Comment:

Soul's old myths, like the sacred train to Jordan, seemed as out of date as zoot suits and conked hair, so funk's finest invented their own. A jumble of pharaohs, pyramids, and Nubian queens materialized, colliding with space-age, galaxy-traveling motherships in a mind-blowing flash of retro-future mysticism. Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" preaches a boogie-filled prophecy of reincarnation over a wah-wah-washed keyboard, promising "it won't be too long," while Billy Preston doesn't even [i]need[/i] lyrics to rocket into "Outa-Space," its groove as fat as a side of bacon. And the newly created Star Child of Parliament's "Mothership Connection" — think Moses with an Afro — guides his flock out of Babylon to the Chocolate Milky Way, shaking his [i]badonkadonk[/i] intergalactic-style. And there's more where these came from, as cosmic funkateers from Sun Ra and Andy Bey to Buckethead tripped their way through inner — and outer — space.
