Free Music Notes for Millennium Party: Funk
Free Music Review: This CD Changed My Life!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I vividly remember walking into Circuit City six years ago and picking up this CD out of morbid curiosity. At the time, I was fifteen years old, and had spent most of my life listening to mainstream oldies radio. I had been exposed to copious amounts of Motown, which I love passionately to this very day, but other than the polished arrangements of Motown and Northern Soul, I had never really been introduced to black popular music from this era.
When I got home that day and flipped this disc, my life was changed forever. The thumping bass, screeching brass, and thundering drums woke me up to a musical style that was wholly different from anything I had ever experienced. The Ohio Players, Parliament Funkadellic, Roger & Zapp, etc. raised the bar for what could be done with a live band and a groovy hook. If you want to know what musical pioneers were directly responsible for hip-hop and rap (a musical genre that I've only recently come to respect and appreciate), look no further than this fabulous compilation.
I would recommend this CD for anybody who ever believed that nothing musically worthwhile originated in the 1970's, or for those who may be put off by inevitable comparisons between funk and disco. The bands on this disc pack such a wallop that their role in the history of popular music is as unquestionable as it was pivotal in the transition from traditional R&B to hip-hop and G-funk. And, speaking personally, this is definitely one of my top ten "Desert Island Disc" picks. I can't imagine a more wonderful way to spend the rest of my life than on a secluded tropical paradise, blaring George Clinton from a good strong sub-woofer.
