Prince - "The Rainbow Children"
(Redline Entertainment, US-Import)

Da war er plötzlich wieder da, der Mann, der sich dann doch wieder Prince nannte.
Suddenly there he was again, the man who now calls himself Prince again.

Abgeschrieben hatte man ihn bereits nach allen überfrachteten Doppel- und Dreifach-CDs, die der genialische Winzling aus Minneapolis in den vergangenen Jahren unters Volk gejubelt hatte.
The genius "winzling" [???] from Minneaopolis was easily written off after all the overloaded double and triple albums he released to the people during the past years.

Das jüngste Werk ist dank desaströser Streitereien mit der Plattenindustrie nur als US-Import zu erhalten, es sei denn, man erwirbt es direkt über die Website der Prince-Community New Power Generation.
His latest work is, thanks to desastrous disputes with the recording industry, only avaliable on US import, allthough it can also be purchased directly from the website from the Prince community New power Generation.

Eine lohnenswerte Investition, denn mit "The Rainbow Children" öffnete Prince ein neues Kapitel seines abwechslungsreichen Musikschaffens.
A worthy investment, because with the Rainbow Children Prince opens a new chapter of his awe-inspiring musical craft.

Als christlich motiviertes Konzeptalbum schlägt es einen zunächst haarsträubenden Bogen vom angestammten Power-Funk über Rock und Pop bis hin zu Musical-Elementen.
As a Christian motivated concept album it builds an goos bumping bow from stomping powerfunk over to rock and pop on to musical elements.

Wer hier zuweilen Tim Rices Rockoper "Jesus Christ Superstar" heraushört, muss sich nicht wundern.
One who may hear some Tim Rices Rockoper "Jesus Christ Superstar" in this shouldn't be surprised.

Stärkster Einfluss aber ist der Jazz.
The strongest influence however is jazz.

Auf der im Herbst zelebrierten "One Night Alone"-Tournee, die ihn auch nach Deutschland führte, deutete Prince an, in welch instrumental inspirierte Richtungen er sich demnächst noch versteigen könnte.
During the "One night alone" tour, celebrated last fall, which also brought him to Germany, Prince made it clear in which instrumental inspired directions he can still improve himself.

Neben der neuen Verspieltheit gibt es noch viele andere juwelenartige Details auf "The Rainbow Children" zu bestaunen.
Next to the new playfullness there are many other juwel like details on "The Rainbow Chlidren" to discover.

Verblüffender Höhepunkt: Die sanft walzernde Ballade "She Loves Me 4 Me": Purer Pop in klanglicher Brillanz, die einem die Tränen in die Augen treibt.
Staggering highlight: the softly walzing ballade "She loves me 4 me": pure pop brilliance, that drives tears in ones eyes.
[lol]

Mit Prince muss man rechnen. Mehr denn je.
One has to acknowledge Prince. More now than ever.

It doesn't surprise me.Europeans are generally much more sophisticated than Americans.

Why isn't TRC nominated for a Grammy? Can it be that it's
simply beyond the current "Grammy League"? They seem to
nominate more along the lines of commercial sales than
actual songcraft.

Oh, I didn't see that it doesn't show what I copied. Sorry!

The only thing I would correct is the line "...Prince made it clear in which instrumental inspired directions he can still improve himself."
"Improve" would mean to become better. But I think the author rather meant: "...Prince made it clear in which instrumental inspired directions he might dive into next."
