One Nation Under a Groove

Funkadelic

Released

1978

The gold “One Nation Under A Groove” single with its irresistible synth bass and clap rhythm track gave Clinton and Co huge crossover success, and the accompanying album was a triumph too. Constructed of layers upon layers of complex interlocking musical parts, it’s an album with lots of R’n’B-derived futurist funk played with consummate skill, a few nods to their acid-rock heritage and some songs that simply defy categorisation. As rich and inventive as ever and perhaps Funkadelic’s most fully realised album.
