"The first cassette tape I ever owned. I still love listening to it. The first half is a lot stronger than the back half. David Coverdale started to figure out he could meld his blues based arena rock to the hair metal aesthetic and have a bunch of hits on his hands."Reply

It explores beautifully all the angles of that grief, and all the memories David wants to reminiscence about with his friend. It's about dealing with grief, and trying to move on. Musically it's Spoken Word Poetry, House, Art Pop and some other elements. This is a great album.)
This music is not usually my style. But its so heartfelt and so powerfully presented here that I fell under its sad and grief-filled and existential spell rather rapidly. It's a good album that can make me reminisce and feel newly the joys of friends now gone. And it is rare that an album makes me recollect the ones I loved and love now and want to call and reach out to them immediately. This album did that for me. The Poetry is good, the messages are harsh and real and relatable and brutal, and the tracks themselves, while nothing revolutionary or overwhelmingly brilliant, are tinged with such a beautiful and deep sadness. The samples and vocal snippets are excellent.
The genre tags are spoken word and progressive house with some elements of Hip Hop and Art Pop and sound collage. And that is a good enough description I suppose. It's all those things. But, more than that, this is a cohesive album all about the time the artist spent with his best friend and the feelings of loss from his death and his questions of where to go and what to do after the tragedy. It's about getting old, it's about what it means to be young and carefree. It's about a lot of things and consistently these themes are explored and fleshed out gorgeously. "[+]Reply
"How many artists can mix Pop, Hip-Hop, R&B and Funk of this way?. When I listen this it's like back to my childhood. I grew up while the radio played these songs. Still sounds really fresh .There is not a bad song on this album. Fergie is the atraction but William as a producer was amazing!"Reply
"Gordon Lightfoot writes poetry. Then he wraps it up in beautiful folk melodies that soothe your soul or stir your emotion. Pure genius, and should be noticed more."Reply
"Motor Booty Affair is my favourite Parliament album. It even stands tall above many Funkadelic albums, which are typically my preferred between the dual P-Funk acts.

It even stands tall above many Funkadelic albums, which are typically my preferred between the dual P-Funk acts. It's the funnest, funniest, grooviest, slickest of the bunch, with every track being killer. Even its cover is awesome.
Mr. Wiggles (and Giggle and Squirm) opens the album, following the Parliament trend of opening up albums with supreme rapability, and it introduces the theme of the album: aqua boogie.
Rumpofsteelskin follows and grooves with a dozen irresistably catchy tunes. Perfect for the dancefloor, it's a track that never fails to excite and uplift.
One of the album's hits, Water Sign, is one of the band's very best. This song melds a laidback, aquatic atmosphere with a tinge of freak and straight-faced humour. I can put this song on at any time of any day and be helplessly mesmerized.
Aquaboogie is another consummate piece of dancefloor funk along the lines of Rumpofsteelskin. Pure joy. The intro never fails to make me laugh, too.
One of Those Funky Things is a mildly intense track veiled by a lighthearted facade, driven by hard hitting bass, brilliant production and stellar female vocals. That harmonising "let's get ahhh" grabs me every time, and there's something about the pacing of it that makes it very special.
Liquid Sunshine is in the same vein of the previous track, with a very poppy, upbeat melody. It defines the carefree, joyous feeling of this album that I adore so much.
The Motor-Booty Affair is the best song here. As with Water Sign, it has an indescribable vibe to it that utterly entrances, and as with One of Those Funky Things, it has an undercurrent of menace - both of which help make it a unique song unlike anything I've heard. It grooves harder than any other song here, too, which is what makes it my favourite.
Deep took a little while to grow with me... but now I'm wondering why. It's the longest track here, and the most repetitive, echoing the standard of Parliament's next album, Gloryhallastoopid, but that doesn't stop it from being groovy as hell. As with every song on the album, it's so damn catchy, and has a great feel to it.
I absolutely love this album. It's a new romance, but I cherish it, and I enjoy it more every single time I listen to it. It's an album with an aura... it makes you feel a certain way when listening - and albums like this are the ones I hold closest to my heart. They're the most memorable and engaging."[+]Reply

It’s difficult to describe this album with much clarity. It has a pop sensibility to it, but it keeps you on edge, you don’t know what’s going to happen. Here and there, Arthur Ashin (the man behind the Autre Ne Veut pseudonym) throws in a bit of dissonance, or a flash of guitar, just about anything you can think of, it keeps you paying attention, not knowing what’s coming along the next musical corner. And then there’s Ashin’s voice, which is so good. He can seriously nail some notes on falsetto, some very high notes, doing it a lot on this album. Some call it “over-singing", I love it. It’s passionate and it’s powerful, just like this album. Absolutely worth listening to, it’s a phenomenal album."[+]Reply
