| | Prince 1999 CD Prince Discography of CDs
 (5 Customer Reviews)
With the release of this seminal double-album, Prince evolves from the minimalist synth-pop that powered such discs as DIRTY MIND and CONTROVERSY into the pop genius that defined such quirky masterpieces as PURPLE RAIN and SIGN OF THE TIMES. Were it only for the hits--the loopy bounce of "Delirious," the moody slide of "Little Red Corvette," and the irresistible title track (only Prince could have written the ultimate dance song for the turn of the millennium 18 years before the fact)--1999 would be essential. These tracks are as perfect as they are familiar from incessant radio play.
The rest of 1999 holds up to the radio hits. Loose, nasty grooves like "D.M.S.R." and "Automatic" are interspersed with the propulsive shuffle of "Let's Pretend We're Married" and the soulful, psychedelic pulse of "Something In The Water." This is not average dance music. Prince's hybrid of rich, trippy atmospherics, '80s synth-y keyboard sounds, lush, asymmetrical harmonies, elements of rock guitar, soulful singing, and strong songwriting--all rolled together with beats--weaves dark, sexual energy into ebullient boogie anthems. 1999 is one of the definitive pop music documents of the '80s.

 Breakout album
This is the album that pushed the Purple One into the spot light! With rock tracks like "Little Red Corvette" and idiosyncratic funk numbers like "1999" were bound to be hits for the artist. Prince was a bonafied star with 1999! Other favorites include "Something in the Water (Does Not Compute) and "D.M.S.R"

1999 album
 $6.55  
CONTROVERSY is the fourth release from Prince, and it continues in the tradition of his debut DIRTY MIND, with funky rhythms, throbbing electronic accents and titillating lyrics. Featuring the successful title cut and the club hit "Private Joy," CONTROVERSY works off Prince's infamous juxtaposition of sex and religion. This is explicitly depicted in songs such as "Annie Christian" and the sultry ballad "Do Me, Baby" where during a long instrumental ...

1999 CD music
$9.89 
A soundtrack to a movie so appalling that it is infinitely wiser to let the record stand on its own merits. While Prince cavorted in purple kitchen foil and rode his Harley in high heels, the real star of the film, the music, was doing all the talking. A knit of funk and rock, a heavily stylized Hendrix guitar lick here and there, and a wilfully danceable backbeat all made for a huge commercial smash, and the first real international introduction for many people to a star-in-waiting. ...
| | Prince Around The World In A Day CD (1985)
1999 music CDs
$6.49
On AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY, the follow-up to their megahit PURPLE RAIN, Prince and the Revolution add a generous helping of psychedelia to their style, enlisting Prince's father along the way to co-write several songs, including the title track. Many critics at the time dismissed AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY as a turkey follow-up to the outstanding PURPLE RAIN. However, the achingly beautiful ballad "Condition of the Heart," and the stunning "The Ladder," as well as the pop classic "Raspberry Beret," could easily sit beside the band's best material. Ballads and pop gems aside, Prince is as cocky and as sexually self-assured as ever on AROUND THE WORLD. When he vamps and winks his way through "Temptation," the epic album-closer, he moans "everybody on this earth has got a vice and mine, little darlin', is the opposite of ice."

| | Prince Sign 'O' The Times CDs (1987)
1999 songs
$19.05
Principally recorded at Paisley Park, Minneapolis, Minnesota and Sunset Sound, Los Angeles, California.
After an adventurous run through fields of Beatlesque psychedelia, Prince seemed ready to get back to the task of creating the epic that both his audience and adoring critics had been demanding since PURPLE RAIN. Originally put together as a three-LP opus titled CRYSTAL BALL (but pared down pre-release by the picky artist), SIGN O' THE TIMES wasn't exactly the historic merger of rock and R&B that the world had been expecting. Instead, it played like an ultimate mix-tape of Prince-ly styles--from grinding, house music-inspired funk ("Housequake") to idiosyncratic pieces of irresistibly sweet pop fare ("Starfish And Coffee"). Yet, the man's singular outlook could constantly be identified; and as varied as the music got, that outlook worked as a uniting factor.
Abandoning the Revolution and returning to the one-man-band ethic made the overall sound of SIGN O' THE TIMES far more spare than recent efforts. Various members did make random contributions, and the entire group is featured on a lone live track (the driving extenda-groove, "It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night"); but Prince seemed adamant about unshackling himself from the responsibilities of being a particular band's leader, and constructed an album that reflected his evolving musical vision, rather than the Revolution's signature sound. Though that sound still rears its head--particularly on "Play In The Sunshine"--on ...

| | Information Society Pure Energy: The Very Best Of CD (2004)
1999 album
$9.65 
A collection of re-recordings, remixes of re-recordings, and a couple original tracks from the lackluster Don't Be Afraid, Pure Energy: The Very Best Of is at best an easy way to collect all the compilation appearances Information Society did for the Cleopatra label. Those looking for the original recordings should seek out the band's recordings for the Tommy Boy label. ~ David Jeffries
Watch out, the Cleopatra record label is up to their old tricks. The only original recordings on Pure Energy: The Very Best Of are from Don't Be Afraid, a lackluster album Information Society recorded for Cleopatra in 1997. Otherwise, this is all re-recordings and remixes from the usual stable of Cleopatra remixers. The new version of the group's biggest hit, "What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy)" is sterile and one of Kurt Harland's worst vocal performances. The remix improves the big hit re-recording a bit but the rest of the remixes focus on the slight "goth" side of the band and are absolutely no fun. ...

1999 music CDs
$12.19
A fearless sense of experimentation has always been at the core of Oneida's approach, but their 2006 album HAPPY NEW YEAR found the band returning to the more nuanced sonic aesthetic first explored on 2005's THE WEDDING. Album opener "Distress" is driven by a medieval-sounding folk melody enhanced by a lovely chanted male/female vocal; the tripped-out singing that marks "Reckoning" is brought back to earth by gentle acoustic guitar lines; and "Busy Little Bee" even features a banjo. Oneida has always been a classic rock band at heart, though, albeit one with a penchant for squalls of psychedelic noise and stabbing keyboard hooks, and there's no shortage of either here. The live show favorite "Up With People" is of particular note, suggesting what Prince might sound like ...

I work in Genova, Italy, known in italian music world as the town of the great existentialists authors in the 60'sThe town is tight, hard, sober. It's also a sea place with one of the biggest harbour in the mediterraneum, so at a same time it is attracted from things coming from overseas. Streets are tight and narrows, and narrow is the place because a whole lot of mountains are placed in the back of it.In the second half of the 80's I am deejaying around the town's clubs promoting any kind of black musicIn the 90's I join three of the most reknown underground bands, Sensaciou (raggamuffin and soul music ...
