... 'Purple Rain', a film written as a semi autobiographical account of a young, talented boy growing up in a tough and poor neighbourhood failed to attract any form of positive recognition. The critics jumped all over it calling it pretentious and a waste of money. The soundtrack, on the ... Read review

Vanity And Insanity..
Review of Purple Rain (Original Soundtrack) - Prince & The Revolution/Original Soundtrack by sam1942

Advantages: Prince stamps his mark in music history...
Disadvantages: Over twenty years old, this album shows its age...

...donned a Louis XIV wig, purple frills, straddling a purple motorbike and rode it as his entrance on stage. We could forget for one moment that it has been over two years since any releases from him. Hard to believe he is soon to be 48. 'Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life….' like a James Brown sermon in The Blues Brothers, we open this album with Prince the Preacher dictating to us his understanding of ...
...this circus piece from the purple big top….. 'When The Doves Cry' was number one in the U.S and number four in the U.K when it was released in June 1984. The first track from this album it cuts to the chase with its hard hitting lyrics with equally cold blooded drum machine. Starting with a riff that would sound at home on a Jimi Hendrix track, the track consists at first of just a voice lowered to sound hard and cold hearted and a steady drum machine. ... Read review

Let Me Guide U Thru The Purple Rain
Review of Purple Rain (Original Soundtrack) - Prince & The Revolution/Original Soundtrack by EnglishPatient

Advantages: prince at his most dazzling, accessible and enjoyable
Disadvantages: Only 9 songs...17 Days (B-side of When Doves Cry) should have been included for a start

1984 was the year of Purple Rain. The album, the film, the phenomenon. In his native America, Prince spent an astonishing 24 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Album Chart with this masterful mix of explosive, effervescent and tender pop/rock. Assimilating some of the great icons of black music - Hendrix, Little Richard, James Brown - into his already blossoming musical canon, the Purple One struck pure gold. The previous year's double-album "1999" had ...
...as it may seem now, Purple Rain was considered a somewhat left-field success at the time. Once it had cast its spell over audiences across the globe thanks to some truly awesome single releases (When Doves Cry in particular), it of course entered modern pop-culture history...but only then. In Britain, the album was a slow-starter. It took several months to reach its peak position of # 7, but ended up spending almost two years on the chart. Purple ... Read review

A TIMELESS CLASSIC
Review of Purple Rain (Original Soundtrack) - Prince & The Revolution/Original Soundtrack by Martin.rowley

Advantages: Very good, different and original
Disadvantages: none

...on the album - PURPLE RAIN - there cant be anyone alive that was about in the 80's that never heard this song. Its a very slow song, never intended to be a dance hit or anything like that, in fact it fits into no other category that i know apart from 'Prince'... "I never meant 2 cause u any sorrow" "I never meant 2 cause u any pain" "I only wanted 2 one time see u laughing" "I only want to see u laughing in the Purple rain" An absolute classic. ...
...man with the high voice, I'm sure that if you listened to this album and some of the lyrics then there is something for everyone. A definate classic from the early Prince, set aside and very much in front of the other music in the charts at that time. ... Read review

Review of Purple Rain (Original Soundtrack) - Prince & The Revolution/Original Soundtrack by genn133423

Advantages: amazing soundtrack,Great to look at
Disadvantages: Not nearly long enough for Prince fans

...in the mists of time-The purple one has never again reached such a pinnacle as he did with his band The Revolution, as he did playing The Kid in this semi-autobiographical music fest.It follows the rising sucess of a struggling young musical genius,who goes thru all the angst you d expect from such a film-true love, the ups and downs of quarrelling parents, the fight within himself to become a star, and protect those he loves.The songs are easily ...
