#1250 War - War

War was finding itself about now, drawing on a lot of the styles circa 1971: some Funkadelic funk, some Mayfield soul, some early Sly positivity, plus some uniquely striking moments (that horn scream on War Drums!). The resulting brew's snakily unpredictable, curiously compelling, listenable, lulling and finding backdoors into the half-listener's subconscious. Evidence: I'm giving this a good rating and I'm not altogether sure why - it's got its hooks in and I like it 4/5
