Loved it when this got nominated for a grammy - a bit of a f*** you to the haters. They knew and appreciated what this album was doing and they acknowledged it. Although 'pop instrumental' is off the mark - it's pure jazz fusion. Prince and Miles were friends and both respected and learned from each other. If you have Miles on your side then who cares what anybody else thinks?!
Such an underrated album. Anybody who has ever complained about this not being a 'Prince' album just doesn't understand what the man and his music is about. This followed on very nicely from The Rainbow Children and took what he started on that album to a higher and more profound plane. I used to play this to death, just getting lost in the music, the many layers, colours and sounds and the sheer brilliance of the musicianship.
I remember buying this when it came out and listening to it blazed. Outstanding set of compositions. Anyone know of any live footage, or if it even was performed live?

I just wish Prince had gone the jazz route along with the music he's already made! I think N.E.W.S. North sounds great!
