Editorial Reviews

While the final decade of the millennium was the busiest in the career of The Artist (now publicly known as Prince...again), the hits were few and far between. This is the decade for which his purple badness will be remembered either for his personal crusade against Warner Bros. or for wearing out the patience of his fans, who found it harder to dig his new, painfully self-indulgent, releases. But even if his spring of radio hits dries up, the MF still knows how to turn a party out. Rave Un2… captures Prince on the eve of the year 2000 in his Paisley Park studio, treating a spirited crowd to the mega-party he sang about on "1999." Like his recent albums, Prince welcomes in a cast of funk and soul legends, from bass player Larry Graham (Sly & The Family Stone) and JB sax maestro Maceo Parker to P-Funk leader George Clinton and Morris Day & the Time. Armed with his guitar, Prince and his New Power Generation tear through a blazing set, which includes mostly old hits ("Purple Rain," "Let's Go Crazy," "Baby I'm a Star" and (duh!) "1999"), a few covers ("Everyday People"), and a whole lotta extended funk jams. Prince turns up the heat on "U've Got the Look" and "Kiss," while he assists Lenny Kravitz on "American Woman," adding even more sex and funk to the mix. If the former glyph's recent body of work has gotten you down, this non-stop funkfest will restore your faith in his genius.
