Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential recording:
Calling this one of Prince's most interesting albums doesn't do justice to how kicky and playable it is. The soundtrack from his failed romantic comedy Under the Cherry Moon, the disc often sounds like a preview of the supremely surefooted quirkiness of its follow-up, the classic Sign o' the Times. Marrying lean funk grooves to over-the-top orchestrations and trying his hand at Parisian balladry and a hushed, Pet Sounds-style instrumental, he triumphs as few other record makers did in 1986. --Rickey Wright

This is one of Prince's richest and most colorful releases. He covers an awful lot of ground stylistically in a pretty short amount of time, so there's little consistency in tone and sound, and that ends up being both an asset AND a weakness on this album. The good thing though is that even the weakest material isn't so much bad as it is just really, really mediocre, so the album still ends up making for a pretty solid listen throughout (some people think "Venus De Milo" and "Do U Lie?" are really ...

Prince-Parade ***1/2
This is rare of a Prince album released in the 1980's. almost everyone of his albums from that decade broke new ground musically one way or another and this one really fails to do so, which is really disappointing. Parade is the soundtrack to Prince's second film "Under A Cherry Moon" which was meant to be a romantic comedy but came off as awkward and flopped horribly. They album however didn't flop because of the hit single 'Kiss' but with out that this album would ... Read More

After Purple Rain broke Prince big, he made his first of many decisions that baffled fans and critics alike: he abandoned his signature funk-rock sound and put on a trippy sheen. This resulted in the "whimsical" personal displayed on Around the World in a Day. Then he filmed the infamous, widely panned vanity project Under the Cherry Moon (which I've never seen), and put this out as its soundtrack. It sure is a weird one - it opens with a good four part suite ("Christopher Tracy's Parade", "New Position", ... Read More

Usually when an album does not follow the success of a landmark album, the expectations for the second follow-up are not high. Not was the case when Prince would prepare to release his 1986"Parade" album. Prince was less than one year from his "Around the World in a Day" album which was the follow-up to his landmark album "Purple Rain". "Around the World in a Day" would go in a completely different direction from "Purple Rain" - abandoning the Rock-infused style of "Purple Rain" in favor of a psychedelic ... Read More

The intrigue of this soundtrack is that it shows Prince's range. Due to the blandness of the film, I think this CD is often overlooked for its merit. It widely swings from bare soulful depths (Sometimes it Snows...) to fun ensemble pieces (Christopher Tracy...) through the more established sound of Prince, between. The music from this release did not get much attention, but in terms of observing Prince's development as an artist, you can't overlook where this phase of his sound led him in later productions. ...
