T.A.P.O.A.F.O.M. , or The Awesome Power Of A Fully Operational Mothership to give the album its full title, was released in 1996, at a time when the acid house-inspired dance music craze had swept across the UK and attention was turning to the guitar driven Britpop bands and then Prime Minister Tony Blair ‘s hokey creation Cool Britannia was grabbing the headlines. And yet with its ferociously awesome funk grooves, it evoked memories of a time at least twenty years previous, when Clinton’s musical gangsFunkadelic and Parliament held sway over popular music. T.A.P.O.A.F.O.M. has largely been viewed as a reunion album of the Funkadelic/Parliament era, featuring as it does, input from former members including Collins, Maceo Parker, Bernie Worrell, Junie Morrison and Fred Wesley. As you would no doubt agree, it’s a joy to hear.
