Sign Of The Times

Product Description
From the NYHC scene with bands like Madball and Skarhead comes a hip-hop flavored, grim outlooked band called Son of Skam. Telling tales of urban blight from firsthand experiences, Sons of Skam mix the musical power of NYHC with the brutal truth of rap music to create a grisly yet accurate portrait of the true life of a hardcore thug in NYC. Be prepared to be appalled and shocked by the honesty of the rapper's styles and lyrical flow, but brace yourself harder for the backdrop of NYHC music kicking through your speakers. Featuring members of Skarhead and Lou from Sub Zero.

Amazon.com essential recording

It begins with the insistent drip-drop of a sequencer and ends with some old school R&B. In between, the artist who was still calling himself Prince unfurls an encyclopedia of moods, genres, and grooves. Widely heralded as a groundbreaker in 1987, when it was released, some of the music in oh-so-'80s synths sounds a bit dated. Yet this two-CD set is clearly the sound of a performer at the height of his power. On songs like the title track, "If I Was Your Girlfriend," and the thunderous "The Cross," Prince proves why the hype was justified. --Amy Linden

Master Piece.......2007-07-16

There are very few words that can describe the awesome musical prowess of Sign O' the Times.

The album is politically, musically, and socially interesting. Prince parties it up, politics it up, and then parties some more on this album.

This is without a doubt one of his top 3 albums of his career of-course with Purple Rain leading the way.

This album is just not for the fans, but for a generation of R&B and Funk lovers who treasure great music!

Sign O' the Times... simply a masterpiece for the ages!

Underappreciated genre-defying album.......2007-06-25

even with the recognition he has received, prince is one of the underacknowledged geniuses of rock 'n roll. as prolific as dylan or neil young, prince seemingly shifts genres and styles effortlessly, always creating interesting music, almost without peer in the current pop music scene. from sly stone to little richard to p-funk to joni mitchell, prince has assimilated and made his own a ridiculous range of styles and sounds.
this album is my favorite. it spans everything from gorgeous ballads [adore, slow love] to topical commentary [title track] to all-out funk [housequake] to pure pop [starfish and coffee]. prince is a brilliant vocalist and performer as well, ripping out santana-like solos and easily adopting a variety of vocal styles.

Prince of Princes.......2007-04-02

This is just as god as all of the other Prince works. It's a must buy.

prince.......2007-03-16

signs of time is a good cd. i wish that they put together a cd with his greatest slow songs on there. like Adore,International Lover, Purple Rain,Diamonds and Pearls. like a collection of all the songs over the course of time. if any one where i can get this let me know

It's not the White Album by the beatles but it's still great.......2007-02-08

There are a lot of reviews out there that raise this album to almost unapproachable levels. Bottom line: this is a solid - one of the most solid - offerings from Prince. Lot's of pop, rock, and funk songs.

I still say 1999 and Purple Rain stand out as the best of Prince but Sign 'O' the Times should still be in your collection.

One huge negative has to be mentioned!!! This cd needs to be remastered. The sound is awful. I finally burned it into ITunes and changed the equalizer settings to get a half way decent sound but remastering would be a great idea.

Almost one of his best.......2006-07-10

After the music phenomenons that were Michael Jackson's "Off The Wall" and "Thriller", as well as the mega-success of George Benson's "Give Me The Night", Quincy Jones's "The Dude" and a number of others, more or less everyone was clamouring to get on board the songs-written-by-Rod Temperton bandwagon. This is where Bob James first had his turn and so the title of the album is cheekily ironic.

The three Temperton contributions, "Hypnotique", "The Steamin' Feelin'" and the title track are predictable enough (especially to anyone familiar with his arrangements) but enjoyable as always nonetheless. There are those who argue that these are not jazz songs per se, but funky instumentals. Personally, I feel he treads the thin line between accessible jazz and bland supermarket background music, with aplomb. It's a close thing though.

Lurking behind these potential pop tunes (I do believe "Sing of the Times actually made it into the pop charts) lie the real treasures of this CD though. The self-penned "Enchanted Forest" and "Unicorn" are typical Bob James, deep and emotional with the ivories tinking and heartfelt. Jay Beckenstein of Spyro Gyra lends beautiful sax solos. The album ends with "Love Power" with a sublime sax solo from Grover Washington, Jr. Vocal support comes from the best session singers of the day, including Patti Austin and Luther Vandross.

This is a must for any Bob James fan and also for anyone looking for an easygoing introduction to jazz fusion. I have all of Bob James's CDs and while this is by no means his best, it is almost.

Absolutely my fovorite Bob James cd........2006-01-04

Totally and completey love this cd ...absolutely superb music period.

Musical Magic Again!.......2002-10-07

For his ninth contemporary jazz release, Bob James brings in the multitalented Rod Temperton, and an all-star vocal cast including Patti Austin, Lani Groves, Major Holley, Luther Vandross, and many others for what only can be described as pure musical magic. The macabre "Hypnotique" with its unintelligible vocals is the ultimate "daytime nightmare". The tempo picks up on the funky "The Steamin' Feeling". We are transported to magical lands with the dreamy "Enchanted Forest". Spyro Gyra frontman Jay Beckenstein shows his stuff on "Unicorn". Bob shows amazing dexterity on both the acoustic piano and Oberheim polyphonic synth. The title song features the vocal cast, as well as some interesting sound effects by Tabby Andriello. Major Holley's vocal solo is doubled by a bowed acoustic bass. "Love Power" (a Bob James original), again features the vocal ensemble plus guitarist Steve Khan, and a sultry solo by Grover Washington, Jr. Missing from this reissue is the original back cover from the vinyl LP, as well as the musician credits. Also this was NOT released in 1979, but in 1981.

A great album.......2002-02-03

The song Enchanted Forest didn't catch my attention for a while. I sometimes skipped it. The funky title song was the kind of thing I was looking for. But now Enchanted Forest is a song that I find mezmorizing.

Fabulous.......2001-09-25

I had this album as a kid, then forgot about it for about 20 years and i just got it again. it's amazing. if you like his 70s stuff, like "three" you'll love this.

don't bother.......2001-05-01

If you liked her CD "Warm Heart in a Cold World", (which was pretty cool acoustic music, with great songs that were interesting and worth hearing) don't bother with this one. There's nothing here but a wanna-be Lisa Loeb/Alanis M.

Awesome Powerhouse of Blues Energy.......1999-12-02

This past summer I was fortunate enough to visit the beautiful island of Maui where I saw gail perform at the Famous "Cheeseburger in Paradise" restaurant. Her voice is smoky yet energetic. she truly sings her mind and makes you want to listen if not actually agree! Her lyrics rock and I find myself listening to her three CDs all of the time, any type of mood I'm in. Her style is most like Fiona Apple mixed with Bonnie Raitt and well worth listening to. Buy the CD--guaranteed enjoyment=)
