What Van Dyke Parks "Song Cycle" was to 'psychedelic pop' - Bootsy Collins
"Ultra Wave" was to 'disco' (check out Sound Crack and Sacred Flower!)...
Singular, wildly Inventive and brutally complex� good, good, good, good,
good.

I agree totally that Bootsy Collins's work
was "Singular, wildly Inventive and brutally
complex� good, good, good, good, good."
But I've always thought of him more as a
funk artists than disco. There is quite a
difference . . .

And, I'll bet that if you analyze his vocals
and his bass playing, you'll find microtones
galore!
