Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by the masterful talk-box manipulations of Roger Troutman, the Ohio funk ensemble's fourth release incorporates the slicker, sequence-heavy textures dominating mid-80s R&B. The project achieved significant success with the hit 'Computer Love', securing their transition from P-funk disciples to electro-funk pioneers.
