1. "The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker" (from Sign O The Times) 2. "Tambourine" (from Around The World In A Day) 3. "Dance On" (from Lovesexy)
Every time I hear these songs, it sounds like a Terminator robot going back in time to prepare me for my awesome future. Through what magic could dude make such deliciously stuttery funk! Are there any others? Do you think Timbo loves these songs more than, say, "Kiss."

There is a bit of contemporary electronic minimalist R&B in "Kiss" too, isn't there?

"Under The Cherry Moon" sounds like something The-Dream or Timbaland would attempt. Also: JT might essay "Private Joy" or "Free." On the other hand, no one's ever attempted anything like "Something in the Water (Does Not Compute)."

not to mention a great deal of early Chicago house. (Alfred, compare/contrast "SITW(DNC)" and Phuture's "Your Only Friend." not dissimilar at all.)

Didn't even think of Phuture, but yeah. It's the minimalism of the beat with the melodrama of Prince's vocal that struck me.

calling this stuff "proto-Timbaland" is so fucked up.

"D.M.S.R." and "It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Nights" are about as annoyingly tuneless and repetitive as most of what Timbaland etc. come up with these days.
