Amazon.com essential recording
Calling this one of Prince's most interesting albums doesn't do justice to how kicky and playable it is. The soundtrack from his failed romantic comedy Under the Cherry Moon, the disc often sounds like a preview of the supremely surefooted quirkiness of its follow-up, the classic Sign o' the Times. Marrying lean funk grooves to over-the-top orchestrations and trying his hand at Parisian balladry and a hushed, Pet Sounds-style instrumental, he triumphs as few other record makers did in 1986. --Rickey Wright

 The Sun Also Rises January 20, 2009
With appearances by familiar names - billed as The Revolution; Jonathon and Susannah Melvoin, Sheila E, Wendy and Lisa - Prince bolsters his "solo" vision to create some of his richest artistry ever.
The album reached #3 on the Billboard 200 chart and the single, Kiss, hit #1 and is an intriguing mix of minimalism with pop sensibilities. The other singles had mixed success; the wonderfully picturesque Mountains, #3 and the funky duo of Girls & Boys, #11 and Anotherloverholenyohead, #63. Do U Lie? is an incredibly powerful song and the initial four tracks - Christopher Tracy's Parade, New Position, I Wonder U, Under the Cherry Moon - have a textured flow that brings into focus the key elements in the movie.
Released in 1986. the music remains a vital part of Prince's vast discography, with Kiss being a classic single that paved a new direction for the "top 40" sound.
 My daughter adores Prince January 12, 2009

I purchased this CD for my daughter for Christmas. She adores Prince, so of course, she loves the CD. It's almost time for a new one. She has played this one every day since she received it. Also, the service from Amazon.com was excellent!

Prince's last record with the Revolution is a parade, alright. It's a straightforward attack on listeners, with taut, sensuous weapons. The attack plan is a little more abstract than it should be, since it is a soundtrack, but it's more than enough to get even the most comatose and cretinous persons shaking and feeling the music. Speaking of which, Prince has moved on not just from his past image--notice the slick, basic, new Prince on the album cover--but also from the messianic rock of "1999" and "Purple Rain." He's no more humble, but he's much more baroque (the old Prince wouldn't have written a lyric like "No one plays the clarinet like you play my heart"). As a whole, the album is Prince's most cohesive effort, thanks in part to "Sgt. Pepper"-esque vision and sequencing. The production is knock-down drag-out flawless: just experience "Kiss," the lead single, maybe the strongest argument for minimalism since Joni Mitchell's "Blue." He's smarter than he was on "Around the World in a Day," too, which was really good, but didn't really feature any exciting new thoughts. He devotes an entire album, for the eighth time, to romance, lust, and love, his strengths, but he only grants tricky old death one line, in the poignant "Sometimes It Snows in April": "Sometimes I wish life was neverending/And all good things, they say, never last." He even makes like he might mellow and offers, "I love you baby, I love you so much/Maybe we can stay in touch." Yeah, right.
Under the Cherry Moon Review January 6, 2009
This is an awesome album! In my opinion this is some of Prince's best work. If you're a Prince fan, you're sure to love this cd. Not only does it contain the classic song Kiss, it also contains "Likeyoueneedaholeinyourhead" (I don't know if thats the title but it is a rarely heard classic that many young Price fans may have never heard). All togeather, this project is a mix of funk, ballads and mid-range tempo jams that are sure to please and even contains a beautiful instrumental track that, once again, showcases the musical talent of Prince and the Revoloution/Parade. Cop this CD if you know what's good for you! They're selling it at a great price, too!
