 Funkadelic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The self-titled debut album, Funkadelic, was released in 1970.
Funkadelic was originally the backing band for the doo wop group, The Parliaments.
The band was added in 1964, primarily for tours, and consisted of Frankie Boyce, Richard Boyce and Langston Booth.

 Funkadelic - Maggot Brain. Review by Austen Zuege
"Funkadelic" was the rock band while "Parliament" was the funk band.
Maggot Brain was Funkadelic's most brilliantly executed album.
Funkadelic handles this song is such a way that these ideals never seem futile.

 Funkadelic: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more Music.com
The album, which reflected a growing consistency in styles between Parliament [+] and Funkadelic [+], became the first Funkadelic [+] LP to reach platinum (the same year that Parliament [+]'s Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome [+] did the same).
The band pursued album statements of social/political commentary while Parliament [+] stayed in the funk singles format, but Funkadelic [+] nevertheless paralleled the more commercial artist's success, especially in the late '70s when the interplay between bands moved the Funkadelic [+] sound closer to a unified P-Funk style.
At just the point that Funkadelic [+] appeared to be at the top of its powers, the band began to unravel.

 Funkadelic FAQ
Funkadelic albums are heavily guitar-oriented, with lots of solos and instrumental pieces.
All 60's soul groups were influenced by the JB sound in one way or another, although early Funkadelic recordings owed very little to him.
GC immediately took off with this idea, and it eventually affected the way the recordings of the two bands would sound.

 Funkadelic - Free Your Mind, and Your Ass Will Follow, Funkadelic Review
Funkadelic do not believe in the 3 minute radio friendly pop song, they are far too busy exploring sounds at the edge of the universe.
This is an album that aint about free love and shit like that.
With the albums title track George Clinton reinvents you into his world, and this time he has let the goblins out of his head as he and his band digest more and acid.

 Funkadelic: The Afro-Alien Diaspora
The first Funkadelic album, released on a small indie Detroit label called Westbound, is a supernova, the sound of Clinton's first explosion of creativity.
Parliament had the hit records, the colorful spaceship stage shows and costumes, and the upbeat funky dance music.
Nevertheless, Clinton was able to take a potentially disastrous recording session and squeezed out yet another Funkadelic classic, with the sorrowful guitar solo on "Maggot Brain" as the centerpiece.

 Funkadelic
Funkadelic's alter ego, Parliament, was signed to Holland-Dozier-Holland's Invictus label in the early 1970s, and in addition to backing the vocalists on one LP (Osmium) Funkadelic collaborated with British singer/songwriter Ruth Copeland, who also happened to be married to Motown producer Jeffrey Bowen.
The best of the early Funkadelic records, funk and roll with great riffs and lyrics to match, including a moving tribute to Vietnam vets ("March To The Witch's Castle") and a brutally honest portrait of inner-city family life on the title track.
This attempted comeback was canned by the record company; only the title track (a painfully repetitive electronic percussion workout) was ever released.

 One Nation P-Funk Page: Tiki Fulwood
Tiki left Funkadelic in 1969, however, to become the drummer in soul singer Tyrone Davis' band.
Tiki played drums on Funkadelic's first recording, "Good Old Music," and was invited, along with Eddie Hazel and Billy Nelson, by John Daniels to come play at his club Maverick Flats in Los Angeles.
These include Funkadelic's "Clone Communicado" from 1976, and the Brides of Funkenstein's "Take My Love" and "Rat Kissed the Cat." And he even made an appearance on Parliament's Live Earth Tour album.

 FUNKADELIC / FUNKADELIC
With their 1970 self-titled debut album, we hear the raw funk rhythms of the Meters collide with the psychedelic soul sounds of Jimi Hendrix, giving rise to the musical revolution that was Funkadelic.
A raw and nasty musical manifesto loudly expressing the madness of King George Clinton, founding father to the "extraterrestrial brothers" of Funkadelic and Parliament.
One of the few instances where a band’s name totally describes its sound.

 RollingStone.com: Tales Of Kidd Funkadelic : Funkadelic : Review
The title song is Funkadelic at its most excessive: almost 13 minutes of Moog rambling and a sticky mixture of jumbled voices, guitars and congas that sounds like a backing track from an old Night Gallery episode.
It wouldn't be fair not to say that some Funkadelic music is virtually unlistenable, representing head Funkadelic George Clinton's worst self-indulgences.
The rest is better: "Butt-to-Buttresuscitation" is a howling funk opus, with some slick synthesizer flourishes from Bernie Worrell, while "Let's Take It to the People" offers "If you ain't gonna get it on/Take your dead ass home" as a sure replacement for "Shit goddamn/Get off your ass and jam" as a concert litany.

 JR.com: Funkadelic - Maggot Brain in Music: Funk:
But this time they are much more coherent and less reliant on studio trickery and psychedelic effects (with the exception of the album's closer, the instrumental freak-out "Wars of Armageddon").
Led by funk godfather George Clinton, they released a brace of enormously influential albums throughout the decade, buoyed by the liquid bass lines of Bootsy Collins and the mind-melting guitar of Eddie Hazel.
Funkadelic: Eddie Hazel, Garry Shider, Tawl Ross (vocals, guitar); Bernie Worrell (vocals, keyboards); Fuzzy Haskins (vocals, drums); George Clinton, Grady Thomas, Raymond Davis, Calvin Simon (vocals); Billy Nelson (bass instrument); Tiki Fulwood (drums).

 Funkadelic Album List
GZ: These early Funkadelic albums are guitar dominated funky psychedelia, influenced in sound more by Hendrix than by Sly or James Brown.
GZ: These are the greatest of the middle period Funkadelic, as danceability takes its rightful place as an element of the sound, and Pedro Bell takes on the album covers.
Meanwhile, in the track listings, links to the lyrics for each individual song are provided.

 Amazon.com: Music: Funkadelic
The music that works best on here is the rawest of the material-- loose, open, and feeling like its teetering on the edge, manic guitar lines and seemingly random vocals, this material shines.

Hearing George's reactions during some of the songs I think he was amazed at what he created.

 Britannica.com: Head Sounds - Parliament-Funkadelic
By 1970 Clinton was producing albums for both the renamed Parliament and Funkadelic--essentially the same entity recording for different labels.
Performing throughout the northeastern United States and recording in Detroit, the group began to emphasize its backing band, Funkadelic.
Parliament-Funkadelic, also known as P-Funk, was a massive group of American performers that greatly influenced black music in the 1970s.

 BEATBOTS Reviews: Funkadelic - Hardcore Jollies
This album is just a placeholder for Funkadelic.
Funkadelic at this time, however, had become caricatures of themselves as its alter ego Parliament became the nation's premier funk band.
Funkadelic might have been the link between Sly & the Family Stone and James Brown, but Hardcore Jollies fails to demonstrate that this actually makes Funkadelic any good.
