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
 $7.09 
Like his 1978 debut, FOR YOU, Prince composed, played, sang, produced and arranged all the songs on his 1979 follow-up, simply titled PRINCE. While PRINCE features a number of great dance songs, it also gave his future audience an idea of what they could expect from a talent many consider the finest pop composer of the 1980s. Barely into his 20's, Prince already possessed a remarkable musical vocabulary and subterranean understanding of an untold number of musical genres--ones he was rapidly combining in a way no one had heard before. On the rocker "Bambi," Prince shows off his dazzling, heavy metal-styled guitar work, while on "Still Waiting" and the now-pop standard "I Feel For You," he displays the kind of gentleness reminiscent of the best of Smokey Robinson or Stevie Wonder.
Though PRINCE did yield the #1 R&B hit, "I Wanna Be Your Lover"--it also cracked the Top 40 on the pop charts--it wasn't until his next release that his highness truly captured the American consciousness. PRINCE stands as a remarkable release by an emerging talent of immeasurable innovation.

1999 CD music
$7.09 
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 sequence, his sighs blatantly indicate carnal activity. As with many of his recordings, ...

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. 'Darling Nikki' accidentally set the PMRC ball rolling, but the heady lilt of ...
| | Prince Around The World In A Day CD (1985)
1999 songs
$7.05
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 album
$21.29
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 SIGN O' THE TIMES, it's only part of the picture.
The other parts are as ...

Originally released in 1982 on Corpus Christi this is Conflict's first and best record. Vegetarianism and the animal liberation movement were the main concerns for the fiercely political British Punk Band. Eight great tunes all masterpieces. Includes bonus tracks. 2006.
DIRTY MIND is the most focused and uncompromising of Prince's early albums. In 1980, the Purple one wasn't a superstar, he was an undeniably gifted weirdo, sort of a funk/R&B Todd Rundgren, composing, performing and producing everything himself. His ...

$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 if he was backed by Faust. While HAPPY NEW YEAR doesn't necessarily raise the stakes ...

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 in a poliphonic choir using the local dialect) - Voci Atroci (bizarre acapella quintet jazz and comedy oriented) and Blindosbarra, probably the most important ...
