Product Description

Fresh expands and brightens the slow grooves of There's a Riot Goin' On, turning them, for the most part, into friendly, welcoming rhythms. There are still traces of the narcotic haze of Riot, particularly on the brilliant, crawling inversion of "Que Sera Sera," yet this never feels like an invitation into a junkie's lair. Still, this isn't necessarily lighter than Riot — in fact, his social commentary is more explicit, and while the music doesn't telegraph his resignation the way Riot did, it comes from the same source. So, Fresh winds up more varied, musically and lyrically, which may not make it as unified, but it does result in more traditional funk that certainly is appealing in its own right. Besides, this isn't conventional funk — it's eccentric, where even concise catchy tunes like "If You Want Me to Stay" seem as elastic as the opener, "In Time." That's the album's ultimate charm — it finds Sly precisely on the point where he's balancing funk and pop, about to fall into the brink, but creating an utterly individual album that wound up being his last masterwork and one of the great funk albums of its era ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

スカスカのファンクミュージック。音の隙間が快感。明らかにプリンスはアルバム「パレード」でこのアルバムを参照しているはず、ジャケット含めてて…。　最初の2曲だけだとの声もありますが、トータルで高レベルの名盤です。

人によってはこのアルバムが良いと思える地点まで辿り着くのが苦しいかもしれません。僕がそうでした。存在は知っていたのに、手に入れたのはだいぶ先でした・・。７０年代のＣＡＮ、ミーターズ、マイルスバンドなど、この時代の色んな国籍のファンキー・ミクスチャー・バンドが好きならバッチリど真ん中です。ジャケ写のように軽やかファンキーです。
