@@aliyourbrother1all these guys were deep artists and geniuses. Thats the only reason youd do something like Funkadelic to begin with. It ties together all the different strings of the psychedelic and post psychedleic era seemlessly. It was a collective of Black Musicians from the south and also detroit who both understood where european art rock bands were going and also the deeper traditional elements of funk,blues,soul,and country and combined both with the hard rock american rock sound of that era as well as earlier psychedelic influence like Sly and The Family Stone,Jimi Hendrix,and Small Faces. I personally think they also influenced as well as inpsired elements from the german krautrock movement a couple years later but regardless they represented American Rock as well as Roots Blues and RnB to The European Progressive Rock Scene of The 70s woth great pride and I think every American should know who Funkadelic were. They proved that American Music in of itself was winde spanning and a true form of art. They proved that Art Rock could rock with roots as hard as any of the europeans could do it and that American Rock in of itself could be just as spiritual and deep as what the krautrockers were doing and they also held onto the more traditional elements from african American Music that they started in while also never letting go of the future. They have some country inspired shit i feel like too at times on songs like cant stand the strain. Its this amazing beautiful and extremely well thought out mix of musical influences which fills funkadelic out and the level of vision i think they had stands over just about everyone. They were true rock stars of the time they came about.

@dirigibility I was high off my ass haha. My dad loved this band growing up. Not sure why he's White and from The Pacific Northwest. Maybe that is why ig Canada sort of smelled like weed last time I was there. I think by "European Art Rock" I probably mostly went Bowie,Pink Floyd,T.Rex,Amon Düül ii,CAN,Group 1850 and Glam Era Eno. Better than whatever the fuck KISS were doing or Aerosmith though. Not RUSH or Ted Nudgent though tbh I like those.

It has been said this piece is "entirely an homage to Bach". For real: in a review of an academic paper by Ellen Exner called "Certifying J. S. Bach’s Interplanetary Funksmanship: George Clinton, Bernie Worrell, and P-Funk’s Baroque Aesthetic", it is written: [A] a survey of P-Funk’s works reveals that there are indeed [...] tracks that do overtly reference the style of [JS Bach]. One such is “Atmosphere” (Let’s Take it to the Stage, 1975), the music of which is entirely an homage to Bach. The infusion of Bachian and other “classical” textures into P-Funk’s eclectic blend was among the essential contributions of Clinton’s brilliant keyboardist, Bernard Worrell. The “Wizard of Woo,” as Worrell was sometimes known, brought an extraordinarily sophisticated level of musicianship to the band, having trained as a concert pianist at the Juilliard School and then the New England Conservatory. His virtuosic instrumental commentary, encyclopedic command of musical styles, contagious bass lines, and the signature extraterrestrial soundscape he created with his Moog synthesizer were indispensable to the group’s unique sonic identity. Exner's paper "marks the first scholarly exploration of P-Funk’s debt to Bach and by extension joins an ever-evolving discussion of how his music transcends generic boundaries. " From www.americanbachsociety.org/Newsletters/BachNotes28.pdf

@MLATX512 3 жыл бұрын

It is shocking to me that only through Bach could one recognize the immensely sophisticated level of musicianship in P-Funk. As if, had Bernie not chosen to pay homage to Bach, people who consider themselves music aficionados wouldn't have been able to recognize talent outside of their chosen genre. Bernie was far from the only person who exhibited an "extraordinarily sophisticated level of musicianship" in the band even if he was the main one to reference Bach.

@jsbrules 3 жыл бұрын

@@MLATX512 I believe you misunderstand what Exner wrote. There's nothing about recognizing P-Funk's musicianship "only through Bach" there! Bernie did bring HIS sophisticated musicianship to join with the different yet also sophisticated musicianships of others. Just like I can "bring my sense of humor" to my family dinner table without implying that nobody else in my family has a sense of humor. Exner also wrote that George Clinton, in his 2014 memoir, "specifically identified the contrapuntal style of J. S. Bach as an important musical influence while discussing composition of the track “Nappy Dugout” (Funkadelic, Cosmic Slop, 1973)" So maybe you should take your concerns up with George Clinton?! P.S. I am sure most of us who have loved Parliament/Funkadelic came to it with absolutely no idea that any of them were "into" Bach. It's not important, it doesn't make P-Funk any more legit, it's just a fun thing about music and musicians. Categories are not so important. But I do know for a fact that Bach never wrote anything like these lyrics, about pussies, clits and dicks.

@martinbjrnersen4202 2 жыл бұрын

As far as "recognizing the immensly sophisticated level of musicianship in P-Funk" through Bach - for me it was sort of the other way around. This song SPECIFICALLY was how i gradually got into the music of Bach. I was vaguely familiar with it before, as most of us might be, enough to recognize this song as a Bach pastiche. And for me it was Bernies interpretation that made me realize there was a .. funk and a beauty in the works of Bach that was worth investigating more thoroughly. I once told this story to an internationally acclaimed classical musician (who I was interviewing for the release of his "Goldberg Variations") - the response was pretty wide eyed (though not really in a dismissive way)
