Music for Your Mother

If your taste for funk leans to the obscure and the profound, go no further than this retrospective 2 CD set of Funkadelic's singles from their formative days on Detroit's Westbound label. It's basically a compendium of every Funkadelic single and B-side released from 1968-1976. None of these singles nicked the R&B Top 10--in fact, Funkadelic was so far ahead of its time, most of these tracks never charted at radio, but became staples of the group's live show. Sound quality is raw on a program including slices of acid-crazed black psychedelia, including some stellar gems. Original single edits of "Cosmic Slop," "Standing on the Verge of Getting It On," and "Red Hot Mama" will make you long for the extended album versions. Yet as an overview of this groundbreaking band, this is a great place to start. --Tom Vickers more
