I am the owner of both of these albums, and I am as disapointed
with the latter as I am pleased with the former.  Although I
think The Time nearly blew away The Revolution in the movie,
I find The Time's music almost boring without the visual
re-enforcement.  Maybe I'm just a victim of MTV!  I think one
problem may be that The Time is really a funk band, while The
Revolution is the first group to produce black music that
white boys can dance to since Sly and the Family Stone.  This
is not meant to be a racist staement, it's just an observation
on the last twenty years of rock and roll.  I will probably
sell off "Ice Cream Castles" because I can't enjoy The Time on
record like I can on film.  And there's the pity! [:-/-)]
