Prince, właśc. Prince Rogers Nelson (ur. 7 czerwca 1958 w Minneapolis, zm. 21 kwietnia 2016 w Chanhassen) – amerykański muzyk, piosenkarz, kompozytor i autor tekstów, przedstawiciel wielu stylów, w tym R&B, funk, jazz, soul, rock, disco i pop.

Należał do najbardziej nowatorskich i ekscentrycznych postaci na amerykańskiej scenie popowej i rockowej. Nazywany „Księciem Popu”, wpłynął znacząco na rozwój muzyki rozrywkowej i był jedną z głównych postaci sceny muzycznej, zwłaszcza w latach 90. XX wieku. Był postrzegany jako jedna z najbardziej kontrowersyjnych postaci sceny muzycznej. Jego zachowanie na scenie i ubiór początkowo były uważane za obsceniczne. Uznawany przez prasę także za symbol seksu i artystę, który ukształtował swoją karierę, często walcząc z przyjętymi praktykami muzycznymi. Był uważany za wirtuoza gitary elektrycznej, grał także na instrumentach klawiszowych i perkusyjnych.

Od swojego debiutu w 1978 wydał ponad 40 albumów, które szacunkowo rozeszły się w ponad 100 mln egzemplarzy na świecie. Za sprzedaż albumów w USA otrzymał jedną diamentową płytę, jedną poczwórnie platynową, sześć podwójnie platynowych, siedem platynowych i osiem złotych. Do jego największych przebojów należą: „Little Red Corvette”, „When Doves Cry”, „Let’s Go Crazy”, „Purple Rain”, „Raspberry Beret”, „Kiss”, „U Got the Look”, „Batdance”, „Cream” i „The Most Beautiful Girl in the World”.

Poza działalnością solową współpracował także z innymi artystami. Występował na scenie m.in. z Eryką Badu, Alicią Keys czy Steviem Wonderem. Był producentem albumu Like a Prayer (1989) Madonny oraz współpracował przy tworzeniu płyty Kate Bush pt. The Red Shoes (1993). W swoich repertuarach utwory autorstwa Prince’a mieli m.in. Tom Jones oraz Sinéad O’Connor („Nothing Compares 2 U”).

Zdobył siedem nagród Grammy, a w 2004 został włączony do Galerii Sław Rock&Rolla. Zajmował się także produkcją muzyczną i aranżacją swoich utworów.

Urodził się w Minneapolis, w stanie Minnesota, w rodzinie afroamerykańskiej z Luizjany. jako syn Mattie Shaw, piosenkarki jazzowej i pracownika opieki społecznej, oraz Johna L. Nelsona (zm. w sierpniu 2001), autora tekstów piosenek i pianisty. Jego matka była Amerykanką włoskiego pochodzenia, a ojciec czarnoskórym muzykiem jazzowym, grającym na fortepianie w trio The Prince Rogers Band. Prince miał siostrę Tikę Evene oraz przyrodnie rodzeństwo: brata, Duana Nelsona i siostrę Sharon.

Zafascynowany jednym z koncertów ojca, na który wybrał się z matką, gdy miał sześć lat, także postanowił związać życie z muzyką. Podjął samodzielną naukę gry na fortepianie, a w wieku siedmiu lat skomponował swój pierwszy utwór – „Funkmachine”. Ojciec miał pewien wpływ na przyszłą twórczość Prince’a, który w swoich piosenkach wykorzystywał używane przez niego sekwencje akordów, a w kilku utworach Amerykańskie Stowarzyszenie Kompozytorów, Autorów i Wydawców uznaje go za ich współautora. Jednocześnie ojciec nadużywał przemocy fizycznej wobec syna, co ten potwierdził m.in. w dokumencie Purpurowy deszcz oraz piosence „Papa”.

