Description
This album has many similarities to the first in that it presents a jazz based sound in general but in this case the funk is turned up much heavier and the musical concept is more coherent as sound samples from The Godfather. Throughout another set of eight cuts this album is a jazz-funk extravaganza in keeping with Prince's own music at the time. There's also even more of a full band flavor as Sheila E is present on drums and her somewhat insistent sound gives all of these songs an instant sense of musical direction. Especially impressive is the heavily reverbed rhythm of the monster "Eleven",with it's insistent chants of "BABY DOLL HOUSE" throughout the song. "Thirteen" was actually released as a single and reveals itself as a very Prince oriented variety of funk for sure and it's obvious in that respect why it was released as a single. "Twelve" is a swinging number led by Eric Leeds and is among the jazzier of the tunes here along with the very Joe Zawinul/Weather Report sounding world fusion closer of "Sixteen". The two Madhouse projects represented some of the most ambitious and musicianly albums Prince ever had a hand in and even though they weren't enormous commercial smashes and were somewhat out of the mainstream musically at the very least Prince had the good sense to at least have these albums released to see what happened.
