Hey guys I've been getting into Madhouse's music lately and I'm wondering what do you guys are best tracks? Please share

Really, i'm quite a big fan of all the Madhouse material, apart from the '93 version of "24" I don't think there are any tracks that I dislike.

If you are enjoying the albums, you may also like the Madhouse rehearsal session that is circulating, it's very funky and is on the purefunk label.

One!

2 & 6

I really love 'Fourteen'.

Edit: I also like 'Night Owl' and 'Kenya' from Eric's Times Squared.

All instruments except sax and flute on 8 are performed by Prince.

I absolutely love the way the drums sound on this album. They stand out in a good way.

7 and 6 are my faves.

Prince on drums? Are we absolutely sure about that? The drumming sounds very Sheila-esque, especially her signature end.

Madhouse 8 on my short list of all-time best Prince albums.

11 is my fav so far

This thread put me in the mood for Madhouse.

I Just listened to 1, and if that's Prince on drums, he is a far better drummer than anyone gives him credit for. It's totally bad-ass. The drums on 8 don't just keep time, they are INTEGRAL to the compositions themselves. The odd manic patterns and charismatic flourishes of the drumming throughout bring this album to another level.

Yes, 100% sure. The creation of these albums has been very well documented.

I agree.

It was the same with Bobby Z on the instrumental Loring Park sessions, the drumming on those tracks sound a lot more complicated than what Bobby sounded during The Revolution. He was/is a great drummer.

4--6--8--10