Rodzice Prince’a rozwiedli się w 1968, a jego matka wkrótce ponownie wyszła za mąż. Niespokojne relacje Prince’a ojczymem, Haywardem Bakerem, doprowadziły do ucieczki chłopaka z domu. Pomieszkiwał u ojca, później u ciotki, Olivii Nelson, ostatecznie wprowadził się do szkolnego przyjaciela, Andrégo Andersona. Uczył się w gimnazjum Bryanta i liceum Centrum High. W tym okresie był prześladowany przez rówieśników ze względu na charakterystyczny sposób ubierania się oraz nieśmiałość.

Prince był samoukiem: w młodości samodzielnie opanował grę na fortepianie, gitarze i perkusji. Wraz z André Andersonem i Charlesem Smithem w wieku 14 lat założył zespół Grand Central, przemianowym później na Grand Central Corporation, a następnie na Champagne. Brali udział w sesji nagraniowej w studiu Moonsound Chrisa Moona, który wkrótce zaproponował Prince’owi solową współpracę, obejmującą skomponowanie melodii do jego tekstów. W 1976, nagrawszy pierwsze muzyczne demo, odrzucił ofertę nowojorskiej wytwórni Tiffany Entertainment, która zaproponowała mu przeniesienie na firmę praw do jego pierwszych autorskich piosenek – „Baby”, „Soft & Wet”, „Love Is Forever” i „Aces”.

Po powrocie do Minneapolis nawiązał współpracę z Owenem Husneyem z The Ad Company, który wkrótce powołał do życia firmę American Artists Inc, zajmującą się opieką artystyczną nad Prince’em. W grudniu 1976 rozpoczął nagrania kolejnego, solowego demo w studiu Sound 80. Ponadto do 1978 pracował jako muzyk sesyjny z zespołem 94 East, którego nie był jednak oficjalnym członkiem.

W czerwcu 1977 podpisał kontrakt z Warner Bros., a trzy miesiące później rozpoczął nagrania debiutanckiej płyty w studiu Sound 80 w Minneapolis oraz Record Plant w Sausalito. 7 kwietnia 1978 wydał album pt. For You, na który sam skomponował, zaaranżował i wyprodukował właściwie cały materiał, mimo że do nagrania użyto 23 instrumentów. Pierwszy singiel, „Soft & Wet”, który wydał 7 czerwca 1978, trafił na 12. miejsce Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs i został po latach wykorzystany w scenie dreszczowca M. Nighta Shyamalana Niezniszczalny (2000) z Robin Wright i Bruce’em Willisem. Sam album dotarł do 21. miejsca billoardowej listy Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. W ramach promocji albumu Prince odbył krótką trasę promocyjną po Karolinie Północnej.

Latem 1978 skompletował swój zespół koncertowy, z którym zadebiutował na scenie 5 stycznia 1979 w Capri Theater w Minneapolis. W tym okresie nowym menedżerem Prince’a został Steve Fargnoli. Od kwietnia do maja pracował w studiu Alpha Studio w Los Angeles nad materiałem na swój drugi album. Przy nagraniu płyty, zatytułowanej po prostu Prince, pomógł mu dodatkowy zespół muzyków, co okazało się dobrym pomysłem zarówno pod względem muzycznym, jak i komercyjnym. Album ukazał się 19 października 1979 i dotarł do trzeciego miejsca listy Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Za sprzedaż wydawnictwa uzyskał status platynowej płyty. Album promował dwoma singlami: „I Wanna Be Your Lover” i „Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?”, które stały się przebojami i były wysoko plasowane na listach przebojów. Jednocześnie pracował nad pobocznym projektem – rockowym zespołem The Rebels, jednak szybko zawiesił pracę ze względu na niezadowolenie z jakości nagranych dziewięciu piosenek. Wkrótce po wydaniu płyty Prince wyruszył w trasę koncertową, m.in. lutym 1980 występował jako support przed koncertami Ricka Jamesa w ramach jego trasy pt. „Fire It Up”.

