So Should I join? I was a member last year. Joined in November only because there was new music out. Totally brilliant and bettre than expectations. But I am concerned that this new club seems to be more of interactive experience rather than about music? I am not really big into the Celly idea - love the gigs but for the music again you see. Chatrooms and puzzles are not my bag. So - should I join??? | |

No...wait for somethin BIG (CD's) to come...save yourself the current frustration...
Get Reflection from someone...maybe even the video's. Since even when you join, you hardly will be able to see the video's (75 mb streaming? Yeah right...) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm tempted to say join but you should peruse the threads here, see what people say about what's available & decide for yourself. It's only $25 - you can blow that dickin around easily, it's a trip to the atm. If you don't like it, what have you lost really? You're obviously interested or you wouldn't have started this thread! | |

I am interested but however much it is is irrelevant - I just dont throw money away - ! But I am concerned that there appears to be no musical content...? Without that if it is just piccys and puzzles as I said that aint my bag. There must be loads of people on here that are "real music lovers" as opposed to in it for the "fam" - both are equally valid just different camps so to speak. So - should I join? | |

Not yet. Hold on to your money. Right now you get this: 1). 4 Videos!!! ... you probably WON'T be able to download, despite trying for a whole hour 2). 1 NEW SONG! ... a good song 3). A CHAT ROOM!!! ... only nowhere near as good as this one - everyone's on their best behaviour, keen not to offend his majesty or the NPG Gestapo. So, don't do as I did and sign up immediately. Follow the posts here and wait until you read that something really worthwhile (like a tour/new CD/PROPER downloads) and then sign up. | |

I say make up your own mind, and do what's best for you and your situation, but if you're only looking for new music, I'd have to be honest and say wait, at this present stage there is only one new song. (However, I will note, that I've seen things added and taken away, daily since it launched, so you never know when Prince might get in the mood to jam and decides to share it with us.) ___________________

I say wait and see if it delivers what you are looking for. THEN, make that move.

Join when you're willing to part with the $25
As surely as eggs will break there will be some music you can only get through joining- though it may be available one day later in regulaer shops. Hmmm. I don't tthink they'll be a world Tour this year and who can balme him? I'd just wait. If you love music you will find not much to love right now. | |

I bet a lot of the ladies would like to balme him!! and that a lot of the haters would blame him! But I am cool with the new club and wish it luck but I think I will hang 5 and see what occurs... It is not the money - it is a really small amount - it is just I am Yorkshire born and therefore a tight-wad!! | |

At first, I considered to wait for something REAL to happen, but then I thought; why join in a few weeks/months and pay $25 while I can also join now and pay $25.
You will probably pay the $25 this year, but by joining now, you enjoy(?) it longer! Join later: $25 for about 9 months Join now: $25 for 12 months... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Absolutely NOT. It's hardly worth visiting even if the site was free. Unless, of course, you enjoy childish quasi-fantasy cartoon graphics, tedious portals from one area to another, and videos that can be heard, but not seen.
My advice: Save your money. Check HERE once in a while to see if Prince has finally added something of actual value to this overburdened, preachy site. Surely those of us who have already blindly donated $25 to that lame site will immediately alert you to the addition of something substantive - if and when that occurs.

It doesn't sound like you should join based on what you've said about your tastes and interests. I joined the first day and it has already been worth it as far as entertainment value. $25 for an entire year is negligible in my book, and as I said, it will be more than worth it to enjoy the site all year and download new songs, etc. (I'm sure there will be at least a few more).
But that is me, and it sounds like it's not worth it to many people. That doesn't make me wrong or them wrong, it makes all of us right as far as what we like to spend our money on and what we get out of it. | |

Thanks for starting this thread, LoveRobot. I've been debating it in my mind for a while. But I agree with you, I just want the music. I don't want to have to play games and cluck like a chicken while quoting psalms from the bible to get it.
I was just afraid that he would put up a new song (streamed) for a few weeks, then take it down permanently, and then put a a new one up. So waiting for something BIG would mean that I would miss out on some good streamed songs. But for now I'll read what people are saying here on the org. Does anyone know if the DVD will go to retail, or will it be shipped to members only? | |

to try to clear up some of the confusion, the 3 "new" songs in the reflection pool (or whatever you wanna call it) are just the first 4 tracks from the ahdio show from september 2001. it's just a very slightly different beginning of the lovesexy album...basically the real thing with a couple over-dubs, and then elephants and flowers and annastesia...both exactly as we all have them, except i think shorter than the album versions.
and as of now, the reflection mp3 HAS been taken off the site. i'm not really sure why, and there hasn't been any communication from the npgmc regarding this...if any paying members just joined or were not able to get this song, let me know. i'd like to start a tree or something...it's a great song, and y'all should hear it. more music, pretty please!!! No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Perhaps we could use this thread to advise of new music on the site?? | |
