1971 Maggot Brain is and always will be a timeless piece of work, not only because it was fundamental in instilling the funk sound of the following decade, but also because it went much deeper than many of the bands other albums; we consider it to be the groups finest work, spanning psychedelic rock and soul like no other music of its time. Led by the incorrigible George Clinton, the Parliament sister band were capable of turning even the straightest of styles into something continuously provocative; the lead track "Maggot Brain" is a blissful assortment of Hendrix-style riffing and raw electronic manipulation and, while the rest of the album heads down comparatively straighter genre types, the band always retain their inimitable freakiness, a distorted glow of organs, fuzzed-out guitars, and gospel choirs. A classic of the highest order, and an album which should reside in any serious record collection.
