August 21, 2008: when this came out nobody liked it. i guess people liked rick james better than this project. this was a creative project that is so underrated. if songs in the key of life was his tommy, then plants was his quadrophenia. in the box set at the close of a century they picked out send one your love the vocal version and i liked it. it was not the follow up the stupid motwon bosses wanted but stevie follwed with the diverse hotter than july. it's sad the music world died with all the rap stuff and the disgusting diva parade but i finally found the album that was in danger of being out of print. i liked diverse albums than stupid commercial albums. as i get sick of the hits i put this on and relax.

May 15, 2008: This is one of the few Stevie Wonder Albums that was not what you'd call his greatest albums. This came out during the time when Stevie was embarking on a nationwide tour and I had the pleasure of seeing him perform in person. During the performance, which lasted well over 3 hours of just his music, he preformed some of the songs from this album, and to see the actual scenes from the movie that matched the music was a sight to behold. That night convinced that we had just began to see what Stevie Wonder was capable of as an artist and a man. There are several songs on this recording that are note worthy, but one song really stuck out in my mind, "Venus' Flytrap and the Bug". Not because it is a dance tune but it shows how Mr. Wonder had began his new turn toward a more jazz infused, funk styled music. His usage of the stand-up bass with the keyboard being the second instrument and the jazz styled drum beat showed that he was about to embark into a whole new musical direction. Clearly, this was the beginning of the next coming of the Wonder. i.e. He is using his given name more now that ever before.
