James Murphy Chooses 'Purple Rain' By Prince

The LCD Soundsystem leader on Prince’s multi-multi-million-selling ‘Purple Rain’. 

“This mattered so much to me in a developmental part of my life. It is the culmination of this great artist who’s undeniably one of the great rock’nroll artists of all time. That record is a mountain peak of a great artist. He’s a person who had the depth of a Bowie but the timing of a Michael Jackson. If he was a basketball player, he would be as fast as a short guy but as a tall as the tallest player out there!”
