I am just loving this track off Crystal ball, recorded in 1983, with him on a weird voice and gangter type growl and Morris Day on drums (?), its a powerful drum track. The conversation is interesting, hes talking about Alfred his half brother who was carried off to an institution in the early 70s. According to "Possessed" he was into James Brown, had a little Richard hair do and produced bills (Money?) from who knows where.
Does anyone know more about lfred, I feel this positive energy about him and the song (Bizarre psychic moment). Who else loves this track and can anyone else decipher its meaning further.

Its up there with "Theres others here with us" as one of his most bizarre and exciting tracks

love it!

i like it.

WOW I just thought he was talking junk I never knew of an Alfred Nelson. Love the song very funky.

it's great fun. and i like it.

i just wish it wasn't taking up 15 minutes of space on that disc which could have been used much more wisely (i.e., guitar solo on "Crucial" anyone?)

the song partially inspired my user-name

there was room anyway though, wasn't there? those disks aren't full.

good point.

he was clearly bored with the actual music in 1996 to... oh, maybe through Rave... when he's coming up with contrivances like making sure each of his discs is exactly 60 minutes or 49:49 or putting 4-second blank tracks in the running order.
