It's always darkest before The Dawn.

The site's dark look and feel (and I must say a bit foreboding) I feel is to build the mystique of what the site will offer and build intrigue on when it will launch. With those luck enough to win Purple Tickets to see a preview of the site mentioning it may not be fully live til March - we can only expect a bit more of the same dark clouds looming on the horizon.

However with the addition today of two new pictures - and with them a refreshing blast of colour we may not be kept in the dark for long.

And remember as the topic says - it's always darkest before the dawn.

I agree with you! It is always darkest before dawn! It's like he's trying to give it a feel of the world before there was light, before life and creation, and then BAM Prince hits ya' with energy, excitement and music! You know he's gonna' deliver. The graphics put me in the vein of the Interactive CD of old, the one you could pop in your computer!

I also think - and I am sure it's a pretty obvious observation - that the snippet on the TV will be what the site eventually be once "the dawn" arrives - colourful, bright and bliss like.

I still say that the greatest thing he could do, would be 2 suddenly announce 2 go 2 your nearest Target/Best Buy/Whatever, and get the new album(s).

He'd have 2 wait until the physical copies were distributed, but think about the old-school excitement of rushing 2 a "record store" 2 get the new stuff.

Now THAT would be tricky 2 pull off.

THEN, 1-3 weeks after that, allow the downloads.

Think about it... how many Prince fans would want 2 wait until the download?

It would nearly force people 2 go out and buy the album(s). Certainly more effective that offering the download(s) first.

sounds like it would be great for you and me...but something tells me that won't happen. Why? because "they" (Prince) wants us to pay for the download and then buy the album....getting us to pay twice for the same thing. mo' money...mo' money! biggrin

Get a frigging grip on reality,

Darkest before the dawn ?

Jesus christ.

"May you live to see the dawn" was his catch phrase in the 80's. We lived to see the dawn, and what happened ? Emancipation, a bit of an anti climax to say the least.

In traditional Yank fashion, Prince likes to hype things up but usually has nothing to back up the hype with. In traditional Yank fashion, ie all mouth and no trousers.

In the age of the sound byte, content is an after thought.

I said it before.. If he put a countdown timer on the site.. i think it would become a little more uplifting and perhaps add some excitement.. if that is even possible
