Whereas the old, guitar-centered band glowered at the straight world from its freak-trench, Parliament found a way to party with it -- and still bring their own Babel of stoned jokes, invented alter egos and dirty, funny innuendo. These records, full of tracks that stuff a couple of minisongs into one megasong, sound \u003c\/span\u003egood right now in the frightened world: They are self-contained polities of exuberantly good times. 1974's \u003ci\u003eUp for the Down Stroke\u003c\/i\u003e reflects Sly Stone's moody sound strategies; the metamorphosis is not yet complete. By \u003ci\u003eChocolate City\u003c\/i\u003e (1975), the band had the plot down: Bernie Worrell's space-age keyboard sounds, Bootsy Collins' watery bass lines, Clinton's mad-ringmaster raps. But \u003ci\u003eMothership Connection\u003c\/i\u003e, from the same year, with its spacious, carnivalesque vibe and exhortations to funk ecstasy, was the masterpiece, the slang creator, the icon builder, the master narrative -- or \"the bomb,\" as Clinton succinctly put it before anyone else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Parliament_discography\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttp:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Parliament_discography\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChocolate City\u003cbr\u003eride On\u003cbr\u003eTogether\u003cbr\u003eside Effects\u003cbr\u003eWhat Comes Funky\u003cbr\u003eLet Me Be\u003cbr\u003eIf It Do not Fit (Do not Force It)\u003cbr\u003eIn Misjudged You\u003cbr\u003eBig Footin '\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casablanca","offers":[{"title":"1973","offer_id":990523161,"sku":"","price":168.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/2072\/products\/51Btnj7hWrL.jpg?v=1571439134","url":"https:\/\/recordpusher.live\/products\/parliament-chocolate-city","provider":"RecordPusher - International Vinyl Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
