course, the band's perennial song "One Nation Under A Groove". This label, Union Square Music, has a lot of great music and I'm going to order some more from this label.
