Funkadelic Maggot Brain (Vinyl, Westbound Records, 1971) ***
Genre: American pop/rock
Places I remember: Real Groovy Records, Auckland
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles/
Gear costume: Maggot Brain
Active compensatory factors: The ten minute freakout experience that is Maggot Brain really dominates this album.
I first experienced the song on a drug themed cover-mount CD on a Mojo magazine. It is certainly startling and the guitar of Eddie Hazel is definitely inspired.
The rest of the album isn't as memorable but that's only because Maggot Brain eclipses it so completely.
Where do they all belong? Use this to graduate onto Fishbone.
