smile Yeah, Those first 3 Funkadelic albums (4, If You count Parliament's Osmium)are definitely comin' from a different place...like Acid-Soul...Kinda like Isaac Hayes's early stuff, but more tripped out and psychedelic...hmmm, I guess "Funkadelic" is the perfect description for it, huh?

Yeah, and u also need to check out Ruth Copeland's solo albums that has Funkadelic as her backup band. All of these albums are drenched with Hendrix mixed with Sly mixed with being high! Those albums are crucial listening.

"Eulogy & light" backwards is the gospelsong "Open our eyes" sung by
Eddie Hazel.That original take is featured on the Funkadelic compilation
"Music for my mother".An awsome 2cd set covering the Funkadelic years up 2
1976.It's a classic gospeltune that alsoEarth,Wind & Fire did on their album
with the same name.

(I always loved EWF's arrangement of that L Lumpkin tune, BTW) yeah, the fact that they decided to play a gospel tune backwards kinda shows the frame of mind they were in during the recording of that album!
