Data Bank is the thirteen track (tenth song) on The Time’s fourth album Pandemonium, and is written and produced by Prince (but credited to The Time).
Basic tracking took place on 17 June 1986 at the Washington Avenue Warehouse in Edina, Minnesota (in sequence before Can’t Stop This Feeling I Got and We Can Funk, the day before Girl O’ My Dreams). It was intended for an aborted musical tentatively titled Dream Factory.
The track was re-recorded with Morris Day on lead vocals in Summer 1989, at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota, when Prince and Morris Day worked on the projected fourth album by The Time, Corporate World, which later morphed into Pandemonium. Candy Dulfer added saxophone overdubs in August 1989, also at Paisley Park Studios (during the same set of sessions where she added saxophone overdubs to My Summertime Thang, Release It, Murph Drag, The Latest Fashion, Donald Trump (Black Version), Love Machine and My Baby Knows).
