Theo Parris used to play it... The beside | (Dope Computer) | samples George Clinton's Atomic Dog | | Can you point me out to a website with some p funk information? This is probably the definitive P-Funk website: http://www.duke.edu/~tmc/pfunk.html However I find that while it's an amazing compendium of information, I certainly don't share the tastes of the authors. I get the idea of them being people who wince at the sound of a synthesiser, and their favourite tracks tend to be the ones where the sound is as close to rock as possible. So be wary if they say this isn't a good track or the best track on this album is... because it's only their opinion...

Re: [313] p-funk
Can't forget Mothership Connection. P-funk at its fullest. As for my Funkadelic favorite, It would have to be Not Just Knee Deep. make my funk the P-funk.

RE: [313] p-funk
free your mind...and your ass will follow, maggot brain and chocolate city would have to be my choices, theyre not very 'techno' but i always thought that the funk came from mr clinton whereas the more robotic electronic side came from kraftwerk. also the mothership connection live dvd is WELL worth checking - i think i have a parliament documentary where just about all the original detroit crew recall having their minds totally blown going to check out that tour. neil -Original Message- From: Ian Dinsmor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 5:40 AM To: Mxyzptlk; Samuel Hobbs; 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: [313] p-funk Can't forget Mothership Connection.

Re: [313] p-funk
My favourite Parliament albums are: Funkentelechy vs Pacebo Syndrome (Flashlight), Mothership Connection (swing down sweet chariot - not futuristic?!), Motor Booty Affair (Aqua Boogie is all over the place now with modern RB) and Up For The Down Stroke (if only for The Goose!) I realised how militant I can get about Parliament a few months back when someone moaned round at mine that Motor Booty Affair just wasn't funky. Grrr! I think Flashlight pretty well shows what he's (Derrick May) on about. Although there's no real equivalent, Juan Atkin's Infiniti or Deep Space era Model 500 stuff often has that feel for me. He definitely puts on his best P Funk voice for singing, too. Jonny. I'm as happy as a monkey with a peanut machine please suggest some parliament funkadelic albums which would help solidify in my mind what Derrick May means when he says detroit techno is kraftwerk and george clinton in an elevator. -sam - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [313] p-funk
A couple of years ago Derrick May took a turn at The Wire's Invisible Jukebox. He listened tried to identify tracks by Herbie Hancock, Olly Wilson, First Choice, Dade Krama, UR, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Ice Cube, A Guy Called Gerald (one of the unsung heroes of future music), The Williams Fairey Brass Band (Acid Brass version of Strings...) Last track up was Funkadelic's (Not Just) Knee Deep, from Uncle Jam Wants You (Warners). Here's a transcription of what followed: DM: Hell, yeah! [Starts singing along] You can go to Detroit now and this stuff is still on rotation on the radio. This is a big part of my youth. M. Shallcross: So is this your favourite track from today's selection? DM: Yeah, everything else is kind of okey-doke. I wouldn't mind playing this at a party now, just to see what happens. I've heard Rob Hood play this, but I don't think he played enough of it. MS: Your famous and somewhat over-repeated equation for Techno was 'Kraftwerk and George Clinton meeting in an elevator'. Does Techno sometimes forget its funk roots? DM: Yes, I think so. It was never meant to be just about technology. It was the sound of man and machine making love. I would love to see Kraftwerk and George Clinton on the same stage, playing one after another. That would be cool. I'm still looking out for something like this today.

Re: [313] p-funk / Derrick May
The second greatest set I ever heard was at a Boxing Night STRUTT party at the Cross Club in about 1993/4. None other than Derrick May. Just for whats it's worth, the best set of my life, I heard in the spring of 1994 also surprisingly at the same venue, same night - a certain mr r hawtin. - Original Message - From: Wes [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Samuel Hobbs [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 313@hyperreal.org Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 02:11 Subject: Re: [313] p-funk A couple of years ago Derrick May took a turn at The Wire's Invisible Jukebox.
