What the *%#@ Being a fan of Prince (and members of his backing band) since the beginning, I was naturally pissed when the Revolution got the boot. BUT I’m listening to the aborted Dream Factory album and I can hear that it was definitely time for them to go! Hard to say how I would have felt about this album in 1987 but I know that I wouldn’t have enjoyed it as much as SOTT. | |

well I've never listened to Wendy and Lisa's solo shit, and I've never been compelled to - so I'll take your word for it.  | |

It's very strange as Wendy and Lisa's first two solo albums are really, really good. The first one sounds like it could have been a companion to Parade. The second one is just straight up funky. See if you can find an mp3 of "Are You My Baby". I bought LP & CD of each and they all got heavy play. I guess that's why it's such a shock to hear how lame these last recordings with P were. A number of them are on the NPG Crystal Ball release but they weren't my fave selections on that release either. | |

W&L have become much better since leaving Prince, I love their solo stuff. Just need to get GirlBros now.

You think that The Dream Factory sounds like the Revolution (well...Wendy & Lisa) on their last legs?
Without that, we wouldn't HAVE some of Sign O' The Times. Personally, I think some of the versions on Dream Factory are superior to the SOTT versions. And NOBODY can touch 'All My Dreams'.!! | |

I don't want to ruffle any feathers here and I hope I'm not dissing W&L or P. I'm definitely pro Wendy & Lisa. I just think that they all did much better after the split. | |

I agree. I love W&L in the Revolution, but their music was much better when they got "Emancipated"! "So strange that no one stayed at the end of the Parade..." - Wendy & Lisa's "Song About" on their 1987 self-titled album.
