Funkadelic

Funkadelic’s “Maggot Brain” (Westbound HIQLP 2 096) remains a psychedelic‑funk monolith. The title track’s 10‑minute guitar soliloquy is volcanic and vulnerable; surrounding cuts fuse gospel‑tinged harmonies, dirt‑floor grooves and acid‑fuzz attitude into something fearlessly American. This heavyweight pressing honors the album’s extremes—near‑silence to storm—with room for the music’s cosmic drama to breathe. A cornerstone for any serious vinyl collection.
