Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

Funkadelic’s Maggot Brain is a mind-bending, soul-shaking masterpiece, and one of the most influential albums in the history of funk and psychedelic rock. Released in 1971, just months after Jimi Hendrix’s death, the album feels like a spiritual continuation of his legacy—particularly in the legendary, 10-minute title track, where Eddie Hazel’s guitar solo bursts with grief, ecstasy, and cosmic energy. This is Funkadelic at their most focused, raw, and transcendent.

Sharpening their songwriting while still embracing sprawling, epic compositions, Maggot Brain delivers politically charged grooves and hypnotic rhythms that helped define George Clinton’s revolutionary vision. From the heavy funk of “Super Stupid” to the soulful psych of “Can You Get to That,” this UK LP pressing captures an album that’s as visceral now as it was over 50 years ago. A funk-rock classic, and a must-own cornerstone of any serious vinyl collection.
