{"product_id":"parliament-the-clones-of-dr-fu","title":"THE CLONES OF DR. FU","description":"Parliament: Garry Shider, Glen Goins (vocals, guitar); William \"Bootsy\" Collins (vocals, bass, drums); George Clinton, Calvin Simon, Fuzzy Haskins, Raymond Davis, Grady Thomas (vocals); Michael Hampton (guitar); Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, Rick Gardner, Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker (horns); Bernie Worrell (keyboards, synthesizers); Cordell Mosson (bass); Jerome Brailey, Gary \"Mudbone\" Cooper (drums, percussion); Debbie Edwards, Taka Kahn (background vocals).\nRecorded at United Sound, Detroit, Michigan \u0026amp; Hollywood Sound, Hollywood, California.\nFollowing closely on the heels of MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION, the group's undisputed high-water mark, THE CLONES OF DR. FUNKENSTEIN furthers George Clinton's conceptual and musical master plan to funkify the world. THE CLONES unravels the Funk Mob's cosmology and populates it with a cast of mythological characters that includes Starchild (introduced on MOTHERSHIP) and the Funk overlord himself, Dr. Funkenstein. By this album, Parliament have almost completely moved away from the guitar-dominated psychedelic soul of their early '70s output and entrenched themselves in the realm of lighter, horn and keyboard-driven experimental dance music.\nWhile weakened by over-conceptualization and Parliament's sometimes too-goofy sense of humor--qualities that would seriously mar the group's later output--this disc is nonetheless full of freaky, utterly original jam-formula compositions bolstered by outstanding musicianship. \"Do That Stuff\" and \"I've Been Watching You\" are highlights. Though old school P-Funk fans may see this record as Parliament's bid for the commercial mainstream, it is still impossible to deny the unique, exuberant music within.","brand":"Parliament","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44598802809065,"sku":"9AEQ7Y-2E03-00","price":36.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/parliament-the-clones-of-dr-fu_pkqe9.jpg?v=1759271995","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/parliament-the-clones-of-dr-fu","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
