I like B, but it doesn't really stand a chance unless you really love that kinda stuff.

Ah, both OK.
B is Enoesque, kind of pretty, inconsequential. A is a decent Funkadelic pick

Yeah, B is quite decent for what it is, but (needless to say?) A is much closer to the ol' wheelhouse.

A is Clinton going for the bonehead white rock crowd. I find it clunky, heavy footed and not particularly funky.
B is pretty, but a bit ambient by numbers. You hear a lot of this sort of minimalism and I don't find it very distinctive.
I'll go B for now.

B is pleasant enough but not my thing.
A has some moves and despite Funkadelics questionable dumb attitudes it has some actual magic.

A is very much not my thing, Funkadelic do absolutely nothing for me, unsurprisingly. It's another kitchen sink effort where too much is being thrown at a track which sounds completely empty at heart.
Whereas I think that B is the most beautiful slice of electronic music since Coil died, it's absolute heaven. The slow build up with that strange slow creaky rhythm, it's like Burial at 16rpm, a clock damaged by string theory. Those delicately applied piano motifs, the way the abstracted vocal floats in and out of focus, unintelligible and glorious. How you can't hear something sublime and utterly vital here is beyond my comprehension, it's just the sort of music that exists on a different plane, a gift from the Gods. Just beyond compare.

B grew on me as it built.

Parliament were a perfectly fine late doo-wop band. Fuckadeli, the Italian food terrorists, had their moments. This, though... - oh choose your own insults, you've heard it all before from me, but that guitar is particularly egregious. Just fuck off back to your mothership, you drugged-up numpties 3 /10 Not a name I'm familiar with, and you don't expect anyone from Kingston-Upon-Thames to rock out, but – and hold the front page hear for some breaking news – I find myself in agreement with the Wigan wordsmith here. I haven't heard any vocals yet, but the track is yet young - oh, there they are, suitably disembodied, unintelligible and floaty – but the piano and the build is indeed beautiful (not a word I chuck around lightly), something to get lost in. Lovely. 7.5 / 10

I'm no Funkadelic fan, and no ambient consumer either, but I did enjoy both tracks. I guess A is a bit more my thing.

Jesus christ A sounds like the fucking Red Hot Chili Peppers sucking Living Color's dicks.
I feel like B requires some drone footage of incredible natural landscapes to do it justice, but it easily wins here.

B is pretty with its little piano loop melodies, but 9 mins. of that "squeaky floorboard" effect in the rhythm just had me thinking "Will someone please just get a can of WD40 and fix that fucking thing." A and Eddie Hazel are fabs.

A rocks like a sack of potatoes. It’s a drag.
B is lacy and weightless and diaphanous and quietly takes us into orbit.
