RC: This was the band that future Rubber Band members Joel "Razor Sharp"
Johnson and Gary "Mudbone" Cooper were in. The overall sound is that
of Funkadelic, circa 1972. The percussion is crisp and precise and the
bass playing is solid, but both are definitely supporting features. The
guitars are way out front, switching between JB's riffing and Funkadelic
wailing. Horns punch through from time to time, also doing riffs for the
most part. Razor doesn't seem to be playing those high keyboard sounds
that he later became famous for; he went for a nastier, Bernie Worrell
sort of sound. I don't have much information on personnel for this record,
but I wouldn't rule out Mudbone on drums. All in all, it's a very good
record with lots of interesting moments, though the sound is very raw.
I personally like my funk extra raw and untenderized, but many others don't.
"Serve 'Em" is the album's best tune, starting with a hard and heavy fuzz
guitar sound matched up against a pounding organ. Angry lyrics erupt
melodically, really helping the song to swing. Good percussion tops it off.
"Nixon's Ego Trip" is a strange instrumental that centers around the guitar.
It starts off with a strong riff that interlocks with a steady bass groove,
and then veers off into a long solo. "Great Debate" is another strange
song, this time about doing heroin and its perils. The mood is set by
keyboards and horn blasts. "Get Some Of This" is a funkier number, with
everyone in the band going off and good singing. "Last Apocalypse" is
another slow, moody number, with the flute taking center stage.
This album is absurdly rare and available only as an import. Good luck.
