Funkadelic’s self-titled debut may have touched upon drug-induced acid rock, but on their 1970 follow-up, Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow, the band blows the door off its hinges. Look no further than the album-opening ten-minute title track – perhaps the most spaced out composition witnessed by rock and roll since the rolling stones’ late-’60s psychedelic-phase – for the proof.

Tracks such as “Friday Night”, “August 14th”, “Funky Dollar Bill”, and “I Wanna Know if it’s Good to You?” are all highlights, the band locking into one killer funk groove after another. The haunting and tranquil “Eulogy And Light” closes the album with a fusion of backwards singing and gospel-like speech, a fitting end to Funkadelic’s most ‘out there’ recording.
