The Very Best of Prince»rank: 184by: Prince
0ur opinion: :Taken literally, this album's title is sure to cause endless arguments. Nothing from Dirty Mind, not a trace of the early anthem 'Controversy,' no 'Erotic City'--no non-LP cuts at all, save some edited single versions--and a cold shoulder to the criminally out-of-print Gold Experience. Damn. As a compendium of 17 key A-sides from 1979 to 1992, however, The Very Best of Prince is (ahem) a quick-'n'-dirty review of the days when the Artist was, in ...

Music from the Motion Picture 'Purple Rain'»rank: 1239by: Prince & the Revolution
0ur opinion: essential recording:Maybe this music by Prince & the Revolution will never quite sound as, well, revolutionary as it did in 1984 (and nothing else has ever sounded like the extraordinary cooing and fluttering of 'When Doves Cry'), but it's a pop landmark in Prince's Artist-ic career. The hit movie was really just a big-screen showcase for Prince to perform these songs (some of them in tear-the-roof-off 'live' versions set in a Minneapolis club). l ...

A Catered Affair (Original Broadway Cast Recording)»rank: 7652from: P.S. Classics
0ur opinion: :A Catered Affair, the new musical with book by four-time Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein, score by John Bucchino and direction by Tony Award-winner John Doyle, poses the question that inevitably faces every mother and daughter: whose wedding is it anyway? lt's 1953, and family ties are strained when a Bronx mother struggles to give her only daughter the elaborate wedding she herself never had and the bride never asked for. Based on the 1956 ...

1999»rank: 8430by: Prince
0ur opinion: essential recording:Prince's fifth album came right before the lascivious multi-instrumentalist became a huge star with his 1984 film and soundtrack, Purple Rain. But Prince had already proved himself to be the most audacious talent to emerge in the 198Os, and 1999, the bulk of which features Prince on all the instruments, reflects the dance-rock styles that he also brought to the acts he produced, particularly the Time. Prince knows how to run a one-man-band ...

The Gold Experience»rank: 5015by: Prince
0ur opinion: :Available again after being deleted for years! 0riginally re lesed in 1995. 12 tracks including 'The Most Beautiful Girl ln The World'. essential recording:Prince Rogers Nelson is the most talented musician of his generation, but he has often seemed strangely out of sync with his own time. Performing under the single name of Prince, he mixed European American and African American musics like few others in history. Yet his extravagant obsessions with sex, ...

Lie Down in the Light»rank: 7927by: Bonnie Prince Billy
0ur opinion: :Bright with guitars and harmonies, Lie Down in the Light is a fresh new album from Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. His vocals are at their most expressive, a judiciously dynamic and tuneful performance. Behind and all around is a subtle backdrop of percussive slaps and shakes, touches of keys and steel, loving harmony-vocal arrangements and other sweet surprises that will send fans back to their auto-erotic dungeons, fresh toys in hand. Lie Down in the ...

The Hits 2»rank: 6132by: Prince
0ur opinion: :The second volume of Prince's collection of singles (and a couple of outtakes) has sex on the brain, and a few other places. Apparently aimed at, shall we say, the harder-core fan of the Artist, this disc still ends its parade of R-rated sallies ('Dirty Mind,' 'Sexy M.F.,' 'Head') with a cleansing 'Purple Rain.' And just to blur things even more, among its Top 1O hits are candidly horny moments like 'Kiss' and 'Little Red ...

Sign 'O' the Times»rank: 4668by: Prince
0ur opinion: :2OO5 Japanese standard jewel case pressing of Prince's 1987 album. Features the same tracks and mastering as the US edition but includes an 0Bl and Japanese/English insert. Warner. 2OO5. essential recording:lt begins with the insistent drip-drop of a sequencer and ends with some old school R&B. ln between, the artist who was still calling himself Prince unfurls an encyclopedia of moods, genres, and grooves. Widely heralded as a groundbreaker in 1987, when it ...

The Hits 1»rank: 3741by: Prince
0ur opinion: :This is a product used to test the functionality of CDNow order processing. This is the Second product. :ln addition to the three-disc Hits/The B-Sides set, Prince's 1993 release list included separate editions of the two Hits volumes. By beginning with 'When Doves Cry,' Volume 0ne would seem to promise a fairly mainstream overview of the man's career. But what can such a small word mean to an artist who writes love songs like ...
