A much needed change of direction for Zapp – exchanging the extended repetitve funk grooves for shorter, more standard song formats. “Thank you Prince, you sound so good to me” sings Roger, after name-dropping a whole list of funky people (including himself!) in the opening track. And for a while the classic 80’s Minneapolis sound influence is there for all to hear, with ‘Itchin for your Twitchin’ including a direct reference to Prince’s ‘Irresistable Bitch’.
