CyberHippie Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Anyone have this album? I was thinking about picking it up at lunch. The review on allmusic sounds pretty good, but it's always nice to hear from someone who has it. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=UIDMISS70311071117070839&sql=A09x1z87ajyv3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted March 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Ok, so I went ahead and picked this up at lunch. I'm only into the first track, but you know what? GET IT! quote:Absolutely one of the finest funk albums of the early '70s, and one of the most unfairly neglected, 1971's Awakening is as important and exciting as any of Funkadelic's early albums from the same period. It doesn't have the mordant humor of George Clinton's best work, but these seven lengthy tracks are as powerful as early funk gets. A Chicago-based 11-piece ensemble (many members of which would go on to found Earth, Wind & Fire with Maurice White), the Pharaohs were led by their five-man-strong drum section, which included future world jazz pioneer Derf Reklaw and two percussionists specializing in African drumming.
