The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein

Released

The playful but edgy Clones Of Dr. Funkenstein is smooth, laid-back P-Funk with musical polymath Bernie Worrell’s soaring arrangements resulting in perhaps the best ever sounding P-Funk horn section. It’s less intense and chaotic than much of the P-Funk musical universe and with its single ballad is essentially just a series of juicy, celebratory, soulful funk grooves. With reduced weirdness and experimentation, it’s an extremely accessible album, a party pretty much from start to finish.
