This music could've been in a French new wave film of the 60's. So sad that this picture wasn't directed by a class-A director with a script to die for. Prince oughta have given it to the max, and I'll bet he would've been movie-star of the year in 1986. Unfortunately (and keep in mind that I love the man) his ego has sometimes blocked his insight into his own projects.
That says alot for sure my friend., I just keep revisiting some of his earlier work and I am amazed at how sophisticated it was for the time . Also I am stunned at how many people are unaware of the genius of this man. I watched the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performance when he is performing 'While my guitar gently weeps' and the comments that people post are shocking . Which rock have they been under! To not know this guy is a genius is baffling .
I think the difference between people knowing him now and in the past, is that he was trying to be successful in the charts and the usual routes for musical/financial success - and his record company were pimping him like there was no tomorrow.
But he was brave and intelligent enough to get rid of them, and now doesn't need the charts - people who know his genius are the ones who look :) and they get such a beautiful surprise when they find it :)
@cadillacstr8mk i used 2 get so much flack when i was 12 for listening to Princey in 1986. I adored Venus de Milo and was so amazed by the compositions and strings arrangements by Claire Fisher as well. I guess I was a kid with great taste and an appreciation for REAL talent...they dont music at all these days just trash like The Black Eyed Peas
Hey there is this guy named "pianoguy" with his own page that thinks Alicia Keys is the sh#@ . But he needs to look at this page and get an understanding of what real music is all about ! My man Prince has been doing this since the 70's and thats what it's about . Not being promoted by Clive Davis and being heralded as the greatest when you just got your feet wet ! That goes for Beyonce and Rihanna as well.
@cadillacstr8mk AMEN..TO WHICH 2 OUT OF THE 3 U MENTIONED REDID A FEW OF HIS SONGS..OH BOY HOW I WISHED I HAD A TATSE OF THAT KINDA TALENT..STILL I JUST KEEP ON WRITING AND LOOKING FOR APUBLISHER..
@cadillacstr8mk Beyonce,Rhianna and alot of these young saps are just a dime a dozen! Its 2011 and im 38 now and im still listening to Princey (and this soundtrack) and I realize one thing! Damn, I was a 13yr old whom had really great taste in music. I discovered jazz,Joni Mitchell and The Beatles because of Prince! That says alot in my book
I always really liked it - even when it was first out - well a few years after cos I got in to prince a bit later on - I thought it was fun, funny, sad with great music :D
How big of a hater of music do you have to be to dislike this?

People saying this is the same as "An Honest Man" on the Crystal Ball album are talking out of their fuckin arses - it doesn't sound anything like it.
Even if the titles are the same - the music is different.

I don't know, I suppose it's called incidental music - I'd like it to become available though because I love Prince's piano playing.
There was a section on his Lovesexy tour where he played a piano medley and that was really good.

A very underrated film! The critics were very unkind to Prince on this movie, now it's a cult classic.
