From Amazon.com Junking ’70s-funk cliches for a stripped-down sound (keyboards and synthesizers replaced the horns) built around a hard-rockin’ guitar and a tougher-than-tough rhythm section--all topped off with a heapin’ helping of humor--this Minneapolis-based sextet was once the best funk band in the land. This second LP is the best single album from the act， which soon imploded， owing to an over-abundance of talent. Bug-eyed vocalist Morris Day and guitarist Jesse Johnson went on to semi-successful solo careers; keyboardist Jimmy Jam and bassist Terry Lewis became a mega-platinum writing/production team (Janet Jackson， most notably); drummer extraordinaire Jellybean Johnson and keyboardist Monte Moir were the other members. Co-produced by Day and Jamie Starr (a.k.a. Prince)， this six-song 1982 effort sports three wall-rattling party-starters: the self-explantory ?Wild and Loose，? the tongue-in-cheek dance tune ?The Walk，? and the still-percolating， knotty-but-nice rhythms of ?777-9311.? Toss in a ?New Wave?-style rocker， a droll take on the obligatory love-man ballad， and the band’s straight-faced answer to the titular question (?Time to fix your clock!?) is O-B-V-I-O-U-S. --Don Waller
