Also, I can not agree more that it is the Prince is criminally underrated masterpiece! Certainly not without reason called critics, and even the master himself this album as imperfect, but that's what makes the charm for me, since a perfect balancing act between mainstream and "Underground" is achieved by this indicated improvisation moments. Also Prince`s friendship with Miles Davis has left their mark on him, you can hear it for the first time often dominant wind, for Eric Leeds was in charge at that time already. Admittedly, who is looking for more simple pop songs ala "Purple Rain" or "1999", for this work will be used to, but it would be pure sacrilege PARADE ignore or dismiss it as a half-baked experiment. In plain English: PARADE is a perfect combination of a lot of jazz, a lot of radio, a little chanson, rock, beautiful ballads and Kiss; o]. So a must-have for anyone who is concerned with the development of modern music, and for each Princefan anyway ...
