Countless Funkadelic compilations have appeared on the market over the years; some are extensive (1993's exceptional Music for Your Mother), while some serve as a brief "introduction" to the band, such as 2000's Funk Gets Stronger. Weighing in at only ten tracks, it's obvious that not all of the highlights from Funkadelic's lengthy career are included. But nearly all of the best-known tracks from the band's late-'70s period (which was more dance-oriented than its early hard-rock sound) are featured -- Hardcore Jollies, One Nation Under a Groove, and Uncle Jam Wants You. Included are such dancefloor essentials as "(Not Just) Knee Deep" and the title track from Nation (both of which have been sampled countless times by rap bands later on), in addition to remakes of two favorites from the early days of Funkadelic -- the guitar solo showcase "Maggot Brain" and the tale of a mother who supports her family by any means necessary, "Cosmic Slop." Not a bad compilation, but why settle for a ten-track taster when you can have the full feast with a variety of other Funkadelic overviews? ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide [-] Collapse
