Exodus is nine years old today

March 27, 1995 - the NPG release Exodus in the UK (and elsewhere in Europe?).

Damn, that album is funky. That has grown on me a lot over time. Apart from Cherry, Cherry, which still pretty much sucks.

Who can beat songs like The Exodus Has Begun, Return Of The Bump Squad, Hallucination Rain, New Power Soul, Get Wild, Big Fun... some great stuff on this album.

As for the segues, I could do without most of them, although they added a few great quotes to my friends' repertoire, and over time I have come to believe that the Mashed Potato Girl story (actually called 'Segue' on the album, placed after 'Mashed Potato Girl Intro) is one of the best things on the album.

Is the other character on the Mashed Potato Girl story played by Tony M? I can't think who else that would be. Sure sounds like Tony's voice.

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

If you listen closely, you'll find that actually both of the voices belong to Prince.

Cherry Cherry is a great light song. Don't hate, masturbate.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
