Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

It begins with the insistent drip-drop of a sequencer and ends with some old school R&B. In between, the artist who was still calling himself Prince unfurls an encyclopaedia of moods, genres and grooves. Widely heralded as a groundbreaker in 1987, when it was released, some of the music in oh-so-80s synths sounds a bit dated. Yet this double- length set is clearly the sound of a performer at the height of his power. On songs like the title track, "If I Was Your Girlfriend" and the thunderous "The Cross", Prince proves why the hype was justified. --Amy Linden

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Rock Era's Finest Albums, Jun 10 2004
By 
Too Much Free Time (Midwest, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sign O the Times (Audio CD)
If Purple Rain is Prince at his tightest and most focused, Sign of the Times is Prince as his most eclectic. On this particular album, as the Beatles did on the White Album, Prince successfully navigates several different genres with stunning craft. Exhibiting the full range of his immense talent, Prince offers up the socially aware, Sly-influenced funk of the title track, the smoldering James Brown tribute "Housequake," the classic slow jam "Adore," the sparse, poignant ballad "Forever in My Life," the Beatlesque gem "Starfish and Coffee," the surging sixties-style rocker "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man"), the psychosexual, quirky funk of "If I Was Your Girlfriend" and "Strange Relationship," the gospel-tinged "The Cross," the sharply observed "Ballad of Dorothy Parker," and the sexually charged, genius pop- funk of "U Got the Look."

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the best!, May 25 2004
This review is from: Sign O the Times (Audio CD)
The Prince fan here!
Sign 'O' the Times is undoubtedly one of the best albums you'll ever hear!! I got introduced to so much because of this man here. His music is great and he deserves praise for it!

Sign 'O' the Times...Brilliant!! This 2-disc set is wonderful, I'm beginning to go listen to it right now! He is so brilliant, you'll be blinded by his talent! He is such a great songwriter and singer and more, and I really appreciate him.

This album is a mix of rock, R&B, and pop. It is put together wonderfully with a love song or slow jam at the end of each CD (like he usually does). Among my favorites are "Starfish & Coffee" so mellow and entertaining in a kiddy sorta way. Your inner child comes out after listening to that one! "Slow Love" and it's Sly and the Family Stone meets The Beatles funk--I love it! Forever in my Life...wow...makes me wanna be one of the many women he had! "U Got the Look", man, dance on, dance on, dance on! "Strange Relationship", baby! So cute, so well done Prince (or Camille? LOL). And "Adore", like my girl Alicia Keys, I love it, great ending song.

I got lost in my music for a moment, but I really recommend it to you guys. You don't have to be a huge Prince fan (like myself) to enjoy it. Trust me!
BUY IT AND BE AMAZED!
