Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow [Remastered] - Funkadelic

This album is cool. And that's the only appropriate word. At first I thought it was going to be quite similar to 'Tales of Kidd Funkadelic' (with long, progressive church influenced funk riffs), but after track one, it turns into like...a blues:funk hybrid.

Now I am sure it is there for a purpose; as are some other points of the album I tend to skip, but personally, I did not think it stood up to bar with the rest of the record.

It's a good gateway album if you're just getting into Funkadelic, and is sure not to dissapoint.
