Downloading those Unreleased comps right now, but Holy Shit at the existence of "Manic Monday!"

The "Manic Monday" demo, though hardly perfect, sounds cleaner than i'd expected. Who's singing it with him? It sounds like Vanity, but I'm guessing not.

It's Brenda Bennett. Same as the Bangles version.

I love how, in her review of Purple Rain, Pauline Kael wrote "He's a cutie when he dances."

No lie-- after I charged it my iPod shuffle mysteriously deleted every song on it except for 1: Joy in Repetition. I listened to it all day yesterday bc it was the only song on there and I think it might actually be a year long now.

― scarcity festival (Jon not Jon), Saturday, 23 April 2016 19:07 (eight years ago) link
I unplugged it a few days ago and finally listened to it yesterday on my walk to the train. It was a super cool coincidence when that was the first song that popped up, and then when it played twice I thought I had a weird setting wrong (and I was thinking it was still a pleasant coincidence but maybe one I didn't want to let persist for the rest of the day). But I pressed all of the buttons (2) multiple times and turned it off/on many times and it was the only song that came out of that thing all day. What a guitar solo! Dang.

"Emale" from Emancipation is dope. I like his cover of "I Can't Make You Love Me" and "Betcha By Golly Wow" on there too.
Come underrated as well.
Gold Experience is uneven but "Gold" is a helluva pop tune.

Love this Prince-sung version of "Dance Electric:" https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=aa84c4b3a0b419f0&id=AA84C4B3A0B419F0!670&Bsrc=Share&Bpub=SDX.SkyDrive&authkey=!AkMHXfqSwGpxnB8

Was thinking today how Prince really only flirted a little with rap, but boy did he dig into New Jack Swing.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 24 April 2016 00:38 (eight years ago) link
i could use some moonbeam levels right now
― rockpalast '82 (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 25 April 2016 13:50 (eight years ago) link
just now i listened to Partyman and Gett Off back to back and fuck's sake, they are just monumental. the hard lock of the beats, New Jack Swing with the toughness of the guitars in there too. ffffffuuuuuuck.
it is weird how his dying has completely opened up all these songs for me again.
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Monday, 25 April 2016 21:49 (eight years ago) link
Gett Off is unbelievably great
― the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Tuesday, 26 April 2016 01:47 (eight years ago) link
It's so dense with information that I don't even ever feel compelled to listen to the long version. It gets (getts) the job done.

what is Princes nw album called. thankyou

why, because it look interesting?
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 26 April 2016 02:52 (eight years ago) link
prince didnt really do anything approximating new jack swing until acknowledge me around 92/93 or so or love sign. partyman is def not NJS. the drums are too rhythmically straight for that.
― StillAdvance, Tuesday, 26 April 2016 08:01 (eight years ago) link
OK I admit I'm not a connoisseur. Maybe I should have said that the things I like about it sound a lot like the things I like about NJS. The utter lockedness of the beats, the remorselessness, the interplay between synthetic and live.

Thanks to tracer for uploading those comps. For those of us champing at the bit, could Alex or anyone do the same for those deluxe versions mentioned upthread? I missed the boat and am in full-fledged "listen-to-everything-before-I-collapse" mode.

how are all these links being shut down but youtube is getting new uploads every day? seems weird. unless princes superstar team of laywers are too busy right now.
― StillAdvance, Wednesday, 27 April 2016 20:10 (eight years ago) link
WW's had Dream Factory which I grabbed – not sure if it's the same version as the one Alex posted upthread and Alfred raves about but I'm really happy to finally have it. The SOTT that was up there was just the regular record (which is weird – I feel like a thief!).
Agree with those that praise I Wonder – just a great track. Feel like that version of "Come" deserves some, er, love as well.
