I think it was Jombolya (sp) that posted it in his "what are some essential 1974 albums". I've since "rediscovered" it. It's that type of record you nonchalantly put on your record player, chill on your comp. and then look back at your speakers like "yea yea yea...this is some good shit". well anyway, i appreciate this music here:

Can't hate. Though it's best the way your describeing. Just background funk when your doing something else. I sold my copy cuz the CD was good enough for me. I listen to the other P-Funk stuff a lot more.
There's a TV commercial/advert for this album that is hilarious. Basically, Clinton is dancing with his radio, in the outfit you see on the cover, to the title track, while various people get down with him. It actually looks very similar to where the back cover for Mothership Connection[/b] was shot. The first time I saw it, I couldn't stop laughing.
The goose that laid the golden egg
