NFT: if you like drugged out Sly Stone music

feelflows : 12/19/2014 2:36 pm
which I do (granted, not as much as his early music, but in terms of "funk" it's awesome)...

check out D'Angelo's new album "Black Messiah"..

it's VERY VERY VERY Sly Stone circa "STAND!", "There's A Riot Goin On", "Fresh".


I'm not saying D'Angelo is all coked up like Sly was, just that the music is very similar. It's fantastic.

It has that muddy, self harmonizing, guitar riffing, Rhodes backing, swing drumming sound to it..

It's not quite Funkadelic, as they had that blasting energy that made your bones move.. this is more undertone intense that makes your eyes move.

Sly was a...

Sly's wedding gig at the Garden. Great Show
Couldn't agree more, give or take 'drugged out'.

When Sly was drugged out, his music started sucking (and hasn't stopped).

'Black Messiah' is like 'really good' Sly Stone. 'The Charade', in particular. But the whole thing is great. Great call.

When sly first starting drugging up his music was still great, just not as chipper. Like Stand! That's what this is like to me.

I'm not talking his late 70s garbage lol

Heh. Sly definitely crossed that fine line (bonus pun) quickly. But, again. Great call. I am really impressed with/enjoying the whole album. Played it many times already this week. Great Marvin gaye vibe, in addition to the Sly. Nice to hear something so organic and funky.

It is grimey, Motley. But keep listening. The good stuff is underneath.

I haven't listened through great speakers yet either. Cannot wait.
I like what I heard so far.
