I forgot how much I love the Funky Stuff Remix until I heard an mp3 version I downloaded and burned to CD; then realized I already had this track on this SPACE CD. Too much; it's a real groover; just funks along and makes you want to get up and dance!

That's one of the many criteria I apply to Price's music. If it just makes me want to get up and dance; if my daughter and I can just sway to the groove, then it makes the cut. You have to appreciate obtuse and sophisticated bass to really like this cut, but if you are a musician that understands what it takes to produce this kind of music, or if you really love Prince and really love Funk, then I'd recommend this CD just for this cut alone. It's not a must have, but for me, it was an important member of my collection. Now I just need to go back and grab the cut off the real CD instead of the MP track; since the fidelity is probably better on these sub-terranian bass lines..

That's right, I just gave mass credit to one of Prince's allegedly lowest points in his career.

Come is a great album, I don't know why people hate it so much, I honestly can't figure it out. And with great singles like Letitgo, Space, and the awesome title tracks, there's got to be something to enjoy for every Prince fan.

Well, with this CD release in particular, I can't find one track I don't enjoy, one of Prince's best maxi-singles in my opinion.

The remixes, provided by Prince himself, focus less on merely remixing and rather focus on what else can be done with the 'image' of the lyrical and thematic content. Funky Stuff and Universal Love remixes both feature redone and/or completely new lyrics, though still in the vein of the original. I feel like Prince really wanted to say something with this single, not only because he did the remixes himself.

The acoustic mix, as well, is just great; it's essentially the album version, but some of the electronics have been replaced, of course, with an acoustic guitar (if you like his acoustic remix of 7, you'll really enjoy this I suspect).

And then, naturally, the original track is here, which I hardly listen to after the other tracks, but that's fine.

Take the time and space to enjoy a smooth groove like this

Funky Stuff ...funky stuff ...I like it, I mean track 2 it's very nice but I coudn't find the other tracks by searching for them(MP3)of these remixes except funky stuff remix & the normal one SPACE !

This is not acceptable, from a true but honest and unblinded appreciator of the genius of O(+>.
