FU |","description":"\u003cp\u003eParliament: Garry Shider, Glen Goins (vocals, guitar); William \"Bootsy\" Collins (vocals, bass, drums); George Clinton, Calvin Simon, Fuzzy Haskins, Raymond Davis, Grady Thomas (vocals); Michael Hampton (guitar); Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, Rick Gardner, Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker (horns); Bernie Worrell (keyboards, synthesizers); Cordell Mosson (bass); Jerome Brailey, Gary \"Mudbone\" Cooper (drums, percussion); Debbie Edwards, Taka Kahn (background vocals).\n\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at United Sound, Detroit, Michigan \u0026amp; Hollywood Sound, Hollywood, California.\n\u003cbr\u003eFollowing closely on the heels of MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION, the group's undisputed high-water mark, THE CLONES OF DR. FUNKENSTEIN furthers George Clinton's conceptual and musical master plan to funkify the world. THE CLONES unravels the Funk Mob's cosmology and populates it with a cast of mythological characters that includes Starchild (introduced on MOTHERSHIP) and the Funk overlord himself, Dr. Funkenstein. By this album, Parliament have almost completely moved away from the guitar-dominated psychedelic soul of their early '70s output and entrenched themselves in the realm of lighter, horn and keyboard-driven experimental dance music.\n\u003cbr\u003eWhile weakened by over-conceptualization and Parliament's sometimes too-goofy sense of humor--qualities that would seriously mar the group's later output--this disc is nonetheless full of freaky, utterly original jam-formula compositions bolstered by outstanding musicianship. \"Do That Stuff\" and \"I've Been Watching You\" are highlights. Though old school P-Funk fans may see this record as Parliament's bid for the commercial mainstream, it is still impossible to deny the unique, exuberant music within.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2016-06-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: R\u0026amp;B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2016-06-24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Parliament","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45222221578355,"sku":"TABSDA-XG00-0Q","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/parliament-the-clones-of-dr-fu_ZMFl0.jpg?v=1783834072","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/parliament-the-clones-of-dr-fu","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
