notes
Bernie Worrell's Minimoog/ARP lines, a square-and-saw stack pushed through a driven filter for extra honk, are the connective tissue of the whole P-Funk sound, weaving between the horns and vocal chants. Worrell's synth rig and playing style from this era are extensively documented in interviews. The glide between notes gives it that vocal, talking quality.
