The Sound of The Future.......2005-01-08

Back in 1967, when the interracial, mixed-gender combo of Sly Stone burst onto the scene with their debut album, the burgeoning rock & roll subculture was, as always, hungry for fresh kicks and different sounds. But no one was quite prepared for the magical, multi-faceted musical mix Sly & company served up. Their music was an inspired blend of rock, soul, pop, jazz, and an emerging genre soon to be dubbed funk. It packed a powerful, joyous wallop, delivering all the things one hoped to find in music: The thrill of the new, the excitement of the unexpected, a galvanizing groove, and lyrics that actually said something.

Now, 37 years later another interracial, mixed-gender talented bunch are hoping to pick up that torch and carry it along for the next generation of music hungry starved lovers of all things funky!

Collective Hallucination, led by the hard working, never sleeping, focused and determined rhythm guitarist Ant Boogie, has what it takes to make it in a world dominated by drum machines, samplers and a load of tasteless, non-talented "artist" calling themselves bands and things of the such.

Though there is a long line of artist to come along since Sly Stone such as Zapp featuring Roger Troutman, Prince, Mint Condition, Ohio Players, Slapback, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Brother's Johnson, George Clinton and many others, Collective Hallucination hopes to one day make their mark on the world of funky, jazz like rock and soul music. Ant says they aren't doing anything new, cause everything has been done. We aren't trying to re-invent the wheel, he says, we are doing something that needs to be done; making "Just Good Music".

The main influence of most of Ant's writing comes from one source he says; an unlikely source in the European songstress/artist Des'ree. He says he has many influences including Prince, (of course), INXS, Norman Brown and many others, but it's without a doubt most songs he writes he "hears" Des'ree singing them.

For his funkier side, he definitely reaches into his bag of Sly. He says that's where the inspiration for "We're Not That Different", (A funky call to order for prejudice to cease in every way), comes from. It so Sly Stone-ish he says. I know if Sly ever hears this song, he'd be proud! The song can be found on the critically acclaimed cd by Collective Hallucination called "The Peripheral Moment".

The inspiration doesn't stop there when it comes to Sly. Ant says he used to imagine having an interracial, mixed-gender band ala The Family Stone, he just never imagined it would happen. Many folks that knew me back in the day when I used to put on talent shows and have interracial "bandmates" thought it was because of Prince's Revolution. It runs deeper than that. It was all Sly. Ant doesn't deny that Prince is a huge inspiration, but he wants to make sure everyone knows it started with Sly Stone. There has been something about Sly Stone Ant hasn't been able to put his hands on. He does know that musically though Sly is one of his biggest heroes and inspirations. He started what Prince perfected. Sly is an ICON in SOUL music and I hope no one forgets that. Ant says he listens to some Sly Stone at least once every week.

Ant says after years of praying to GOD for the ultimate band, GOD answered his prayers in the guise of J Thunder, J Lightning, Soleil, Earth Sol and Black Chylde, 5 individuals with no hang ups, who, like Ant had been praying for focused like minded individuals to make good music with. These cats all have their eyes on the prize. It just so happens the band is an interracial, mixed-gender group of individuals!

Ant says the time for Collective Hallucination is now and he's looking forward to the future with these five individuals as CH takes on the world to win fans one at a time!

Maybe now in 2005 music lovers have prepared themselves for the fresh kicks and different sounds that music lovers were hungry for back in `67. Maybe now they are prepared for the magical, multi-faceted musical mix Collective Hallucination is serving. The music of Collective Hallucination is indeed an inspired blend of rock, soul, pop, jazz, and yes funk.