W 2006 przy wsparciu wytwórni Universal wydał album pt. 3121, z którym dotarł do pierwszego miejsca listy Billboard 200. Płytę promował singlem „Te amo corazón” oraz występami w programach telewizyjnych, m.in. na gali rozdania Brit Awards 2006. Album uzyskał głównie pozytywne recenzje oraz osiągnął duży sukces komercyjny, debiutując na pierwszym miejscu na liście Billboard 200 z wynikiem 183 tys. sprzedanych egzemplarzy płyt w pierwszym tygodniu po premierze. Również w 2006 premierę miała piosenka „Song of the Heart”, którą napisał na potrzeby ścieżki dźwiękowej do filmu animowanego Happy Feet: Tupot małych stóp. Utwór przyniósł mu Złoty Glob za najlepszą piosenkę. Oprócz tego 12 czerwca 2006 otrzymał Webby Award za całokształt dokonań. W sezonie 2006–2007 odbył serię koncertów pod hasłem „3121 Jazz Cuisine” w Las Vegas. 2 lutego 2007 wystąpił w przerwie meczu Super Bowl XLI, prezentując 12-minutową mieszankę swoich przebojów; minikoncert zebrał wiele pochwalnych recenzji. W lipcu wypuścił na rynek linię perfum 3121 oraz wydał album pt. Planet Earth, który ukazał się jako bezpłatny dodatek do niedzielnego wydania brytyjskiego dziennika „Mail on Monday”. W ramach promocji płyty zagrał cieszącą się dużym zainteresowaniem serię 21 koncertów pod hasłem „21 Nights in London” w hali O2 Arena w Londynie. 8 listopada wypuścił cyfrowo utwór „PFUnk” (później przemianowany na „F.U.N.K.”, będący jego odpowiedzią na zawarcie się fanowskiej koalicji „Prince Fans United”, która sprzeciwiała się działaniom artysty wobec prób blokowania wszelkiej działalności jego wielbicieli w sieci, w tym m.in. udostępniania amatorskich zdjęć i nagrań z jego koncertów na forach i dedykowanych muzykowi stronach intetnetowych. W grudniu 2007 podobno zagrał koncert na prywatnym przyjęciu urodzinowym przedsiębiorcy Jeffreya Soffera, za co miał zainkasować 2 mln dol.

W pierwszych miesiącach 2008 występował gościnnie wraz z zespołem Blind Boys Of Alabama i grał kameralne koncerty w klubach „77” i „The Green Door”. 25 kwietnia 2008 w programie Tonight Show with Jay Leno zaśpiewał premierowy utwór „Turn Me Loose”, a dzień później zagrał koncert na Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, za co miał zarobić 4,8 mln dol.. We wrześniu premierę miała książka pt. 21 Nights, która dokumentowała trasę w O2 Arenie na zdjęciach autorstwa Randee St. Nicholas oraz zawierała dodatkową płytę pt. Indigo Nights z zarejestrowanymi występami Prince’a w sali IndigO2, które dawał po koncertach w O2 Arenie. 17 grudnia 2008 na antenie radia Indie 103 zaprezentował single „Crimson & Clover”, „Colonized Mind” i „Wall of Berlin”, zapowiadającego premierę jego trzypłytowego zestawu – LotusFlow3r/MPLSound/Elixer, który ukazał się na początku 2009 i był dystrybuowany w USA przez ogólnokrajową sieć sklepów Target. Album Lotus Flow3r zadebiutował na drugim miejscu na liście Billboard 200. 24 marca 2009 otworzył nową stronę internetową lotusflow3r.com, którą promował najnowsze wydawnictwo. W ramach promocji albumu zagrał trzy koncerty w Live Nokia Center w Los Angeles, 18 lipca wystąpił na festiwalu Montreux Jazz, 11 października zagrał dwa koncerty w Grand Palais w Paryżu, a 24 października wystąpił w swoim studiu Paisley Park w ramach akcji charytatywnej „Love 4 One Another”. W styczniu 2010 wypuścił utwór „Purple and Gold”, który napisał z myślą o drużynie Minnesota Vikings. Miesiąc później wypuścił utwór „Cause and Effect”, a jego premiera zbiegła się z zawarciem pozasądowej ugody z firmą Promoters MCD, która pozwała artystę za odwołanie koncertu na stadionie Dublin’s Croke Park na 10 dni przed wydarzeniem. W czerwcu wydał utwór „Hot Summer” oraz odebrał nagrodę za całokształt twórczości na gali Black Entertainment Television. Miesiąc później wydał album pt. 20Ten, który był dołączany jako darmowy dodatek do wybranych europejskich gazet. W ramach promocji płyty odbył minitrasę koncertową, obejmującą osiem występów w Europie.

