his stuff can sound overproduced. Thats why his newer music tends to kick harder live.

His music has been overproduced since at least the album.

The original version (or at least a more raw version) of Endorphinmachine is much better than the album version. There are plenty of examples of Prince's overproduction.

Graffiti Bridge is another example of this, almost all the songs on it are better in their original out take form, in particular "we can funk" and "Can´t stop....."
