How can a movie with atrociously bad acting, a wafer thin script and haphazard direction be released as a Two Disc Special Edition DVD? Well, for all its flaws, and there are many, Purple Rain is a gloriously entertaining film and one of the films that personifies the "me" decade that was the 1980s. Ninety-eighty four was supposed to be the ominous year of Orwell and big brother, but instead, 1984 was ruled by the Purple Prince. In 1984, Prince managed to have the number one album, number one single and number one film at the same time, something that only the Beatles and Elvis Presley had accomplished before him.
Mr. Moonlight is the eighth studio album by American rock band Foreigner, released in 1994. The album was the first full-length release with original singer Lou Gramm since 1987's Inside Information. (Gramm had left the band in 1990, but re-joined in 1992.) Prior to recording this album, Gramm also sang lead on three newly recorded tracks on Foreigner's 1992 best-of compilation…
British blue-eyed soul man Frankie Miller had a great voice, a strong knack as a songwriter, and some pretty unfortunate luck with producers and arrangers. While he cut some solid sides with Brinsley Schwarz as his backing band and did even better work in the company of the legendary Allen Toussaint, the sad truth is there are as many duds as gems in his catalog, usually due to mismatched assistance in the studio. 1985's Dancing in the Rain paired Miller with producer and engineer John Jansen, who tricked him up with a morass of hard rock guitars, high-mixed drums, and periodic sax honks that suggest Jansen was hoping to turn Miller into the next Robert Palmer, since on the surface this album resembles Palmer's "Addicted to Love" era and Power Station hits more than anything else…
A stylistic, and modern take on the popular art rock of the 70's. Huge, lush arrangements with unforgettable hooks, and powerfully dynamic changes. Listeners hear references to ELO, Queen, Pink Floyd; along with Oasis, The Devlins, World Party, and Travis.
