Note that this was the last Parliament song for which Bernie Worrell receives a writing credit. The track has lead-swapping vocals, including Ron Ford, who was new to P.Funk at that time, but who would have a big influence on the later P.Funk albums. It's an extremely engaging dance tune that again includes Catfish Collins chiming in with a great guitar riff. It also features a heavy handclap percussive effect. The lead is Mudbone Cooper, I believe.
Keyboards are dominant here, though a guitar solo kicks in towards the end.
The Affair is a huge party featuring every citizen of Atlantis, with the vocalists being part of a band performing at the party. Musically, the track is a bit repetitive, but the groove is solid. Lyrically, it's the most directly satirical song, tweaking mainstream views on race and government. The album is certainly one of the very best, with no real weak tracks. It deserves to be considered as one of the greatest Parliament recordings.