19 kwietnia 2018 niewydane wcześniej oryginalne nagranie „Nothing Compares 2 U” z 1984 zostało wydane jako singiel przez Warner Bros. Records.

Najdłużej współpracował z grupami The Revolution oraz The New Power Generation (występującą także pod nazwą NPG Orchestra), ale także z solowymi artystami, takimi jak m.in.: Stevie Nicks, Madonna, Alicia Keys, Erykah Badu, Nikka Costa, George Clinton, Chaka Khan, Candy Dulfer, Larry Graham i Stevie Wonder.

Na początku lat 80. stworzył zespół The Time, którego wszystkie cztery płyty – The Time (1981), What Time Is It? (1982), Ice Cream Castle (1984) i Pandemonium (1990), weszły do notowań list przebojów. W 1982 na rynku zadebiutował jego kolejny zespół – girlsband Vanity 6, który po zmianach personalnych wynikających z odejścia Vanity został przemianowany w Apollonia 6. Tworząc utwory dla zespołów, posługiwał się pseudonimem Jamie Starr. W 1983 uformował zespół The Family, dla którego napisał m.in. utwór „Nothing Compares 2 U”, a dwa lata później – grupę The Flesh, która nagrała kilka piosenek, w tym m.in. „Junk Music”, wykorzystaną w ścieżce dźwiękowej do Zakazanej miłości. Na przełomie 1986 i 1987 stworzył jazzowo-funkowy zespół Madhouse, który występował przed nim jako support na koncertach i który w 1986 wydał dwa albumy: 8 i 16. Wylansował także piosenkarkę Carmen Electrę.

W 1985 założył własną wytwórnię muzyczną – Paisley Park Records, którą w latach 90. przemianował na NPG Records (New Power Generation).

Prince pisał też piosenki dla innych artystów, takich jak m.in. Sheila E., Sheena Easton oraz grupy The Bangles. Covery piosenek Prince’a znalazły się w repertuarze m.in. Chaki Khan, Toma Jonesa, The Art of Noise, Sinéad O’Connor oraz Milesa Davisa.

W dzieciństwie był zafascynowany muzyką Jamesa Browna, poza tym – dzięki lokalnej rozgłośni radiowej KUXL – miał możliwość poznania twórczości białych wykonawców funkowych i soulowych. Na początku kariery często określany był mianem „następcy Steviego Wondera”. Tworzył pod inspiracją muzyki Jimiego Hendrixa. W latach 80. zafascynował się także jazzową twórczością Milesa Davisa.

