  Horns   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Horn, a general term applied to all hard and pointed appendages of the head, such as those in deer, cattle, sheep and goats.
Horn is a tough, flexible, partially transparent substance, most liberally developed in the horns of animals of the ox family, but also found in connection with the "shell" of the tortoise, the nails, claws, and hoofs of animals and the beaks of birds and turtles.
Thus, the horns of deer consist of bone and fall off at regular intervals; those of the giraffe are independent bones, with a covering of hairy skin; those of oxen, sheep and antelopes consist of a bony core, covered by a horny sheath.

 Parliament
The first release from the Horny Horns is relentless tuneful funk, mostly instrumental.
This isn't as consistent as their debut, but "Half A Man" and "We Came To Funk Ya" are as funky as anything you're going to come across, and the title track shows off Fred Wesley's remarkable trombone techique.
Running out of quality material, the Horns resort to a cover of "Standin' On The Verge" and a number of overlong, routine solo vehicles.

RC: As a companion to the rerelease of the Horny Horns' two studio albums, a third album of unreleased material was also offered.
I was hoping that we would get the full take of that, but instead they gave us this, which is sampled lines from the song over a looped beat with some keyboards that sound modern.
I was a bit disappointed in the songs that were altered with modern technology, particularly "Discositdown", but all in all I think we're lucky to have this album at all.

 Amazon.com: The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
This is one of those classic mid-late 70's albums, where the Horny Horns feature Michael and Randy Brecker, and where Bootsy can be heard behind the thumping bass-grooves along with Cordell Mosson, as well as in the choir and behind the drums.
The rhythm and horn arrangements on "Getten' To Know You" aren't as strong as on the rest of the album, but the first track after the prelude on this album --"Gamin' On Ya"-- is very horn-based, and has one of the funkiest horn arrangements ever.
Overall the horn and vocal arrangements on this album are also more superior on this album, than any other pfunk album.

 Horns - Review - Get Horny
This is best exemplified by a hunting horn or bugle - a hollow metal tube, with a mouthpiece to rest against the lips at one end, and a flared bell to amplify the sound at the other.
Other brass players have this problem too when they have to play high in their range, but because the Horn's "normal" register starts so much further up the sequence, greater difficulty in pitching is present throughout.
Not only that, but Horn players have additional problems in tuning, due to the fact that the lovely mellow sound that practised French Hornists make is caused by the right hand being partially inserted into the flared bell of the instrument.

The sound should be familiar to all with the light keys carrying the melody, the effects laden pop bass playing of Bootsy Collins, group vocals, and the emphasis on the one, something that Wesley, Maceo and the Collins’ brothers all learned from the Godfather James Brown and then imparted to Clinton.
The best and most upbeat song is Love And Affection with its big horn intro and female chorus and cow bell that sounds a little like Take Me To The Mardi Gras, although it looses something during the choruses with a slap bass.
The opening horn line should be familiar to everyone as it was used by Mark The 45 King for the 900 Number song, and later as the theme for the Ed Lover Dance on Yo!
