The site is mad cool!!! Songs are dope. Videos huh? Lookin forward to some sexy visuals yo, and Prince rockin it live with that Lotus Flower record.

NOTICE the coin at the bottom between tv and radio. Il give anyone 50 bucks for telling me what coin it is. quarter? dollar?

I believe he is full of shit.

Lovesymbol2 said:

It's a quarter. Orgnote me for payment info.

Oh, I miss the WB days...they would never let such crappy visuals get past quality control...

pald1 said:

The site's not even finished yet, genius.

The record company has no say in what an artist's website looks like.

If they did, they'd all look alike.

Whats the deal with the pyramids? Is Prince missing Mayte>?

mega1999fan said:

hat was the case with previously at his official site. In recent times fans at the un-official sites where given info in advance as to how to obtain tickets to events and even have won tickets as well... courtesy of P himself (or his public relation peeps)

pald1 said:

I think the front page graphic is cool, I'm taking a guess it's the album cover.

If it's an example of the rest of the site, this should be Prince's slickest looking website (admittedly there isn't much competition despite the mounting number of official sites there's been).

They look like those futuristic tea-bags from Pickwick...

Its been fixed!! and now says ON - OFF

Well that image is as equally terrible as anything found in the Emancipation booklet.

benni said:

No, there isn't. You can try and force any number of Hindu or Buddhist allusions into this piece until the cows come home, no pun intended, but the only thing you'll be doing is trying to fit a slapdash Photoshop 101 image into something deeper than a pothole.

Prince isn't exploring world religions or its symbols. He's an admitted member of the Jehovah's Witnesses, end of spiritual discussion.

Did someone check this thread? Good job

purplecam said:

Once again you're not sticking to the issue, and debating the posters themselves. You lose.

mplsmike said:

Pshhhh, I need to be using your computer. I don't see shite when I click on the tv...LOL

berniejobs said:

Several fam sites got the email about the new site at the same time.

Wall said:

Oh my!

harveya said:

Prince is poor now? I thought he was #1 at the bank?

Why do Prince fans always make up the lamest excuses? Well, at least you're admitting it's a cheap-looking site.

Genesia said:

Sheesh... It's because lotusflower.com is already taken. Ditto lotus-flower.com .

*chuckles*
Heya Bart..
R U a Prince fan? If so, then I guess you are in that "lamest excuse" catagory. If you are not, then, why are you here?
Not that we do not enjoy your intellectual input, of course...

I would have been much much happier just going to the local EMI shop, give my 40-50€ for all three albums and tell the salesmen to tell people to buy these CDs, then walk home, holding them CDs in my hands, looking at them, smelling the fresh smell of untouched booklets. At home I would enjoy the sound of removing the CD from the cover for the first time to the top (I love that little "crack"), put it in my CD player, turn up the volume, lie down between the speakers and listen to each CD.

No stupid credit cards and stupid data. And no problems with purchasing them for a 16-year-old. My money is worth just as much as someone's who has been a fan for 25 years.

Hey Dave...
Don't worry. He is suppose to be in works with a major retailer as well, so you can purchase it physically from that retailer, OR online...
Just do not know who the retailer is yet.

npggirl77 said:

Maybe he hasn't secured any deals with retailers, and that's why this website has sprung outta nowhere. I think his hand has been forced, and whether he likes the internet or not, he's been left with no choice.

Pray there's no DRM protection if it is download only time.

mega1999fan said:

There is no "official" prince site. Try registering with ticketmaster.

npggirl77 said:

As I said before (dunno whether it was this thread) we don't have anything like Walmart and all that over here in Europe, so the only possibility of getting a physical CD would be ordering it at amazon or something, right?

Still I liked the days when I got up early on a Saturday morning to get the CD as soon as possible...

"Prince will release not one, but three albums in the new year. He's in final negotiations with "a major retailer" to distribute the music in physical form, and a highly interactive website will also provide an opportunity to buy. "

Here is what was said by LA times. Not that they are correct, but that is what Prince told them...
I will get you the link.

So, it has not really sprung outta "nowhere". It has been done like many New Prince Things have been done...
"Without much warning"
It's pretty normal, I think.
