Thank you! I’ve also been listening to brat and surpising myself with how much I enjoy it. The word play also feels like such a key rhythmic part of it. Re subtraction - was that what made peak-Prince such an astonishing listen, analog recording or otherwise?

Oh yes, Prince definitely liked removing things to create empty space. That's what he did with Mazerati's recording of "Kiss." https://www.ethanhein.com/wp/2021/the-best-guitar-solo-ever-recorded/
