'Atmosphere' is an undeniable standout moment for both Bernie Worrell and Funkadelic. The song Atmosphere is excellent. Perhaps the silliest is at the end -- there's not much else one can call the extended oompah/icing rink start of "Atmosphere." If there's an album you really want and you happen upon a 4MWB reissue I think it's safe to take a chance on it. Some of their records definitely sound better than others. The targets of the band's good-natured wrath are, in fact, other groups -- "Hey, Fool and the Gang! The title track is as much a call to arms as "Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow" is, but with a more direct musical performance and a more open nod to party atmospheres (not to mention the source of one of Andrew Dice Clay's longest-running bits). That being said, what you get here isn't all that bad for someone who wants to own a great album at a decent price. My copy seems the same but without any reference to manufacture. referencing Let's Take It To The Stage, LP, Album, gat, W-215 'Atmosphere' is an undeniable standout moment for both Bernie Worrell and Funkadelic. The music still comes through the speakers powerfully, some songs better than others. Let's take it to the stage!" Sampled by Prince Paul & Stetsasonic for the track 'Music For The Stetfully Insane' and by MF Doom more recently, this is an organ jam like no other. It may only be two and a half minutes long, but it alone makes the album a classic. I actually think they're pressed pretty well, no issues with noise or warps or it being off center. Hardcore vinyl enthusiasts will probably not appreciate the sound of these LPs. Where on the sleeve does it say Made in West Germany? Hearing Bootsy Collins' unmistakable vocals is usually enough to get anything on the crazy tip, but "Be My Beach" (Collins' Funkadelic vocal debut) just makes it all the more fun, as does the overall air of silly romance getting nuttier as it goes. Sampled by Prince Paul & Stetsasonic for the track 'Music For The Stetfully Insane' and by MF Doom more recently, this is an organ jam like no other. Gothic, cosmic & out of this solar system. There's no mistaking the track that immediately follows makes it even more intense -- "Get Off Your Ass and Jam" kicks in with one bad-ass drum roll and then scorches the damn place down, from guitar solo to the insanely funky bass from Cordell "Boogie" Mosson. One of Funkadelic's goofiest releases, Let's Take It to the Stage also contains more P-Funk all-time greats as well, making for a grand balance of the serious and silly. Of course, there's also one totally notorious number to go with it, but "No Head, No Backstage Pass" has one of the craziest rhythms on the whole album, not to mention lip-smackingly nutty lines delivered with the appropriate leer. However, the listening experience isn't bad on these reissues. The title track is as much a call to arms as "Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow" is, but with a more direct musical … One of Funkadelic's goofiest releases, Let's Take It to the Stage also contains more P-Funk all-time greats as well, making for a grand balance of the serious and silly.
