Edwin Birdsong - Dance Of Survival (1975)

Released on the tiny Bamboo label between Edwin Birdsong's tenures with Polydor and Philadelphia International, Dance of Survival remains his boldest and most metaphysical effort, channeling influences spanning from psychedelia to folk to disco to create music that seems to speak an alien language only the ass can understand. No matter how eccentric or incomprehensible Birdsong's lyrics, his grooves are profoundly universal, the Trojan horse via which his music spreads like some mutant virus. This is cosmic funk transmitted from a planet astronomers have yet to discover, adorned in bizarre production flourishes, blistering guitars and sci-fi synths, and it's somehow both instantly familiar and utterly unlike anything you've ever heard.
