ParliaMix...., December 16, 2001

...this is the original Casablanca Records production of P Funk's
greatest hits, it came before their Casablanca Records phabuloso
phunkay swansong "Trumpbibulation" (which is a no holds barred production I wish they'd bring back) and Funkadelic's "Electric Spanking of War Babies". You can probably find this in vinyl somewheres like Amazon's z-shops or [another internet retailer]. It is about an hour of wall to wall phunk. The cuts I don't care for are the newer cuts, "Aqua Boogie" and "Theme From the Black Hole", but one can see how they fit into the ParliaUniverse and the overall scheme of things. I call it Parliamix in that you can put the CD on and let it ride, no muss, no fuss, mo phunk. It is not spozed to be for the diehards out there, just the casual listener and the bootay shakers. A bit like music for your Momma, but with a wink, wink. For mine, the low keyed "Chocolate City" and "P-Funk" is worth the 12 dollar pricetag on this...sure there's many others collections out there. But you figure the average customer ain't pristine purists and over the top collectors--they are evvyday folks who want to just jam evvy now and then. This will help them fit the bill.

when this came out on Disc this was cool as a First Overview for a Greatest Hits COmpilation.it was a cool intro then as now."FlashLight","Chocolate City","Up FOr The Down Stroke",etc...for a Casual P-Funk Fan or New Fan this is a Cool Place to Ride on The MotherShip.but when you want more the Journey is Endless.

An excellent but incomplete compilation., January 18, 2000
Reviewer: A music fan
The order in which the songs are presented is what makes this one of the best Parliament compilations. It does a great job of showing how their music evolved from Up For The Downstroke to Gloryhallastoopid (Or Pin The Tail On The Funky). Unfortunately, it doesn't have any songs from Trombipulation and the liner notes leave a lot to be desired. This is what makes Best Of Parliament (Give Up The Funk) worth considering as an alternative. If this had Let's Play House after Theme From The Black Hole and more liner notes, complete with pictures, I would have given this five stars and called it a must have. Since it doesn't, I recommend comparing it to Best Of Parliament (Give Up The Funk) and making a personal decision on which one you want to get. They're both great PFunk compilations. Good luck.… (más)
