Vinylrausch #64 will finally be playing soul and funk again on Thursday, April 18 at 7:30 pm at the Sputnik-Kino am Südstern!
Album of the month is Purple Rain ( 1984) by Prince, which was released forty years ago with hits such as 'Take Me With You', 'When Doves Cry' and 'Let's Go Crazy'. Prince became a superstar with this captivating mixture of rock, soul and funk.
Ten years earlier, Melvin van Peebles, one of the most influential pioneers of the blaxploitation movement, released a forgotten funk/soul album. With What the ... You Mean, I Can't sing?! (1974) marks the beginning of VR #64.
D'Angelo is a hero of neo-soul. Ten years ago, his monumental, purely analog produced album Black Messiah (2014) was released.
Vinylrausch pays tribute to music albums as works of art and plays them loud as in a concert, in a dark movie theater, with an introduction and the song lyrics on the screen.
