	Robert Christgau: CG: Funkadelic
		After "Can You Get to That," "Loose Booty," and "Funky Dollar Bill," which really are great, I'm ready to believe that "A Joyful Process" is balanced on an Ellingtonian paradox rather than immersed in schlocky pretensions.
		But the selection could be even better, and because Funkadelic is a groove band rather than a song band it's not very well-served by the "hit" format.
		The title piece is ten minutes of classic Hendrix-gone-heavy guitar by one Eddie Hazel--time-warped, druggy superschlock that may falter momentarily but never lapses into meaningless showoff runs.