Na pierwszym albumie For You umieścił piosenki głównie w stylu R&B, nagrane z wykorzystaniem m.in. syntezatorów i zaśpiewane wysokimi dźwiękami. Na płycie Prince znalazło się więcej rockowych brzmień. Kolejne dwa albumy – Dirty Mind i Controversy – zawierały brzmienia nowofalowe i funkowe, a także ballady. Płyta Purple Rain zawierała nastrojowe ballady oraz szybkie utwory taneczne, a teksty piosenek były znacznie ugrzecznione w porównaniu z materiałem z poprzednich albumów. Albumem Around the World in a Day zwrócił się ku psychodelicznym brzmieniom i muzyce rockowej lat 60., a krytycy zauważali w utworach wyraźne inspiracje twórczością zespołu The Beatles, czemu sam Prince zaprzeczał. Na płycie Parade słychać wpływ inspiracji jazzem, ponadto podczas nagrywania albumu Prince zrezygnował z syntezatorów na rzecz dźwięków prawdziwej perkusji i instrumentów dętych. Od czasu pracy nad tym albumem komunikował się z pozostałymi twórcami wyłącznie mailowo, rezygnując ze spotkań z nimi w studiu nagrań. Płytę Sign ’O’ the Times zdominowały brzmienia funkowe. Wydawnictwem The Black Album włączył do swojej muzyki więcej elementów funku i R&B. Piosenki z płyty Lovesexy miały charakter klubowy. Album Diamonds and Pearls został utrzymany w stylu R&B-owo–popowym, zawierał także elementy reggae, hip-hopu, rocka, funku, jazzu i muzyki tanecznej. Na krążku Emancipation powrócił do muzyki R&B oraz po raz pierwszy w karierze umieścił covery piosenek innych artystów (m.in. „One of Us” Joan Osbourne). Na epce 1999: The New Master umieścił materiał dance’owo-hip-hopowy. Krążek One Nite Alone… zawiera piosenki w akustycznej, fortepianowej odsłonie. Na albumach Musicology i 3121 ponownie zaprezentował się w mieszance styli, od funku po rock i jazz. Brzmienia funk i disco oraz ballady umieścił także na kolejnej płycie – Planet Earth. Na albumie LotusFlow3r zaprezentował materiał z instrumentalnym jazzem, a wydana w tym samym czasie płyta MPLSound zawierała piosenki utrzymane w stylu elektro-funk.

Spotykał się z piosenkarkami: Vanity, Susan Moonsie, Jill Jones i Susannah Melvoin, której – zgodnie z doniesieniami prasy – miał oświadczyć się w sierpniu 1985. W trakcie trwania związku z Melvoin miał romans z aktorką Kristin Scott Thomas, o której napisał utwór „Better with Time”. Na przełomie 1989 i 1990 spotykał się z aktorką Kim Basinger, która zaśpiewała w piosence „Scandalous” ze ścieżki dźwiękowej do Batmana. 14 lutego 1996 poślubił Mayte Jannell Garcię, która w wieku 17 lat dołączyła do jego zespołu jako tancerka. Mieli syna Boya Gregory’ego (ur. 16 października 1996, zm. w październiku 1996 na zespół Pfeiffera). W maju 2000 małżeństwo zostało anulowane. 31 grudnia 2001 poślubił Manuelę Testolini. 24 maja 2006 złożyła wniosek o rozwód. W 2007 spotykał się z projektantką mody Chelsea Rodgers oraz siostrami-bliźniaczkami: Mayą i Nandy McClean, które były tancerkami w jego zespole.

Prasa często spekulowała wokół orientacji seksualnej Prince’a, który w swoich piosenkach prowokacyjnie śpiewał: „Nie jestem kobietą, nie jestem mężczyzną / Jestem czymś, czego nigdy nie zrozumiesz” („I’m not a woman, I’m not a man / I am something that you’ll never understand”).

The Cranberries
Everybody Else Is Doing It,
So Why Can't We? (1993)
FLAC LOSSLESS 24bit-96kHz

allmusic.com...

Title aside, what the Cranberries were doing wasn't that common at the time, at least in mainstream pop terms; grunge and G-funk had done their respective big splashes via Nirvana and Dr. Dre when Everybody came out first in the U.K. and then in America some months later. Lead guitarist Noel Hogan is in many ways the true center of the band at this point, co-writing all but three songs with O'Riordan and showing an amazing economy in his playing, and having longtime Smiths/Morrissey producer Stephen Street behind the boards meant that the right blend of projection and delicacy still held sway. One can tell he likes Johnny Marr and his ability to do the job just right: check out the quick strums and blasts on "Pretty" or the concluding part of the lovely "Waltzing Back." O'Riordan herself offers up a number of romantic ponderings and considerations lyrically (as well as playing perfectly fine acoustic guitar), and her undisputed vocal ability suits the material perfectly. The two best cuts were the deserved smashes: "Dreams," a brisk, charging number combining low-key tension and full-on rock, and the melancholic, string-swept break-up song "Linger." If Everybody is in the end a derivative pleasure -- and O'Riordan's vocal acrobatics would never again be so relatively calm in comparison -- a pleasure it remains nonetheless, the work of a young band creating a fine little synthesis.

