I enjoy Prince's latest project, but like Emancipation, I feel it should have been condensed to one really good album.

So I made my "Best of LotusFlow3r" playlist for my iPod, and I was ruthless about cutting away songs that didn't excite me. I was surprised how many tunes I WANTED to like, but just don't because they kinda bore me.

So here is the album I would have released if I were Prince:

1. From the Lotus
2. Boom
3. Chocolate Box
4. Dance 4 Me
5. Valentina
6. Wall of Berlin
7. Ol' Skool Company
8. Better With Time
9. Dreamer
10. Back to the Lotus

To me these are the strongest cuts, and it makes for a tight album.

Yours?

well, i don't have the list with me...

but from what I can remember:

Colonized Mind
Dance 4 Me
Ol' Skool Company
Feel Better, Feel Good, Feel Wonderful
Here
Dreamer

There are different concepts behind the albums so it´s hard to "condense" them imo...

I think I'd just take MPLSoUND as is. If I took anything from LF - The Morning After, Colonized Mind, Dreamer.

Ummmm, no mixing tracks from both CD's would sound terrible.

I'd rather mix Lotus Flow3r with Planet Earth and MPLSound with 3121.

I'm so glad I'm not alone on this. No way can I omit any songs because I like flavor in my mix depending on my mood

I don't wanna do it

I disagree. I think No More Candy should have been on LF, and Feel Better should have been on MS. At least I can fix it with a playlist.
