The track is also featured in the movie [[Film: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]]. '''New Power Generation (Pt. II)''' is the seventeenth and final track on the album, and was featured as the b-side of the [[Single: New Power Generation|New Power Generation]] single. The maxi-single featured several tracks which could be considered remixes of the track, but are different enough that they are listed here as separate tracks. Only one, '''T.C.'s Rap''', is included here; information about [[Brother With A Purpose]], [[Get Off]], [[The Lubricated Lady]] and [[Loveleft, Loveright]] can be found on their individual song pages. |
While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in Autumn-Winter 1989 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same sessions that produced [[Round And Round]]). It was included as the second track on a late 1989 configuration of [[Album: Graffiti Bridge|Graffiti Bridge]], with a shorter '''Reprise''' as the 14th and final track. It was kept as the second track on a 1990 configuration, with '''Pt. II''' as the 17th and final track, where they stayed for the final release. Among others it uses a keyboard part that had appeared earlier in [[Flesh And Blood]] recorded in the Summer of 1989 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota, for use on the proposed [[Album: Jill Jones 1989|second album]] by [[Jill Jones]]. | While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracking took place in Autumn-Winter 1989 at [[Paisley Park Studios]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota (during the same sessions that produced [[Round And Round]]).
