re:  Prince and the jazz virus
Let's face it, folks.  Prince went off the deep end circa 1984. The 
true majesty of his early albums - not including the first two, which
are largely testaments to the joy of camp - was found in the element 
of the ONE-MAN-SHOW.  Whether one called him an extremist in terms of 
artistry or egotism, there can be little debate concerning the intimacy 
and brilliance of D Mind, Cversy, and 1999.  I won't delve into 
psychological history - I've never even had lunch with the man - but 
it seems quite apparent that when Prince works alone, he's brilliant, 
and when he collaborates, he falls square on his ass.  The little guy 
was so distracted by his jazz pretensions that it took him until the
past year to discover sampling.  Leave "jamming" to Phish. rip,prn.

The Human League way back.

Also they did stuff with the SOS band, also in the early 80's.

I just received an interesting P.Funk update (you may know about this
already):

George Clinton and the P.Funk All-Stars were invited to perform at the
other Clinton's inaugural celebration on Wednesday. They played at the
"Youth Ball" (nice compliment to a 50-year old veteran like George!),
and Mr. Bill himself stopped by to hold a short speech shortly before
the P.Funk All-Stars played their 1978 hit "One Nation Under A Groove"
(should be a serious contender whenever the U.S. are looking for a new
national anthem <g>).

There are not too many photos around to document the historical event
"Clinton Meets Clinton" - according to George's manager, "the President
doesn't really like people pointing shiny things at him" <g>.

Actually, George's people were very surprised about the invitation -
considering Tipper Gore's previous heroic efforts to fight "dirty"
lyrics. But the P.Funkers were assured that they could do exactly the
same show they did in a D.C. club where the inauguration ball
organizers (who said they were fans of George's music) had previously
seen them. (BTW, enquiring minds in Clinton's clan found out that
Tipper Gore supposedly likes the reggae band Steel Pulse.)

Clinton is planning to attend to Midem (music industry meeting in
Cannes/France) to find a label interested in re-releasing the
Funkadelic albums of the late '80s.

BTW, the P.Funk All-Stars are playing in Cleveland/OH's Front Room this
Friday (01/29) and will continue their U.S. tour in February. I'll talk
to the promoter later this week and will post the dates.

OK, I've read down this far and still haven't seen the definitive answer
posted but since Steeleye Span was mentioned I'll jump in now.  First, I'm
not sure what's on the "Best Of" collection but next on your list should
probably be "Below the Salt" or "Parcel of Rogues".

However, the definitive group that I was thinking of is being discussed
over in alt.music.progressive right now.  They are "Gryphon".  Look for
"Red Queen to Gryphon 3".  They even use many medieval instruments and 
sort of sound like a really old Speeleye Span.

The Ladyslipper catalog I mentioned in an earlier post seem to list

Heaven's Open is not that bad, I believe that you have to be in the right mood
to listen to any of these albums. I find that I have the same trouble with
JMJ.
You've also got to remember that HO was his last virgin album on his contract
so he most probably couldn't give a damn how good it was, since virgin had 
treated him pretty badly. Never mind he made up for it with TBII.

I agree wholeheartedly.  Actually, the saltarello that leads off *A Passage

I disagree.  I haven't been able to find anything on Earth Moving that I
enjoy.  On Islands, I like the two first tracks just fine, but the rest is
dreck.  On Heaven's Open, I _love_ "Music From the Balcony", and the "pop"
tracks aren't so bad that I _always_ skip them -- I only do so sometimes.
But Balcony makes the CD worthwhile to own, unlike Earth Moving IMHO.  (I'd
sell it, but my wife likes it.  Go Figure.)

       It's a good album.  I bought it years ago on LP but was always
disappointed with the "noise" present during the quite passages.  The wide
dynamic range of the album was such that the quite parts just disappeared
into the surface noise of the vinyl.  Or so I thought.
      So naturally OTB was one of the first special orders I made when I
bought my first CD deck.  Got it import and had to pay like $19 for it.  I
quickly discovered that the surface noise is actually tape hiss from the
original master recording.  <sigh>  The violin intro is lovely, but is
marred by the amount of noise in the master recording.  If you can get
beyond the quiet parts though OTB is a great album and one that I
recommend highly.
