BY ALIEN MEANS Pau-1-152-963



This is actually an unreleased Prince (The Artist) tune supposedly sent
to
Madonna for recording consideration. I do not recall the exact source
of
this rumour, but it has been around for years, and was supposedly
inspired
by the 1990 Blonde Ambition Tour. It has never been established that
Madonna
actually recorded it with Prince or on her own.



The Prince collectors usually have lots of bootleg unreleased tracks,
but
this one had never surfaced in the collectors market. Many are the
demos he
had sent to other female vocalists which he did quite often. Therefore
I
decided to request a listen at the copyright office to check it out.



If this demo had been sent to me for consideration, it would be like
the
same feeling as receiving a totally "WRONG" piece of clothing as a
birthday
gift from a relative. "Thanks, it's - neat".



The song appears to be about asking young people not to commit suicide:



"Explore the interplanetary space between your mind. Don't go out by
alien means".



The instrumentation is a wild blend of guitars and percussion. Not much
of a
melody, but Prince in full form. His vocals are just as insane with
multi-layered
falsettos and voices.



The date of creation on the registration is actually 1988, so this
could not
have been inspired by the 1990 BAT. It could be possible that it
originates
circa the Prince/Madonna duet "Love Song" and was then sent to her
later ?



How much truth there is to this story we may never know, but this song
did
not make me think of Madonna when I heard it.
