Prince is one of the most venerable, outrageously original musicians of the 80s. He resembles a pint sized pimp dressed like a Renaissance painting and he sings like an amalgam of James Brown and Jimi Hendrix. Not only is he a gifted vocalist and musi cian, he is also a prolific lyricist who writes like a pornographic Tennessee Williams. Prince's latest LP, Purple Rain, is also the sound track to the upcoming film based loosely on his life. And this album follows Prince's reputation for never producing the same style on every new effort. """ The record opens up with "Lett Go Crazy," a palpi tating pean to God, heaven and Beverly Hills. Most of the first side consists of bizarre love songs the most powerful being "Darling Nikki," a salacious serenade to a girl masurbating in a hotel lobby. The start of the second side blasts out the sizzling new single "When Doves Cry." This tune has every bit of the surreal sensuality and erotic lyricism that shot the 1999 LP to best-sellerdom last year. The last song worth mentioning on this side is the track "Purple Rain " an engaging, melodic fantasy crammed full of crooning and psychadelic libido. Hardcore Prince fans may be abit disappointed in this album as it lacks the driving force of 1999 and the political awareness of I982s Controversy, but it's still endearing enough to entice you. This LP is a must for summer listening in any case. Here's an album for everyone who likes the drag queen image of Boy George but hates his schmaltz laden music. The band is called Dead or Alive, and their debut album, Sophisticated Boom-Boom, is so hot it should have been pressed on absestos rather than vinyl. The British band's lead singer, Peter Burns, dresses in garish unisex pantsuits, has a mane of long, freaked-out hair and a pulsating voice that sounds like 10 banshees experiencing sweet torture. Burns' singing is about as feminine as a male hormone pill. And his lyrics are not lovey-dovey. The first side starts out With the scorching song "What I want," followed by a few more upbeat tunes that lead up to the incredibly eerie MTV hit "I'd Do Anything." This song is rife with libidinous lyrics, an obnoxious beat and orgasmic wails! Most enjoyable is the group's remake of KC and the Sunshine Band's "That's The Way I Like It," which is much more danceabie than the original. , . The second side has more of the same diabolically erotic stuff that is devoid of any tranquility. Burns' harmonizing keeps flowing with outrageous zeal and the band keeps the pace moving with plenty of percussion, gut-wrenching guitar rif& and scintillat ing synthesizer beats. The last cut on this side is moderately mellow; I guess the reason it's called "It's So Hard" is because the band has difficulty perform ing anything less than boisterous. Sleaze, ostentation and beat make Dead or Alive a band that rivals not only the Culture Club, but anyone else trying to make music history today. Pago 8 Dally Nebraskan Friday, July 6, 1984
