Funkadelic -Tales of Kidd Funkadelic .flac files

the highlights of this album were:

"Butt-To-Butt"--for it's sheer weirdness and that sick guitar
solo towards the end. which I don't know if it's the late
Eddie Hazel, Michael Hampton, or Ron Brykowski
(an unsung white member of the early funk mob!)
who was playing it, but whomever it was, they were killing it!

"Let's Take It To The People"--Just a groovy little clavinet & guitar
driven ditty that's short and sweet. I like the vocal arrangement and
overall attitude of the song, though it's quite nonsensical.

"Undisco Kidd" was just BAAADDD!!--Like the song says!
So dang funky with Bootsy bubblin' and thumpin' on his
mutron spacebass, Bernie "Da Vinci" Worrell creating whole
new soundscapes on synthesizers and piano that were then unheard of!
(Dr. Dre would capitalize off of them big time 20 yrs later!),
and ol' George signifying and recanting his tale of
"The Kidd V.S. The Freaky Little Groovy From The Funky Side Of Town"
in his cool laid back pre-hip hop era style!

"Take Your Dead Ass Home" gets a mention not for it's music,
but for it's rawkus chorus, which was a regular chant at P-Funk
shows, and it's naughty nursery rhyme style limericks
"There once was a man from Peru!"...etc.
Sounds harmless and silly by today's profane & in-your-face
standards, but it was taboo wicked stuff to my
12 yr old ears back then! (-:

"I'm Never Gonna Tell It" was an unusual approach,
chordally and vocally for a love song with a soulful & funky edge.
P-Funk wasn't so much into the schmaltzy syrupy romantic ballads
of the time, so they had to funk them up to make it fit
within their concept.

"Tales Of Kidd Funkadelic" was a 12 minute and 56 minute
experimental synthesizer opus by one of the unsung innovators
and geniuses of modern popular music!
Bernie "Da Vinci" "The Insurance Man For The Funk" Worrell
was well versed in the classical, jazz, R&B and rock idioms
on keyboards since the age of 5, when he composed his own
first concerto! Though the keyboard sounds sound outdated
by today's standards, remember this was all analogue stuff!--
So Bernie was literally creating his own sounds that nobody
else was using at that time, and pushing the envelope for
what the synthesizer could do!--Creating a language for pop,
rock, alternative, techno, and everything that came after it!
Just smoke you a good joint or take you a few sips of a
good drink, turn this up in your headphones or your speakers
and take the journey! (Go on!--Don't be scuuurrrd!)
Sparse, ominous, weird vocals, congas...POST MODERN TRIBALISM!!

Last but not least, is still a favorite of mine...
"How Do You View Yeaw?" is basically metaphysical theory
in a slow sinewy funky grooved out 3 minute & 39 second sermon!
(Hear "LIBERATION" by Outkast, and you'll see where they got
the vibe of that song from!)
"Have You Ever Known Someone Who Takes Personal The Rain?"
"Sees His Glass Half-Empty, Rather Than Half-Full?"
Basically, how you see yourself inside manifests itself
in the result of your life's experiences!--FUNK IS ZEN!!
Bootsy thumpin', Bernie whizzin', the KF girls sounding like
space sirens, George and the boys musin' together in key!
---Fade Out---
This album sounds great digitally remastered, and is essential
if you are just discovering what the whole P-Funk Movement
was about and collecting crucial albums in it's
evolutionary development. Don't let the unfunky, stodgy,
Placebo Syndrome-effected hum-drums turn you from your path!
Discover the hidden fun, smokin' groove, and subliminal brilliance
that was THE PARLIAFUNKADELICMENT THANG!! Funk On Y'all!

As soon as I can find it I'll put the last Funkadelic album I haven't posted, "Cosmic Slop," up.

Enjoy and please seed.
