Trombipulation

"Trombipulation" is the ninth album by the funk band Parliament, released in 1980 under Casablanca Records. It marked the last album of original material from the group for nearly four decades, until the release of "Medicaid Fraud Dogg" in 2018.

Unlike previous Parliament albums where George Clinton typically served as the sole producer, "Trombipulation" saw contributions from various P-Funk musicians producing individual tracks. Bassist Bootsy Collins played a prominent role on the album, performing virtually all the instruments on several tracks.

The album's first single, "Agony of DeFeet," achieved moderate success, reaching number 7 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Despite this, "Trombipulation" did not match the commercial success of Parliament's earlier albums. Nonetheless, its influence endured in hip-hop, notably with the track "Let's Play House" being sampled by Digital Underground for their hit single "The Humpty Dance."

Overall, "Trombipulation" remains a significant part of Parliament's discography, showcasing their funk-driven sound and the evolving contributions of Bootsy Collins within the P-Funk collective.
