Where this album fits

Career context
By the time 'Trombipulation' was released in January 1980, Parliament had shifted from their peak commercial success with 'Mothership Connection' to a period of experimentation. This album followed the departure of key member George Clinton's other project, Funkadelic, allowing Parliament to explore new sonic territories. It marked a pivotal moment as they navigated the evolving landscape of funk music in the late '70s and early '80s.
