Funkentelechy (Where'd You Get That Funk From) (20:32)
Review: If you've ever had the privilege to witness George Clinton & The P Funk Allstars live, you know they bring it, each and every time. After all, the magic of Parliament and Funkadelic's imperious catalogue lies in that in-the-room, jammed out madness where anything could happen at any moment, which translates to the stage so beautifully. This collection pulls together some of the choicest live cuts from recent times, as stone-cold classics like 'Let's Take It To The Stage' and 'Cosmic Slop' collide with 'Atomic Dog' and 'Funkentelechy'. Of course the tracks take on whole new dimensions in the live setting, stretched out and freaked up even more than in their original form, making this a must-grab for any P funk devotee.

Review: Trading Places have blown the dust off a wondrous curio this time, bringing our attention onto the uniquely slanted acid prog psychedelia of Jade Warrior. The project came from percussionist and flautist Jon Field, who had previously worked with Mike Oldfield's producer and in cult psych outfit July, and bassist Glyn Havard. The pair might not have garnered that much attention for their work back in the day, but it was a thing of rare beauty, fusing acoustic passages with searing rock-outs and percussion from other cultures to usurp the dominance of the Western drum kit. It's a record full of surprises, and it sounds in great shape on this impeccable reissue.
Review: Percussionist James Mtume, also a member of the radical black nationalist US Organisation, was a known proponent of the Kawaida philosophy, which promoted collective creativity rooted in pan-African and socialist principles. In December 1969, with his uncle Albert and father Jimmy Heath involved, Mtume recorded this powerful narrative modal jazz opera, with Don Cherry, Herbie Hancock, Ed Blackwell, and Buster Williams kept in sessional tow. An intense, rhythmanalytic masterpiece, every musician is given their own time in the auditory spotlight here, helping broach a fresh, mulitplicitous sound for the late 60s. 'Kamili' and 'Maulaina' are special pieces, intoxicating the ears with the scented feel of emotional gasoline: modal and Afrocentric jazz globes collide on this dustily remastered record, bringing seismic, voggy eruptions of spirit.
Review: Made up of five former members of English mod band The Action, Mighty Baby - Alan King, Martin Stone, Ian Whiteman, et al. - later went on to explore the festival circuit a hell of a lot more, in the process fleshing out their proggier bent, far higher on the pH scale than releases under the former name. In the wake of several members' introduction to Sufism, the band took a spiritual turn, and this rare recording from Glastonbury 1971 is a delicious highlight of that era, in turn an offshoot of the compilation album of the same name. Now reissued after being sifted from an original stash of tapes, Trading Places have successfully reignited the memory of this hitherto unsung project.
Review: Toronto-to-LA starlet Elyse Weinberg's debut Elyse achieved only moderate success, reaching number 31 on the ole Billboard. Her second album, now reissued via Trading Places, was never officially released due to the collapse of Tetragrammaton Records, clinching the anticlimactic career of a genius (may we add that the highest heights worth climbing aren't the most visible). This lost album, arguably the most cohesive of her entire catalogue, sported a stellar lineup, with JD Souther on drums, Kenny Edwards on bass, and Nils Lofgren on guitar. Neil Young made a precious appearance on the standout track 'Houses', perhaps helping award the song its later covering by a seemingly never-ending daisy chain of contemporary folk-psych greats: Dinosaur Jr, Vetiver, Courtney Barnett. Weinberg's delivery is cuetsy, garrulous and gallant, touting herself a "good-time girl" in chirpy spirit spilt across ten ready-steady grooves.
