Funkentelechy Vs. The Placebo Syndrome

Released

As disco took over the world, Clinton and crew presented an alternative, uber-funky version of R’n’B derived music with what is probably Parliament’s finest moment. Contains their most well-known track, the untouchable funk exemplar Flashlight, the triple-layer Moog synth bass of which revolutionised dance and pop music. Funkentelechy… is confident, exciting, adventurous and playful in equal parts, utilising the very latest recording techniques and a peerless set of players to present a space-age sonic vision of the future. It also funks hard.
