Our Take

Upon first listen, Funkadelic's "The Electric Spanking Of War Babies" hits you like a psychedelic funk explosion, with George Clinton at the helm steering the Mothership into uncharted territory. This album is a wild, intoxicating ride full of political statements and cosmic grooves that will make you want to dance like there's no tomorrow.

The opening track, "Shockwaves," sets the tone with its powerful vocals and funky bassline that immediately grab your attention. As the album progresses, tracks like "Funk Gets Stronger (Part 1)" and "Funk Gets Stronger (Killer Millimeter Longer Version)" showcase the band's ability to blend infectious melodies with socially conscious lyrics that are still relevant today.

However, it's not all serious business on this album. Funkadelic also know how to have a good time, as evidenced by the playful and quirky "Smokey" and the infectious groove of "Electric Spanking Of War Babies."

Overall, "The Electric Spanking Of War Babies" is a daring and exhilarating experience that pushes the boundaries of funk music. With its bold experimentation and infectious energy, this album is a testament to Funkadelic's legendary status in the music industry. So grab your space boots and get ready to groove, because this album is a party that you won't want to miss.

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.
