Roger Troutman and the Human body

I just got my hands on this 1976 album and I must say Im really impressed, it's so different from the Zapp stuffs which sounds really dated these days. I just love the raw Funkadelic styled jams, I also get an Arthur Lee feel in 1 or 2 songs.
The band is awesome espercially Roger's guitar playing.
Can someone please tell me more about this album and if there's any similar ones.

I believe that they only did 2 albums together before becoming "Roger" and "Zapp". If you get the 2 disc greatest hits package from Rhino, it has some good details on these album and some of their early work.

Yes.
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Same people but different styles as in Funkadelic and Parliament.
