Widely regarded as one of Parliament's best, Mothership Connection was the first P-Funk mythology concept album, introducing fictional characters and themes which would remain central to George Clinton's work over the next decade. The album was influential in shaping the sound of P-Funk, and indeed Hip Hop, with Dr Dre sampling both Mothership Connection (Star Child) and P Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up) on his legendary 1992 album, The Chronic.
About the artist
Parliament was an American funk band formed in the late 1960s by George Clinton as a flagship act of his P-Funk collective. Evolving out of an earlier vocal group, Parliament became associated with a more commercial and less rock-oriented sound than its sister act Funkadelic.
