Customer Reviews:

The best from Hancock in the '70s........2006-03-21

"Headhunter" and "Thrust" tend to receive the most accolades, and both are solid albums, but this neglected gem is the most accessible and consistently funky work from this period in Herbie Hancock's career. For someone looking to experience the brilliant yet accessible sound of "Takin' Off" and "My Point of View" redone in a fusion/funk setting, this album is a great place to start.

A space funk masterpiece.......2005-03-07

A real Herbie fan would realize that there was so much inovation on this album. Check the vicious landing of the space ship traitor and the gorgeous fender on sun touch and hang up your hang ups OWWWWWWW.Some reviewers think they know Herbie because of rock it and thrust but know Herbie from his jazz tradtional to fusion to eclectic transitions and then go back and listen to manchild.Talk what you know people this album is brilliant!! Own it and be prepared!!!disc commander

Hang Up YOUR Hang Ups!.......2005-01-13

Considering that this album is the follow up to Herbie Hancock's brilliant 'Headhunters' and 'Thrust',the albums that wrote the book on the funk-jazz sound 'Man-Child' is bound to be as magical an album as the mysterious cover art suggests and it is."Hang Up Your Hang Ups" is a strident,funky blacksploitation thats chocked FULL of guitar and Moog breaks for you hip-hop samplers!Elsewhere "Sun Touch" and "Bubbles" are smoldering,drippy funky fusion filled with lush,melodic keyboard and analog synth textures."The Traiter","Heartbeat" and "Steppin In It" are harder edged uptempo funk.Overall 'Man-Child' comes off as the 'pure funk album' Herbie was planning to make with his previous two records because the jazz influences are kept to a bare minimum.For fans of fusion and mid 70's electronic Moog/ARP funk this album is a treasure but for those interested in earlier,more abstract fusion this may not be your thing.It's only a pitty that some very similar sounding and conceived albums by George Duke and Jan Hammer from roughly this same period remain out of print.It's a testament to the fact that,luckily,Hancock managed to be connected with Columbia records who have kept classic funk LP's by Herbie Hancock like this in print!

Great Follow-up to (2) classics..............................2004-07-27

I definately recommend- Headhunters & Thrust before you buy this one, but once you have those, Man-Child is just as essential. This is a killer continuation of the funk H.H. & the Headhunters started with the album of the same name. It's like "Headhunters" opened the door- "Thrust" F*@#'d S*@# up and "Man-Child" was a sweet goodbye to some of the best funk music you will ever hear....... Ya dig?

Solid electronic funk album.......2004-01-07

Man-Child is another strong electronic jazz-funk album from Herbie Hancock. Although it's not as consistent or creative as Headhunters or Thrust, it's still pretty good. The opening track "Hang Up Your Hang Ups", with its snappy horn lines and funky guitar, is easily the best track here. Herbie has a great solo near the end of the track as well. "The Traitor", with its funky bass line, and "Heartbeat", which has a great hook and more great playing from Herbie, are great as well. "Steppin' In It" is a cool little jam featuring Stevie Wonder on harmonica. The remaining tracks "Sun Touch" and "Bubbles" are decent ballads, with the latter being the stronger of the two. A solid album. It's worth checking out just for "Hang Up Your Hang Ups", one of the best from his funk era.
