The stunning title track provides the ultimate vehicle for Funkadelic's late and great guitarist, Eddie Hazel. This moving ten-minute instrumental has Hazel playing through many peaks and valleys, wringing passion from his six-string, and leaving the listener drained by its conclusion. Another highlight is "You And Your Folks, Me and My Folks," a song about interracial relationships that is one of Funkadelic's most soulful tracks ever. Also included are the heavy metal thrasher "Super Stupid," the prime funk workout "Hit It And Quit It" (featuring the great Bernie Worrell on organ), and "Can You Get To That," one of the sunniest, most memorable funk-gospel-soul songs in the band's--or anyone's--catalogue. MAGGOT BRAIN is unquestionably one of rock and funk's all-time classics.
Funkadelic's masterpiece, a dark vision of what the future holds, articulated through George Clinton's slightly hazy vision and Eddie Hazel's astounding guitar work. This CD contains the original 7 track album from 1971 (remastered) plus 3 bonus tracks f
Jimi Hendrix's untimely death in September of 1970 left a gaping hole in the funk-rock genre. With 1971's MAGGOT BRAIN, Funkadelic showed that they were rightful heirs to Hendrix's throne. This is the album where, all at once, everything seems to come together for the legendary band. Most obviously, the songwriting is sharper and more focused. As on their previous releases, epic instrumental compositions dominate. But this time they are much more coherent and less reliant on studio trickery and psychedelic effects (with the exception of the album's closer, the instrumental freak-out "Wars of Armageddon").
Funkadelic: Eddie Hazel , Garry Shider, Tawl Ross (vocals, guitar); Bernie Worrell (vocals, keyboards); Clarence "Fuzzy" Haskins (vocals, drums); George Clinton , Grady Thomas, Raymond Davis, Calvin Simon (vocals); Billy "Bass" Nelson (bass instrument); Ramon Tiki Fulwood (drums).
Uncut (p.122) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[With] a title track that's a bare showcase for Eddie Hazel's 10-minute guitar solo of mournful commitment." Mojo (Publisher) (p.52) - Ranked #4 in Mojo's "The 50 Most Out There Albums Of All Time" - "The music, seismic and bold, melds fright-inducing lyrics with a transcendental backdrop."

authentic funk/rock IF you've ever imagined what it would be like to be in the front row of a Hendrix concert the title cut may be as close as you can get. If you've ever played air guitar to Clapton, Page or Vaughn this CD is without question "a must have". Eddie Hazel ranks up there with the best.

Revolutionary Even though I grew up Funkadelic, this IS Funkadelic. This album was limited by the l.p. format so 'Hit It & Quit It' and 'Back In Our Minds' are far too short. The two instrumentals (Maggot.../Wars...) are so mind altering even, now, almost 40 years later. 'Can You Get To That' was a slogan of the times, like "solid". "Revolution is a fad-funky person". Can you get to that? Submitted by St.Dvy (Windham, Me.) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Memories My fiance is a musician. Maggot Brain brings back memories as he being one of the first people to have it in his town when it first came out. He was very pleased when I presented it to him.
Thanks cd universe
