You have to include a NON alphanumeric character - !@#$%^&*()?/ something like that included in your password will get you logged in. smile


doh!


Don't feel bad. My dumb ass didn't understand why it wouldn't let me log in, even though I had a non alpha-numeric character in the password....I was trying to log in before creating my new account! wall lol


PS. I like it better than Song of the Heart, too.

The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

Looks like I just had to wait for the download sign to appear. Once it did I easily downloaded it. just got done listening to it so hear is my first response. It's lighter than I though it would be. For a song called "Guitar" I was expecting more guitar on this song. I'm not sure how I would describe it but it sounds fake or airy, just not real. It definitley sounds like the song ends too soon. I don't know if I would call this a "hit" but maybe a nice b-side to something better down the line. The lyrics are clever but overall I think the song is kind of disappointing. It won't bring in any new fans and it won't bring back any old fans.

In love with something else...

What a horrible download experience! I must say I think this is a different group of people doing the downloads than at the NPG Music Club. It's not WMA, there are no instructions or help docs whatsoever, a higher price than normal, and it was not promoted at all the way the NPGMC used to do it. I think we're stuck with a new and WORSE situation until the club really comes back, if ever. The pages all look nice, but this has been REAL sloppy every step of the way. Prince, PLEASE go back to the NPG Music Club. It wasn't perfect but after 5 years or whatever they did get a few things right. 3121.com sure won't be winning any Webbys anytime soon. razz

Dig if U Will...

Imagine if U Will...

This song LIVE with a band versus the electonic sound going on the recorded version - totally a different song


I believe this "horney Toad old-skoll cool funk" soundin song is yet only a DEMO and the radio single will be released to radio Monday after the Superbowl performance that trumps the game itself

God Bless Prince
God Bless Funk
God Bless Guitar LIVE
The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U.

from what i was able to hear (only 2 minutes of it) it sounds pretty good. Once again, the vocals stand out more than anything.

Quick question: Can this song file be burned to cd, or can you just listen to the file?

I just got back online now,been gone the entire day and now I'm reading about all of the problems. I don't know if I feel like subjecting myself to this stress right now. lol

Too commercial. Awful production. What about using proper drums for f*** sake ?!!!
The voice is awful. The distorsion is unbearable. Sounds like an average nowadays teen talent on radio.
And for those like me who expected a guitar album, it is OVER !

Shit, if Prince loves his guitar so much, why doesn't he just play the thing instead of smothering it in high tech bullshit effects? If he really loved his guitar he'd want it to be heard.

Impression on first listen - pretty throwaway, not in a huge hurry to hear it again. The breezy mood is fine, it's just that musically it never really goes anywhere. It feels very raw and rough - just a "sketch" of an idea for a song, rather than a finished song that you'd ask people to pay money for.

Lyrically if Prince is just trying to tell us that he is "married to his music", this spousal abuse needs to stop.

Disappointed.

So has anyone from outside the US or people without a legit US address been able to download this?

It's pretty ridiculous that it's only available to people with a US billing address, in my opinion.

I'd really like to hear it.

just put in any numbers you want - doesn't matter at all!

First I also was thinking - what a sh.. - but then put in only 55555 - and it worked fine.

But the internet-company that made the shop should be fired!!!!
