Our Take

Ah, the funky, futuristic sounds of Parliament-Funkadelic. Standing On The Verge - Best Of is a tantalizing glimpse into the mad genius of George Clinton and his band of merry music makers.

From the opening track "Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On", you know you're in for a wild ride. The disjointed rhythms, wailing guitars, and soulful vocals all come together in a cacophony of sound that is as alluring as it is challenging.

Tracks like "One Nation Under A Groove" and "Flash Light" are infectious in their groove, with catchy hooks and irresistible beats that will have you dancing in your seat. But don't be fooled by the funk - there are layers upon layers of complexity here, with intricate arrangements and experimental flourishes that will keep you coming back for more.

Clinton's lyrics are a trip in themselves, full of social commentary, psychedelic visions, and just plain nonsense. But somehow, it all makes sense in the context of the music, adding to the overall surreal atmosphere of the album.

In short, Standing On The Verge - Best Of is a must-listen for any fan of funk, soul, or just good old-fashioned weirdness. So grab your platforms, dust off your disco ball, and get ready to get down with Funkadelic.

About the artist

Funkadelic

Funkadelic, the cosmic soul collective hailing from the depths of Detroit, are nothing short of musical pioneers. Led by the enigmatic George Clinton, this colourful troupe of musicians effortlessly blends funk, soul, psychedelia, and rock into a sonic experience like no other. With their outlandish stage presence and boundary-pushing sound, Funkadelic have been delighting audiences since the late 1960s. Tracks like "Maggot Brain" and "One Nation Under a Groove" not only showcase the band's impressive musicianship but also their ability to transport listeners to a higher plane of existence. But Funkadelic is not just about the music - it's also about the attitude. With their trademark afros, platform boots, and psychedelic outfits, the band embodies the free-spirited, rebellious ethos of the 1970s counterculture. And let's not forget their penchant for onstage antics - from elaborate costume changes to mind-bending light shows, a Funkadelic performance is never just a concert, it's a full-blown sensory overload. Despite their enduring influence on the music world, Funkadelic have always managed to stay true to their roots. Whether they're performing in dive bars or headlining festivals, the band's passion for creating funky, soulful music is unwavering. So, if you're looking for a musical experience that is equal parts mind-bending and toe-tapping, look no further than Funkadelic. Just be prepared to have your senses dazzled and your soul stirred - because with this iconic group, anything is possible.
