Product Description

CD Description

It's easy to dismiss this album as an unfocused mess--and many have. On GRAFFITI BRIDGE, Prince writes songs for colleagues to play; nine of the 17 cuts feature other artists suchas The Time, Mavis Staples, Tevin Campbell and George Clinton. And it is indeed messy. But the record's merits must be acknowledged too. At the top of this list is the song "Joy in Repetition", a slight narrative idea clung to, wrapped in dreamy bluesiness, and beautifully delivered. Also notable is "We Can Funk". Many have tried to reclaim George Clinton'sP-Funk contributions to butt-shaking music, but few have managed it without losing their own identity. Prince pulls it off.
Even some of Prince's missteps can be classified as brilliant mistakes, beautiful failures. The overtly Christian "Elephants and Flowers" is as preposterously rich and frothy as its title. "Thieves in the Temple's" sonic frou-frou has earned it fans, despite its greasy aftertaste. GRAFFITI BRIDGE is a funk experiment from a man who never rests on hislaurels.

4.0 out of 5 stars Graffiti Bridge, 11 April 2006
By Ted Maul "Ted Maul" (Cowsick) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Although the film is absolutely dreadful,the soundtrack to Graffiti Bridge is a actually pretty good-elephants & Flowers,Question Of U,We Can Funk,Can't Stop This Feeling I Got,New Power Generation and The Time's Release It are all great,and if the other tracks aren't as good half a good Prince album is better than what most other people can achieve.

3.0 out of 5 stars Joy in repetition - is it only me?, 9 Aug 2005
By Jane (Bristol UK) - See all my reviews
I think this is a very mixed album, but some of the tracks are great - Melody Cool, Love Machine and most of all Joy in Repetition. This track has my favourite ever guitar solo - IT IS BRILLIANT! Am I the only one who think this?

3.0 out of 5 stars Jane is completely right, 22 April 2006
By Carlos Lopez Alonso "chols" (Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I agree completely with Jane's review, specially regarding the "Joy in Repetition" track. It's amazing. Really, if you know someone who owns this CD, listen to it.

Overall the CD is a bit of a letdown, although for me these two or three outstanding songs make for the rest no so good ones. What I really think is that "Joy in Repetition" should be included in a future Prince compilation CD... along with some other tracks in this one.
