Andy, you should click on that link that novabreaker posted and listen to those samples. i think you might like it. it has that whole early 80's vibe to it. Another album you might be intereseted in is:



Illoominutty- Weapon of Choice

they kind of have that funk rock thang going on, but for the most part this album deals with the funk. i pretty much just consider them an extentsion of P-Funk.


I see both Paligap and Blackguitaristz like this one so I know this one must be good. Thanks Sinisterpentantonic.

i just read an article saying he recorded a song and shot a video for the Bengals. Can you imagine Bootsy writing a song for your state's team. Too fucking cool!

i'll have to look out for the new release, thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, that's his homebase. smile

There's so much older stuff that I still have to get, I'm cool with another 10 year break for funk. Then they can come back hard!

Funk's been gone for more than 10 years. It should have never left. The only time something should go out of style is if something better took it's place. Judging by the music of the last 15 years, that sure as hell didn't happen.

i listened to all of the samples and some of it is a bit light in the ass, but i think i'll still order it. lol


Really cool. thumbs up! But don't come to me for a refund if you don't like it as much as I did. wink

I really however do, absolutely, love "It's All Downhill From Here". It's a really nice, almost innocent feelgood record with an artistic touch as well.

Some people are always saying...."There is still good music out there these days but you have to look for it". Well, for me, if it ain't funk, it can stay lost and hidden wherever it's at. It's time to put your money where your mouth is. When is the last time you heard some decent funk made?

Of course, Prince still makes funk. Jamiroquai has some decent funk also. I thought Madonna's song "Music" was kinda funky. Other than that, I have to go back to around 1994, 1995, and 1996 with Cameo's "In The Face Of Funk" album, The Barkays' "48 Hours" album, and War's "Peace Sign" album. A few years before that was The Barkays' "Put A Little Nasty On It" single and Roger's "Bridging The Gap" album. Other than those very few and a few tracks from Lenny Kravitz such as "Come On And Love Me", I can't think of any. The group, M People was funky as hell but that's getting more into the house side, which I love but that's a whole other story.
Andy are you hip to Martin Luther? I saw his video on VH1 Soul. This brother is bad. Also check out Lyfe. He's pretty good to. I also like Keshia Coles. She sounds like a young Gladys Knight. There's some good funk out there. Its just not mainstream.

if you're looking for some good, recently recorded FUNK, go anywhere in DC and cop somma dat Go-Go. more "pocket" than you can stand!

recommended artists:
rare essence
backyard
lissen
and of course, chuck brown


other than that, the only other funk left is in the church. then contemporary gospel bama's be slammin'!

Weapon of Choice Greatest hits might be better. It has all that Illoominutty has and more. Saw them live once and they were great as well.
