I'm one of those orgers who kind of lost enthusiasm for Prince and NPG in the mid 90's, so I only just bought Exodus. Still at work, wasting company time on the net, so won't hear it til I get home. Is it good?

The jams are great, the only real stinker for me is "Cherry Cherry". The long segues are funny the first time you hear them, but they get a bit annoying after a few listens. *** / *****

One of Prince's most under appreciated cd's.

Hey, I could do with getting that too, where did you find it?

Brilliant funk-fest of an album. I wish he would release more like it!

.....

I love it.

Count The Days
The Good Life
Cherry Cherry
Get Wild
and especially Return Of The Bumpsquad is off the hook.

If you like it, be sure and get all of the B-Sides and Remixes too, there are lots.

Maidstone Cash Converters. For a quid

I never liked all that "I is one tough motherfucking nigga" posing, myself - always thought it was a bit naff.

Besides that, however, the grooves themselves are pretty damn funky - but with a rhythm section like Michael B and Sonny T, how can you go wrong?!

Thanks

I LOVE Cherry, Cherry I just wish it was Prince singing it. Reminds me of Another Lonely Xmas. Also, Exodus is so funky and rails against the record industry and goes on for EVER. I love that shit!

It's a great album. It's the little funkay brother of The Gold Experience!

Prince was never capable of doing a tune like Hallucination rain...

MikeMatronik said:

Exodus Has Begun, Return of the Bumpsquad, Hallucination Rain, and the mashed potato girl segue with Prince voicing a mafia goon are WORTH IT.

"Generation after generation, the funk will NEVA die!"

That's the mashed potato girl...she's, she's great.

Peep this site:

In my opinion, the best version of The Most Beautiful Girl In The World can be found on the Get Wild 3-track CD. It's an instrumental, with Erik Leeds on sax playing the vocal lines.

This is the only CD with this version on it.

And the Count The Days 3-track CD has a completely different version of New Power Soul than on the NPG New Power Soul album.

has this stuff been booted onto a set?

ufoclub said:

Probably. But that's not really a boot.
It would be a counterfeit.

This guy is a great source for legit CD singles on the cheap:

Three things bug me about this cd:

1) the segues - hearing once or twice is fine but after a while they begin to annoy

2) the excessive cussing - I swear like a sailor and it was irritating hearing people swear just for the hell of it.

3) Prince does not sing lead on all the songs. - my biggest peeve with this album.

Other than that it's a pretty good cd from that era.
