Of course, thereвЂ™s only one utterance of the word вЂњsincereвЂќ on the album: вЂњ I sincerely wanna fuck the taste out of your mouth.вЂќ There is as always the tonal slipperiness that makes PrinceвЂ™s music so rich to revisit: All the in-jokes and scathing subliminals of вЂњAll the Critics Love U In New YorkвЂќ come just two tracks after вЂњFree,вЂќ which is marked by disarmingly sincere patriotism.

The music is unfailingly funky while still remarkably controlled, precise in the way that a purposefully askew movie prop is precise.ДЄnd still, 1999 sprawls: ten of its 11 songs clock longer than five minutes, spiraling outward or, in the case of вЂњAutomatic,вЂќ locking into a long groove that asks, as we all have at one time or another, вЂWhat if the aliens fuck?вЂ™ It is exploratory without ever becoming impenetrable, вЂњindulgentвЂќ but never boring. вЂњDeliriousвЂќ sounds like it comes from a very sexual lab experiment that went exactly according to plan.

(The songs have been remastered, and while they sound rich and clear on car speakers and in headphones, it feels beside the point to listen to вЂњD.M.S.R.вЂќ out of anything but the nearly-blown monitors inside an overheated First Avenue.) Even a massive, mainstream hit like вЂњLittle Red CorvetteвЂќ-the first Prince song that charted higher on BillboardвЂ™s pop chart than the R&B one-begins as if itвЂ™s climbing out of a digital muck. The album proper sounds, as it always has, like a computer breathing. And so 1999, which is now being reissued by Warner Records as part of a five-disc set that also includes B-sides, demos, unreleased songs, and concert footage, is the rare record that has come to define its era while also existing outside of it, a masterpiece that immediately precedes the albums Prince fashioned, conspicuously, as masterpieces. But those competing threads that Prince drew out so well-a smirking nihilism and a kind of empathy that posits lust and humanism as the same thing-have never disappeared from pop music, and his ability to marshal the Reagan years and the LM-1 for his own purposes, the way he had already done with the tropes of rock and funk, has rarely been replicated, before or after the Berlin Wall came down.
