  • 8 Western Carolinian/September 6, 1984 Purple Rain Soaked With Talent lately, 1 have found it difficult to find a decent movie soundtrack suitable for space in a review column. This may seem strange to most, particularly if you consider the scores of scores being released annually. There is no specific formula for deciding which album gets into this spot. However, when I open a copy of B.llboard or Cashbox magazine and discover that a soundtrack has sold in excess of 1.5 million copies before the actual debut of the film, even the novice entertainment journalist should take note. One such album/soundtrack (twit accomplished this phenomi- nal feat is "Purple Rain" by Prince and The Revolution. This movie is progressively proving to be morp than just a shallow reason to play some music during a film. So many times I find myself in a record store milling over the selection os soundtracks, recalling which movies I have seen and those which I didn't realize had accomrxmying albums. There are some thai may have fared better without one! For those that have yet to see "Purple Rain", I shall do my best not to spoil it for you, merely generate your interest a bit. For those that have? Perhaps you would prefer to move on to the classified section or something of that caliber. The st o r y is set in Minneapolis, centering around 1st Avenue—an area where seedy rock clubs are the hangouts for groups on their way up the "social ladder" of rock'n roll stardom. Prince, (the star of the movie) is better known as "The Kid" and he is also the leader of a group aptly called "The Revolution." Heand his group fight what seems to be •never ending battle against vavjous "forces that be." There is of course a female object of desire (her npme is Appolinia) who is an aspiring young singer. She becomes infatuated with "The Kid" and the leader of an opposing group known as "The Time." You may remember this group from a while back. They did songs (sic) "My Stick" and "Jack-U-Off." More recently, "The Time" has released a new album called "Ice Cream Castles." This LP contains some great ditties like "My Drawers" (Obviously the closest thing to "My Stick") and "If The Kid Can't Make You Come-Nobody Can." For a more descriptive analysis of this album, you'll just have to buy it yourself...like 1 did. Morris Day is the leader of the opposing rock group. Day tries to impress the nubian lovely with killer attire, fine wines, and smooth lines like: "Baby your lips would make a lollipop happy." However, there is much more at stake here than just the girl. Things in his band are not going so well, mainly because of his lack of trust for his band. Wendy and Lisa, two of the members of The Revolution refuse to perform the music they write. If you buy the album there is a poster included. Wendy and Lisa are the two girls embracing on Prince's left, you can't miss them. This in combination with other problems like 'The Kid's" parents beating each other up every night make for a film of some substance. Scenes of "Purple Rain" rotate between off stage and on stage performances. One leads up to the other. The music and dancing in this movie are superb.
