It took me a while to get into it so maybe Martin will do the same IF he plays it again sometime.

x-post.
Dada theyre quite good albums. Kinda like mid period funkadelic.I'd recommend them to those who are very familiar with pfunk in general.
Have a read at the two reviews i posted the links to.

I def. prefer America Eats Its Young to Osmium. No "Silent Boatman" for one thing. Or bagpipes. But "Miss Lucifer's Love"! "I Call My Baby Pussycat"! Funkiest slide guitar ever on "Biological Speculation"! (which also has some of my favorite Funkadelic lyrics)

Silent Boatman is awesome. Maybe Dada and I get goosebumps with the bagpipes playing the skye boat song though ;)
Dada I could YSI you the O.G. Funk and Tal Ross (he calls himself tal not tawl now) albums if you like since i'm not sure if they're in print now.
Have you heard Sweatband and Quazar?

I shall be talking about AEIY on my blog in a few days time. I like it - in fact I think I prefer it to a lot of later P-Funk stuff, but I can see why it's not Martin's cup of tea.

Johnny 'Guitar' Watson - Ain't That a Bitch
I got this only a few weeks back. To explain, I remember John Peel playing a lot of JGW (if I may abbreviate) on his show and I always remember liking it, in spite of the fact that at that time I wouldn't have known what funk was if I'd tripped over it on the way to school in the morning. So I was delighted to eventually find a cheap JGW album but... a bit underwhelmed when I actually listened to it, boo! Not that it's bad, it just seems a lot less wild and wacky than I remembered - but, as this was his sort of breakthrough funk-era album, maybe the later ones are a bit more freaky?
This album is quite smooth and sedate and, the more you listen to it, the more and more like a blues album it sounds. Because there's not a band on it as such, it doesn't have a great feel - I think it's bass playing I find a bit pedestrian and Johnny's vocals don't have much of a range. The title track is a CLASSIC however - brilliant lyrics (Johnny knows computer programming and Japanese but still can't get a decent job). And, amazingly, Paul Dunmall played on this album!

Yes, I do realise that there won't have been many people losing sleep and lamenting this thread's disappearance...

omg this is def. one of the greatest things ever. totally blew me away the first time I heard it - beautiful the way it builds up and drops down and back up again, such a groove.
