Thanks Number23 and thanks cristobole for serving as middle man. Loving these reviews, they're written with such enthusiasm - perfect for tiding me over until the 25th! With that I'm now really excited to hear the original Big Tall wall and Nevaeh Ni Ecalp (also curious whether it includes Prince's spoken word and the guitar solo a la the shortened Dream Factory segue version).



After hearing the snippet and reading number23's description of Big Tall Wall 1, it is now my most anticipated song on the set.

I tried to find the thread, that seems to have caused Number23's ban. Couldn't find it, so I wanted to search via Militant's latest posts. But Militant seems to be gone, too.

He changed his name from Militant to Casey Rain.

Ben made an announcement about it. https://prince.org/msg/3/464306

I'd encourage anyone who has issues with the 23 ban to go to this thread and complain directly to Ben. I just did, and I read others who had done so via org.notes privately. Of course, that's their prerogative. But, I think the effect is moreso with posting directly on the thread for the sake of transparency and so others will know exactly how we feel about it. Just a recommendation. Thanks.

Number 23 has just handed me his review of the first SOTT Vault CD - being the first Orger review, I think it deserves its own thread. So, without much further ado - here is his full text:


Thank you, christobole, for bringing this here. Thanks to Number 23 for putting the words down in a way that seem "almost" like written by Prince.
In many ways, I'm glad I don't have all the boots to compare to. This will be fresh. I can't wait.
Thanks again.

Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.

18. “In A Large Room With No Light”

Welcome to the rat race! Well, that’s what I once thought this astonishing work was called. And he definitely doesn’t say ‘holding a dick’ either. Again, like A Place In Heaven and other DF songs, lyrically, it’s Prince telling us there’s hope. In the darkness, there is light. I think Eric Leeds once said this song was peak Revolution, sounding like it was beamed in from the fourth dimension. But I think the underlying rhythm earths it, anchors the madness, that base Latin groove perfectly chiming and accentuating the multilayered oddites of sonic possibility, wildly unexpected vocal layers, that exhilarating golden chorus and, of course, that intimidating outdo coda of ‘Liiiiiiiiiiiight’ ‘Liiiiiiiiiigiiiiiiiiiiiht’ reminds us that this world truly is dark and troubled, but that embarking on any journey with some untangible, unknown ‘liiiiiiiiiight’ as its possible destination is worth all the pain existence and human consciousness brings.

I have been waiting decades to have a real, officially-released version of this song in my collection, and hands, and ears. And it's almost here. SQUEEEEAL!

Honestly same!

I have always loved the version we had. But then the snippet blew me away because the tone is so very different. 23's review further blew my brains out.

Obviously I am super excited for every bit of it. But Big Tall Wall is right at the top for me along with Prince's eggplant and wonderful day

I think Love and Sex will also be awesome.

I hope we get a review of Vault disc 2 and 3.

b/c of this super review, I went back and listened to the Can I Play With U track. Like so many other unreleased songs, I knew it enough to sing but not enough to know the bass/guitar playing. I'm amazed now at how good this is. I can not believe he held this one back...it is so Princeish....so odd in that wonderful way.

Excellent idea. Shame the reviewer himself can’t post them. Wonder why that is.

Absolutely. The review of a person banned by you is one of the best posts posted on the site in weeks. I'm waiting for the second part and the third part, I'm curious about the differences of Crucial from the version published in 1998.

Tell him to give it a title. I'd suggest "How I wrote THE WORLD'S FIRST review of SOTT Deluxe".

People will understand...

I did not ban them or the others. The mod that dealt with them is caseyrain.

Try not to derail Number23's thread.

Use orgnotes. Orgnote caseyrain.

I know, it was a second person plural. Generic for moderators. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
