The scoop on Rave?

The following is from alt.music.prince; although I cannot verify its legitimacy, if it's fake then somebody spent a lot of time thinking it up.

Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic (6:22) - the most explosive opening 2 a CD since
"Let's Go Crazy" or "Thunder". Takes the elements of the earlier version and
combines it with a new twist of raw power.

R U Ready? (5:12) - lk kicks on this 1. He sings the chorus. ("R U ready? I
hope ya r baby!!") An invitation 2 this old/new sound. co produced by lk

When It Mattered Most (3:44) - alone at the piano.More memories of Mary,
claire, denise and Belle. "Circle of amour 2"?? Not really, but the chilly
September is still here in this track.

Heal U (6:02) - this track asks the question : What if a human had the ability
that only the Lord does? ("What if I could Heal U like only a lover can? What
if I could Heal U as I become more than a man?") produced by jj,tl

Blue Angels (4:12) - Think about the beginning of "Under the cherry Moon" and
the mood that "An Honest Man" created. Mid Tempo groove with a drum sound that
makes u think this record is called "Sign O The Times"

Church (3:09) - gospel, hammond organ and vox. More a prayer than a song.
Beautiful!

Everyday Is A Winding Road (5:05) - the song that was inspired by a recent jam.
guests come and go and once in a while drop by.

Residential (8:36) - the structure of "Joint 2 Joint" was only the beginning.
This jam has 6 elements with 4 chords. ("hear the placement of desire")

I Need U (4:45) - straight forward funny R & B number. I believe it was
inspired by a certain old label. ("Never was the air this sweet. Took 4 granted
that I could walk with my own feet. I wave goodbye and open that door. I'm glad
I dont Need u anymore.")

Jigsaw (4:07) - this is what will bring this release in2 the fold. lh.. and c..
ohh how funky and how inspiring. ("Youth got locked without keys. Interlocking
silly games"). I havent heard the remixes yet but I can only imagine.

The Easiest Way 2 4get (3:11) - Girl meets boy, boy regrets and pretends it
never happened. C is on this one. This could of been the track between
"Shockadelica" and "Rockhard in a funky place". Very funky. Reminds me of the
happiness I felt when I heard "Good Love" in "Bright lights, Big City". I was
taken off guard and couldn't stop singing.

Blass4me (6:56) - soulful ballad. Never mentions the title, just goes through
the ten commandments in a interesting and unique way. ("Shall not kill, but
those who blieve they will b 4given will.") production done by js.

The Beginning (12:43) - the most amazing song, so complex with a 6 minute
guitar solo that begings the song!! Then the vocals enter as almost a duet with
prince and c, midtempo guitar based track.

I Can Love Again (6:21) - this final track starts with only vocals and piano
but it contains guitar by lk and backing vox by lh. a chorus that reminds of
the "7" chorus. ("once, here, I was just the one they ran to, they ran and one
day came and without resisting I ran to them. I can love again!")

distribute
