One Nation Under a Re-Groove

Rasputin Music,David Bassin, Soul Correspondent, May 2003
This ain't nothin' but a party, y'all. It's not the Mothership, but maybe the next best thing.

Product Description
What do you get when you assemble a bunch of top-flight jam and funk musicians and classic session cats in a studio together, who just happen to have an unhealthy obsession with Parliament/Funkadelic? In the case of One Nation Under A Re-Groove, a storming world-class reevaluation of the grandmaster of funk, courtesy of the cleverly named new-groove collective The Clinton Administration. The group’s all-instrumental take on the music of George Clinton turns the groove up an extra notch, with reworked Parliament classics such as "Mothership Connection," "Up For The Downstroke," and the rousing "Give Up The Funk," and some of Funkadelic’s finest including "(Not Just) Knee Deep" and, of course, the signature funk classic "One Nation Under A Groove."

Swing-Down Sweet Chariot Stop and Let them Ride!.......2003-08-07

This CD is the Bomb! The band's cover of P-Funk is awesome and gives one the feeling of a P-Funk Live Concert albeit in the studio. If you have ever seen or heard the "Live" version of MotherShip Connection (Star-Child) you will understand. The arrangements of the songs are played almost true to the original production release except with a twist or additional slice of improv as if it were live. I have heard other's remake P-Funk cuts into a Jazzy rendition (including George Duke/Stanley Clarke, Karl Denson, etc), however this is the best and "Un-Cut" effort to date. You cannot get on the Mother Ship without this CD!

Nice Surprise.......2003-05-27

Being a hardcore Funkateer I was skeptical about someone elses interpretation of some of the best songs that P-FUNK ever made. This CD had a light, jazzy feel to it. It's something that should be played on a Sunday morning while reading the paper. While the turntable stuff did nothing for me, the instruments, especially the sax and bass, were tight. It is a great tribute to George Clinton and P-Funk when players like Clyde Stubblefield and Phil Upchurch join forces to remake their music.
The best tracks are One Nation Under A Groove and Chocolate City. Again, the best way to describe it is (jazzy)funk. The style in which the sax is played helps to give it a light feeling. For all the devoted clones out there, you really should add this one to your collection.
