The Plasma Shaft

Red Hot Chili Peppers

A gritty collection of Blood Sugar Sex Magik era outtakes and live-wire funk. Heavy on the slap-bass, high on the energy, and quintessentially Californian.

1994 · Warner Music Australasia

Find on Amazon

A high-octane blend of aggressive funk rhythms and sun-drenched Californian melancholy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The frantic, polyrhythmic percussion breakdown in the instrumental Fela’s Cock.
The way the dry, percussive guitar scratch opens the live-feeling version of If You Have to Ask.
The sudden transition from the heavy funk of the main set to the melodic, slide-guitar melancholy of Soul to Squeeze.
