Prince’s masterpiece is a difficult and dense album, emotionally open and worldly aware. It was born of three projects that shifted as bands and relationships were dissolved. Proof that the very prolific artist needed an editor as the triple album he presented label was rejected and after whiddling it down to two - his most powerful and original statement was born. As usual it somehow was of the moment while incorporating the past and stretching music to the future. A touchstone and the end of an era.
