this is the best out of the 4 to me. Prince likes EAST best so they say.
I am no musician. I LOVE SOUTH. It has a funky blues section in it and I do love the blues. Oh my, oh my. | |

Yes, another good one! Was just hoping for some guitar madness in the end. | |

Right now, my favourite
Very cool bass line und guitar play. After all NEWS is a great piece of, as i say, headphone music - sit back and enjoy a amazing music trip around the world. Really looking forward to get the CD. | |

I didnt get a chance to hear the whole thing, only like 2 or 3 minutes.. Does the song change like the rest? East and West have like three songs to them..
someone get deep on it, and give a review. | |

About South:
it starts off similar to the more up-tempo, funky parts of the other songs. Sax again and some 1+1+1is3 sounding keyboard playing underneath. About 3 minutes into the song, it suddenly goes into a rock riff, but just briefly, before returning to the funky part. Then they play some breaks, after that a really spooky sounding keyboard is introduced. More soloing by Eric, I really like this part. At around 5 minutes into the song, the tempo changes. When West started slow and became faster, it's the other way around here. Weird keyboard effects, the bass is the same like on Osaka and Tokyo. AGAIN some soloing by Eric. Then Renato gets to solo a bit. Now at around 10 minutes, the music starts to slowly build up, it becomes more dramatic. Eric solos. The guitar plays some fills here and there. The music breaks down, some string-like keyboard chords end the song in a very quiet way. I must say, as much as I dig Eric's playing, it just gets too much for me. I guess Prince used him a lot here because he really has a jazzy style when he wants to, but especially in this last song, you're just begging for the guitar to burst out, IMO. Still a nice song though. [This message was edited Mon Jun 23 9:57:23 PDT 2003 by calldapplwondery83] | |
