 | | Thompson and Edwards worked with the supergroup Power Station on its 1985 hit LP as well as Power Station lead singer Robert Palmer's solo smash Riptide that same year (both of which Edwards produced). | | | Bernard and Nile had former LaBelle and Ecstacy, Passion and Pain drummer Tony Thompson join the band. | | | In the early 1990s, Rodgers and Edwards regrouped and worked on new material: a single, "Chic Mystique" and subsequent album Chic-ism, both of which charted. |

| | BNR Metal Pages -- Bernard Edward's Project Homicide |
| | The guitars are low-tuned and deathy sounding, Bernard's vocals are a semi-spoken, industrial-ish snarl, and the actual tunes are neither death nor industrial, but perhaps a bit of both, a bit of doom, and a bit of straightforward metal. | | | The self-titled album from Bernard Edwards' Project Homicide is a perplexing release for a number of reasons. | | | Apparently Edwards and/or the band has been around in one form or another for awhile now, but concrete information on them is hard to come by. |

| | Edwards' playing is actually better than ever, more expansive and improvisational; Thompson wasn't around for this reunion, but he's not missed: the session drummers sound just like him. | | | As if sensing the changing winds, Rodgers and Edwards slammed the clubgoers who made up their core audience on the title track, and expanded their musical palette (the exhilarating pop-fusion instrumental "Open Up," the nod to New Wave "Rebels Are We"). | | | Throughout there's far more reliance on keyboards and less on strings, but the biggest and most welcome change is Rodgers stepping out on lead guitar: he solos on most of the tracks, and is utterly convincing in jazz, blues-rock and R&B modes ("I Got Protection," one of the disc's best tunes). |
