I do. I probably like it as well as the Prince albums in that package, honestly. I haven't listened to it in a while, though, so that might be a bit strong.

I've always like that CD, its a pretty good collection of songs despite Bria not being the strongest of singers. The title track was one of the best of the three disks and one of his best ballads in the last 20 years IMO.

Change it one more time..

.

The Elixer album has an overall nice, sweet groove, and a relaxing vibe I like to chill to at work. Took me some time to get used to Bria's voice but the music was well selected to suit her vocals. I like all of the songs on the album, though "immersion" is the track I connect with the most. Good nighttime music to put me in an Alpha state of mind. Dreamy and ethereal...

.

And I enjoy "Arms of Orion" as well. Impossible for me to listen to without wanting to sing along with it (well, trying to sing).

Agreed. 2nite wouldn't have been so bad without that horribly dated production. It sticks out like a sore thumb on that record.

Bria has a very lovely voice. The songs she sings on the CD fit. Hope she's blissfully still in love with her foine hubby.

Wonders if they listen together to the CD

Title track is awesome - an outstanding song from any era.

Actually heard it in a restaurant in Paris I was at the other day, and it raised a smile.

Rest of the album is alright - dinner party music - though nothing wrong with that wink

Yep. Closet fan here too. I think it's one of his better protege albums. The song "Elixer" alone is sublime. Worthy on any Prince album, that one. And the rest are mostly good. To be honest, I think I listen to the Elixer songs more than the MPLSound songs boxed
