Morris Day and the complete original lineup of The Time recently released a new album called 'Condensate,' but if you missed the news, don't feel too bad. The album has been released under the banner of "The Original 7ven" due to former Time associate Prince (he of the symbol, artist formerly known as, etc.) letting the band know that he wouldn't allow them to use the name "The Time."
Jimmy Jam looks at the change as a positive one, telling Billboard that "we sound like ourselves because we have a sound, for sure, when we get together, but we certainly didn't have the constraints of the name, and therefore we felt we could do music that represented where we're at right now. So we just kind of embraced it rather than getting all involved in legal stuff."
No matter what they're calling it, 'Condensate' is a mighty fine batch of funky goodness and the physical edition of the album, which is exclusive to Best Buy, comes with a bonus DVD that contains a 90 minute documentary covering the 30 year history of the group. It's seriously not to be missed and for $9.99, how can you resist?
Give a listen to the first single '#Trendin' and you'll hear that they're in fine form.