War
Greatest Hits (1976)
FLAC LOSSLESS 24bit-96kHz
PBTHAL Vinyl Rip


allmusic.com...

L.A. band who backed Animals frontman Eric Burdon before popularizing their fusion of funk, R&B, rock, and Latin music in the 1970s. One of the most popular funk groups of the '70s, War were also one of the most eclectic, freely melding soul, Latin, jazz, blues, reggae, and rock influences into an effortlessly funky whole. Although War's lyrics were sometimes political in nature (in keeping with their racially integrated lineup), their music almost always had a sunny, laid-back vibe emblematic of their Southern California roots. War kept the groove loose, and they were given over to extended jamming; in fact, many of their studio songs were edited together out of longer improvisations. Even if the jams sometimes got indulgent, they demonstrated War's truly group-minded approach: no one soloist or vocalist really stood above the others (even though all were clearly talented), and their grooving interplay placed War in the top echelon of funk ensembles.

Album Info

Crimson presents Heat wave 'Gold', the only Heat wave compilation you'll ever need. Heat wave are a British funk and disco band formed in 1975. The group arrived on the scene with their debut album 'too Hot too handle' In 1976. The album featured heatwave's first hit single 'boogie nights' Which charted at #2 in both the US and UK and was the first in a string of hit Records for the group. Heatwave's influential funk-disco sound led to member Rod temperton working on tracks for Michael Jackson's 'off the wall' Album and later writing the iconic 'thriller'. This new compilation features tracks from across heatwave's career including all of the hit singles and a third CD of disco mixes. Cd 1 kicks things off with the band's mid-'70s classics including the smash hit 'boogie nights', 'ain't no half Steppin'', and 'always and Forever' Which went on to be covered by numerous artists including Luther Vandross, whistle, and Johnny Mathis. Cd 2 covers the group's later hits including UK Top twenty single 'gangsters of the groove' And 'jitterbugging''. Cd 3 rounds off this new compilation with a collection of some of heatwave's finest disco mixes. Highlights include a selection of Mike maurro remixes plus a variety of 12" Mixes.

Grand Funk
We're An American Band (1973)
FLAC LOSSLESS 24bit-96kHz
PBTHAL Vinyl


allmusic.com...

Having made several changes in their business and musical efforts in 1972, Grand Funk Railroad made even more extensive ones in 1973, beginning with their name, which was officially truncated to "Grand Funk." And keyboardist Craig Frost, credited as a sideman on Phoenix, the previous album, was now a full-fledged bandmember, filling out the musical arrangements. The most notable change, however, came with the hiring of Todd Rundgren to produce the band's eighth album. Rundgren, a pop/rock artist in his own right, was also known for his producing abilities, and he gave Grand Funk exactly what they were looking for: We're an American Band sounded nothing like its muddy, plodding predecessors. Sonically, the record was sharp and detailed and the band's playing was far tighter and more accomplished. Most important, someone, whether the band or Rundgren, decided that gruff-voiced drummer Don Brewer should be employed as a lead singer as often as guitarist Mark Farner. Brewer also contributed more as a songwriter, and the results were immediate. The album's title song, an autobiographical account of life on the road written and sung by Brewer, was released in advance of the album and became a gold-selling number one hit, Grand Funk's first really successful single. Despite the band's previous popularity, for many, it must have been the first Grand Funk record they either heard or bought. Elsewhere on the album, Farner contributed his usual wailing vocals and guitar, singing of his heartfelt, if simpleminded, political concerns. But We're an American Band really belonged to Brewer and Rundgren, and its success constituted a redefinition of Grand Funk that came just in time.

