Purple Snow: Forecasting the Minneapolis Sound

Essential V/A collection and the best in that category released this year.

This is a Numero release which means top quality. Check out sounds from the album here:

Hi guys, im new here... and not just at the forum but also at funk soul music gender. Recently i discovered funkadelik and parliament, and specially on this second one i found an album i love, which is called "Mothership Connection". I was wonderin if anyone can recommend me a band with a similar style of funk... with a lot of groove.

Thanks!

Eclipse by Elements of Life is a double disc album of Latin soul, R&B & jazz-influenced dance. Several tracks remind me of the great Latin soul music from the late '60s to early '70s. But there's nothing nostalgic here as
the music is a vast melting pot of styles (those listed above plus African, Brazilian & gospel) and modern electronic/pop sounds. The album was even released on the great Fania Records label and it will fit in well with all the excellent classics that label has produced.

You might like the album Go For Your Guns by the Isley Brothers. Rick James has some good P-Funk from that era as well.

Can anyone recommend something else like this?

Time Will Tell by Ice:

If that's a bit of a broad request, I'd say that it's those flute riffs that are stuck in my head most of all.

The Brothers Johnson was more or less that style of clean funk during the 70s. They were quite popular as well.

Thanks for the recommendation, Necromancer. I've heard Strawberry Letter 23 before, but I'll delve deeper into the Brothers Johnson. Nice avatar as well - it's making me want to dig out my Universal Horror DVDs now

If anyones looking for a more down and dirty raunchy style of funk, they should check out Terry 'Zapp' Troutman from Hamilton Ohio. (1977) Zapp, Zapp Band, and my favorite Zapp & Roger have helped inspire the electro funk sound, a subgenre of funk into the creation of the G funk sound in West Coast hip hop from the early to mid 90s. If you like Parliament Funkadelic and P funk, you'll like these guys/brothers.
