A fellowship of the low end, where Parliament's mothership broadcasts on a bass frequency James Brown invented when he told the drummer to hit the one. Bootsy Collins stretches that thump into rubber-band contortions while the Isleys and Tower of Power bring the strut. This is funk after midnight ... when the dancefloor thins out and the people who remain are the ones who came for the bass, not the chorus.