Parliament
Mothership Connection (1975)
FLAC LOSSLESS 24bit-96kHz
PBTHAL Vinyl


allmusic.com...

The definitive Parliament-Funkadelic album, Mothership Connection is where George Clinton's revolving band lineups, differing musical approaches, and increasingly thematic album statements reached an ideal state, one that resulted in enormous commercial success as well as a timeless legacy that would be compounded by hip-hop postmodernists, most memorably Dr. Dre on his landmark album The Chronic (1992). The musical lineup assembled for Mothership Connection is peerless: in addition to keyboard wizard Bernie Worrell; Bootsy Collins, who plays not only bass but also drums and guitar; the guitar trio of Gary Shider, Michael Hampton, and Glen Goins; and the Brecker Brothers (Michael and Randy) on horns; there are former J.B.'s Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker (also on horns), who were the latest additions to the P-Funk stable. Besides the dazzling array of musicians, Mothership Connection boasts a trio of hands-down classics -- "P-Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)," "Mothership Connection (Star Child)," "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)" -- that are among the best to ever arise from the funk era, each sampled and interpolated time and time again by rap producers; in particular, Dr. Dre pays homage to the former two on The Chronic (on "The Roach" and "Let Me Ride," respectively). The remaining four songs on Mothership Connection are all great also, if less canonical. Lastly, there's the overlapping outer-space theme, which ties the album together into a loose escapist narrative. There's no better starting point in the enormous P-Funk catalog than Mothership Connection, which, like its trio of classic songs, is undoubtedly among the best of the funk era.

Funkadelic
Maggot Brain (1971)
FLAC LOSSLESS 24bit-96kHz
PBTHAL Vinyl


allmusic.com...

It starts with a crackle of feedback shooting from speaker to speaker and a voice intoning, "Mother Earth is pregnant for the third time, for y'all have knocked her up" and talking about rising "above it all or drown in my own sh*t." This could only have been utterly bizarre back in 1971 and it's no less so decades later; though the Mothership was well on its way already, Maggot Brain really helped it take off. The instrumental title track is the key reason to listen, specifically for Eddie Hazel's lengthy, mind-melting solo. George Clinton famously told Hazel to play "like your momma had just died," and the resulting evocation of melancholy and sorrow doesn't merely rival Jimi Hendrix's work, but arguably bests a lot of it. Accompanied by another softer guitar figure providing gentle rhythm for the piece, the end result is simply fantastic, an emotional apocalypse of sound. Maggot Brain is bookended by another long number, "Wars of Armageddon," a full-on jam from the band looping in freedom chants and airport-departure announcements to the freak-out. In between are a number of short pieces, finding the collective merrily cooking up some funky stew of the slow and smoky variety. There are folky blues and gospel testifying on "Can You Get to That" (one listen and a lot of Primal Scream's mid-'90s career is instantly explained) and wry but warm reflections on interracial love on "You and Your Folks, Me and My Folks," its drum hits distorted to give a weird electronic edge to the results. "Super Stupid" is a particular killer, pounding drums and snarling guitar laying down the boogie hard and hot, while "Hit It and Quit It" has a great chorus and Bernie Worrell getting in a fun keyboard solo to boot.

James Brown
20 All Time Greatest Hits! (1991)


allmusic.com...

The best showman and one of the most influential singers of the 20th century, who transformed R&B into funk with his tight, driving style. While Brown's 30-track, 40-track, and even 50-track collections are excellent choices as well, this fine hits package is the best one for Brown neophytes looking for a way in. Covering his prime stretch from the late '50s through the early '70s, 20 All-Time Greatest Hits! includes early R&B milestones ("Please, Please, Please"), epochal '60s sides ("Papa's Got a Brand New Bag, Pt. 1"), and latter-day funk classics ("Papa Don't Take No Mess, Pt. 1"). And that's not to mention such perennials as "Mother Popcorn," "Hot Pants," "Cold Sweat," and "Think." Start your Brown obsession here.
