And now that I'm an icon let's make some art.......2007-03-16

For all of the earthshattering impact that Purple Rain had on the popular music universe, Around the World in a Day seems to be the Prince album that means the most to me these days. "Condition of the Heart" is really the core of the album for me. We have the Indian influenced title track and then the Beatles-inspired "Paisley Park" and "Condition of the Heart" just changes everything up totally. I've had some deep conversations with a good musical friend about this track and what it means and how the operatic quality of it totally meshes with the lyrical content. It's saddening and deep and meaningful and helps hyperintellectual cats like myself find connection with the sadness and blues and Spirits that we wrestle with when we meditate on the frustrations of love.

And the rest of the album is pretty good too. "Tambourine" is an oft-overlooked track, but it hangs will with future spare funk jams like "Housequake". "Pop Life" and "Raspberry Beret" are the two killer singles. "America" is really filler to me and stuff like "Partyup" on "Dirty Mind" puts it to shame.

This album is not as airtight as "Purple Rain" from a pop perspective. But Prince showed a lot of audacity going for a sound like this after The Industry expected him to just keep cranking out singles like Michael Jackson went "Bad" after "Thriller".

And to think in one of my previous musical philosophical incarnations I though Prince was profane and I couldn't dig it...

Ashamed to think about that looking back....

Around the World in a Day..........2007-02-15

Bought this remastered ($7US). This album for me yielded two tunes:

1. Raspberry Beret (good song...weak video)
2. Pop Life (an interesting song, if I do say so...)

Still, this is Prince. No one could really match the body of work that the man had put out up until this disc. Three stars!!

Uncompromised.......2006-04-04

It's amazing that a musician as sonically adventurous as Prince would become one of the biggest pop stars in the world, but in the 1980's that's just what happened. And yet at the height of his popularity, Prince never seemed to try to cater to the masses. "Around the World in a Day", which followed the runaway success of "Purple Rain", is evidence of Prince's uncompromised vision. Easily the most experimental album of his career, Prince combines Beatles-like psychadelia (the title track), classical music ("Condition of the Heart"), political protest ("America"), standard Prince libido ("Tamborine") and good old-fashioned pop ("Raspberry Baret"). "ATWIAD" is second only to "Sign 'o the Times" as my personal favorite Prince album.

This album is so beautiful........2006-01-19

I love Prince music. Some looked at this album as a step down from Purple Rain but that is complete b.s. It is more of a creative artistic move from Prince and The Revolution. My personal favorite track is The Ladder. The back up vocals are superb from Wendy, Lisa, Susannah, and Taja Sevelle. I love it.

Welcome to Paisley Parc, The World of Prince!.......2005-11-29

After the albums 1999 and Purple Rain, Prince was already multi-selling superstar and he could basically do what he wanted, he went one step further again and released a album that is pop-psychedelic with songs simular to Beatles "Sgt. Pepper" but with more pop. This album wasn't the biggest hit and critics often critisize it for it differences from previous albums. However, they're all wrong. This album is fantastic, both musically since it feautures loads of fascinating instruments and lyrically it explores new levels of Prince's brillianct song writing. The colourful cover of this album is a good way of descibing it's versatility. "Around the World In One Day" is too unique too not be enjoyed.

It starts with the title track, it got both African percussion, flutes and a whole lot off odd instruments. It stands for a good intro to what is coming. "Paisley Parc" his second song was also his new label. Musically it gives a good preview on the psychedelia. The song is about an utopia, (an alternate world) where everything is good and people get along. "Condition of the Heart" is a ballad, it starts with piano 2:30 minute before he starts singing. This melancholy song is exceptionally long, no hit single but good ballad. "Raspberry Baret" was the big hit from this album! And listening to it you can understand why, it's cathcy as hell. "Raspberry beret, The kind U find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret, And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more"

"Tambourine" is really odd, but coming from Prince and this album in particular I'm not surprised. "Close my eyes what's it like,What's it like inside your tamborine?" and "All alone by myself Me and I play my tamborine". "America" is funky as hell (Especially it's riff), the song itself critisise political America and it's fight to destroy communism in the 80's instead of taking care of it's own citizen. We can draw paralles today to the Iraq War that's been a political priority. "Pop Life" is my favorite pick of this album, it's a very cathcy song and it's about how celebrity status can change people's life for the worse. So true.

"The Ladder" is simply amazing, it a slow paced song that feautures saxophone, it's starts spoken where Prince desribes a king from the land of sinapeny that didn't deserve to be. He doesn't do anything right and does not know where he comes from. Neither the love from Electra is adeqaute for him, all he wants is "The Ladder". The song is about finding yourself I think, and finding the right path in life. Something that is very difficult, for everyone. If you wanted something very heavy, the you got it with "Temptation". It feautures horns and heavy guitar riffs. The song is about what the title suggest.

Overall, A diffrent but fantastic album, Prince had the guts to record a very unique album, both musically and lyrically. The album is not as much about tabu's and sex as other album, this one's more political and personal. Before you listen to critics, listen to the album yourself and you should enjoy this other side of Prince.
