Description
Sorti en 1976, ‘Clones of Dr. Funkenstein ‘ va nourrir la discographie déjà bien fournie du patron du FUNK George Clinton. Toujours à l’avant-garde, le maître du genre s’entoure de la crème des musiciens et cet opus n’y dérogera pas.
De la basse Funky de Bootsy Collins aux cuivres millimétrés de Fred Wesley et de Macéo Parker cet album détient, comme d’autres avant lui, le secret d’un groove unique. Cette réédition s’inscrit dans l’univers Psyhco-Funk qui caractérisera l’ensemble de l’œuvre de la galaxie Clinton (P-Funk, Parliament, Funkadelic…).
