thats odd. he never struck me as the kind of guy to keep 'testing' when the 'next frontier' is already right in front of him and has been for quite some time...

r u saying he cant see it?

.I’ll give U my current TAKE on Prince. Since Prince has freed himself from what he thought was an unjust CONtract with WB, Prince has been doing various Xperiments with his career. A quick recap: 3 cd deal with EMI, NPGMC downloads, commercial collaborative attempt with Rave, ONA tour and LIVE cd release, NEWS, The Rainbow Children live jazz type release, the Musicology “give” away and tour, and finally 3121 where he did some upfront marketing and stood back and let the cd do what ever the cd was going 2 do……..on it’s OWN. Prince is very well aware and has been for sometime that the music business and its OLD format is pretty much DEAD on it. I believe he is like a NOT so mad scientist conducting a few “test” 2 see what the next frontier is going 2 be. Trust me on this, IT’S NOT OVER.


(I see what your sayin Graycap23)...

Last time I checked, 3121 wasnt available on iTunes (or for download purchase)... that means that the album went to Number One without any iTunes (or download) sales...

I think that says alot... Very kool if you think about it.

Who really can drop like that without iTunes or some form of download purchase?

(please correct me if I am wrong)

For years now we knew where to find Prince info... on his sight/on the web...Now its gone (for however long that may be)... sing some Joni... "You dont know what you've got till its gone".


So now that you cant have your cake and eat it too... Dont you just want some cake period? Thinkaboutit...all that has to happen now is a whisper... It wont take more than that.

GOOD EFFORT ON KEEPING TOPICS OF DISCUSSION GOING

My take on Prince right now is that he is using the tv media to aid his marketing. The website will be back one way or another. He has tried and has been successful at selling cd's at a concert, he has been succesful and his first #1 debut album chart topper with minimal record company backing on marketing. He knows that the marketing is the key to success and he is setting things up for his next attempt. he is patient unlike most fans. He is setting up for the use for the super bowl that will be shown all over the world!! That would be a perfect time to kick off a world tour with a cd for every ticket sold.

he is trying to change to record game and hoping it will catch on.

and P.S. I KNOW WHO YOU ARE GRAYCAP AND I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE SO CLOSE TO HOME!!! you cudda came and talked to me dude. . . .call a brotha!!

Great description. He's always been kinda like an inventor...and he was always ahead of everyone eles. His eighties music always seemed to come out first and it seemed like everyone was always tagging along trying to catch up with him. He must find the distribution of music an equally exciting challenge. Good music just doesn't get to the public like it used to anymore.
