kinda cheesy but not bad - I LOVE THAT SOUND tho! Linn Drum machine still rocks after all these years!! --- i think they need to add to the song a bit more = pretty basic.

This should satisfy your appetite then.

MGMT with "Electric Feel" obviously has a Prince sound to it. I've heard Basement Jaxx has a vey Prince inspired sound but I'm not too familiar with them.

It's dodgy ground to say that someone is 'copying' Prince, but in terms of artists that are very very very similar, I'd say:

Plantlife/Jack Splash
Harmar Superstar


and then there are a bunch of artists who are clearly influenced by Prince:

Outkast - Speakerboxx and The Love Below
Basement Jaxx - 'Remedy' album, especially 'Get me Off'
Beck's Midnight Vultures album
The Neptunes early production work - Kelis, ODB, Britney, Timberlake etc.
Felix da Housecat
Amp Fiddler
D'Angelo - Voodoo album
Timbaland / Missy Eliot
Will.I.Am
Unklejam (for those of us in the UK who remember them)

And so the list goes on...
