Notes:
Bubbling up from the snow-blanketed land of 10,000 lakes, the
Minneapolis Sound defied expectations, emerging late in the æ70s as
a slick, black, technologically advanced fusion, poised to storm
the charts. In relative silence, the Twin Cities had been harboring
a tight-knit community feverishly at work in radically manipulating
American dance music, varnishing futurist funk with guitar rockÆs
glamorous sheen. Purple Snow, the Numero GroupÆs ambitious 50th
mainline release, chronicles false starts and follow-throughs
toward Minneapolis Sound, on 4 LPs and 32 rare and unreleased
recordings from the years just prior to, and just after, one gifted
Nelson was crowned Prince. At some 30,000 words, our 144-page
hardbound book meticulously directs the listener through two hours
of music, and a decade dotted by adept producers, combos, and
charactersùlike 94 East, Flyte Tyme, and Alexander OÆNeal, whose
less celebrated groundwork put MinneapolisÆ purple launchpad on the
map. From Jimmy JamÆs extroverted Mind & Matter collective to AndrΘ
CymoneÆs polish-free bedroom demos, Purple Snow gathers as the
sprawling, nonfiction prequel to Purple RainÆs cultural takeover.
In image-rich splendor, funk-informed hordes of unsung Twin Cities
talent bask for a spotlit moment, out of that persistent violet
shadow, to shine.
