The soundcheck snippet is all over the internet since a week or so. It's a nice gimmick, but damn haven't you all heard it before? It was on the Funkenberry site and since then could be found everywhere... The other two tracks were broadcasted this afternoon, they also have been upped at several other sites already. Nice for those who didn't know that RTL had the whole broadcast, but a short hint on where to find them would have done the job, right? The news section says: "LotusFlow3r.com members get the first listen to some special tracks." Alright, listen: This is a LIE. OK? And it's a shame they don't find anything else in their infamous vault to give to the paying hardcore fans. Another slap in the face, another completely ridiculous "update" (LOL!) and another reason to stay pissed as fuck about being betrayed, lied to our faces again and again, cheated on and ripped-off. Alright, now back to normal and enjoy your crappy snippets everybody. Amazing background singers, heh? "Oh, well, i already had it but i don't care i just love to download it again now from the official site..." Laughing-my-fucking-ass-off... Now I know you didn't really think, they'd pay any attention to this, when there's fresh droppings to drooled over, did you? I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

While it's not easy for me to work out what you were trying to say, i assume i have it now... No, i don't give a damn f about whether people here get ripped off and still love it. But i feel it's nothing more than democratic to speak my mind as well while everybody else is celebrating like these "new" tracks were unreleased exclusive outtakes. Just wanted to let some folks know that thousands of Prince fans already drooled over that FREE stuff before it was hyped as exclusive upadates for paying members. And sure I don't need your attention, I'd post pics of myself if i did. | |

I, for one, have no idea where to find the full version of these, I heard the RTL snippets but couldn't find more... "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"

This is utter bullsh*t. You get an email saying three new tracks are available and then you rush to the site only to discover that there is no such thing - only three tracks to listen to, unless you buy Quicktime Pro. I was so disappointed, I didn't even bother listening to the tracks.
I payed £77 for that? Whatta rip! FREE THE 29 MAY 1993 COME CONFIGURATION!
FREE THE JANUARY 1994 THE GOLD ALBUM CONFIGURATION | |

I'm one of the ones that tried to warn y'all about joining in the first place, to no avail. I'm simply saying that trying to rally this bunch now, when there is finally something for them to drool over and justify the site with, after weeks and months of nothingness, is useless. But hey I didn't join, so it's pretty easy to get my attention because it's not easily diverted by Lotus droppings. I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

Feel Better Feel Good Feel Wonderful is beautiful. Loving it. 5 seconds into Mountains and I was hooked. Very cool to hear him cover a Jacksons song. And ive already been jammin to Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad? for weeks. Blown away by his song choices recently. I believe in horns! | |

Same songs (now everyone is flipping out b/c we're hearing acoustical versions of age old songs), played over and over again, same pouty posturing, I mean, I'm as big a fan as most of you, but at some point it all gets old. I guess now is that time for me. | |

Instead of whining, educate yourself. It's not like LF is a fortress of security. It's not like there aren't easy solutions for this. And probably one of the reasons why you don't get much on LF because of shit like this. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

I havent heard it yet cause I have some business to take care of but I can't wait to listen to it and I'm glad Prince put something on that site. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

they must be overloaded or something... i was able to d/load "Feel Better" with no problem but when I try the other two, it just sits there waiting for information to load, then it times out. I'll try again later. * * *

Try clicking the link, then, in the new window, delete the ".mp3" after the song's name and press 'enter'. On the page you should get now, just right-click and download. | |

Mountains/Shake Your Body is freaking AWESOME! I wish it was a 20-min jam! But, why is Prince having a background singer double his falsetto vocals??? I've noticed he has done this on the last few performances where falsetto is featured. Not only that, but the new Why You Wanna... is sung in his normal register! We all chalked it up to just being for the rehearsal on the Doc FB version, but, this is a full live performance in front of an audience, and still no falsetto. I am alarmed! Has P. lost the ability to sing in falsetto, or at least to sing in it strongly? Say it ain't so! Even if he isn't able to get much projection with it anymore, I would still like to hear just HIS voice singing the lines, and not have him be drowned out by a background singer! Calm down. I hear breasticles saying the same things everytime he dabbles in auto-tune. There is nothing wrong with his voice as evidenced on every recent live performance. The original vocals on WYWTMSB are too high and they border on squeaky anyway. I personally prefer it when he sings some of the tracks-formerly-known-as-falsetto in a normal register. It sounds great to me. As for things being "drowned-out", that could very simply be a matter of the live mix. He seems to be into live recording with no touch-ups. For instance, the credits on the aftershow disc on "One Nite Alone...Live" it was recorded live to two-track with no mixing or overdubs. Just what came off the soundboard. If somethings ended up too loud on the two-track you're stuck with it, anyway. No mixing is possible. Of course I could be wrong about all of this, but I'm feeling pretty confident in my assertion that Prince can sing just fine and people should stop thinking the sky is falling everytime something happens that they aren't used to. Hasn't that been pretty much the way his schtick goes? Isn't he supposed to be unpredictable? How are people not used to radically different arrangements of songs in live performance? Just my two bits. [Edited 10/18/09 13:47pm] | |
