The motherships and stadium-sized funk sermons would come later: for now, George Clinton's cosmic funk band had still yet to feel out the edges of the sound they'd eventually own. Osmium, from 1970 and the debut P-Funk record, caught the revolving collective at ground zero, before Maggot Brain or One Nation Under A Groove would hook their respective places on various "best albums ever" lists. Gospel fever, country-soul sweetness and fuzz-boiled fusion funk abound on 'I Call My Baby Pussycat', 'Put Love In Your Life' and 'Funky Woman', the latter even drifting into bagpipe territory. Rather like the heaviest element in the periodic table, Osmium riveted the P-Funk sound to harsher, heavier and thicker sonic girders.
