content: "Osmium" is a great glimpse into early Parliament. It sounds more San Francisco psychedelic rock than Detroit R&B funk in places, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. It is funkier than other reviews would have you believe though. It's really a mixed bag of musical styles. There's something like a church organ throughout the album, and possibly a harpsichord(?). Hell, "Country Boy" even features dobro, lap pedal steel guitar, mouth harp, and yodeling. The thing is, the whole album really works. "I Call My Baby Pussycat" is one of their all-time greats. This is essential listening for any P-Funk fan. The guys are really Takin' Care Of Business here. You can't go wrong with George Clinton, Eddie Hazel, and Bernie Worrell!
