What do you want? funk? rock? jazz? for the fans? or another prince-lite for the masses affair like musicology?

i personally think it's safe to say horns will feature heavily! I want a more guitar driven album myself but doubt it somehow.

I want a full band!!!

He raves about the power of the NPG on this tour and I agree YET he insists on playing all of the instruments himself

it's his card.

that would be nice. I think TRC is miles better than musicology in the music department for that very reason. the band.

Marrk said:

I totally agree.

TRC, Parade, ATWAID, Purple Rain... timeless music with great musicians.

When I hear those synths filling in for the horns in the studio version of Musicology, I cringe.

Marrk said:

I like TRC better too, but doesn't he play most of the instruments on that too, except for drums?

andyman91 said:

mmm. you may be right. checking the Liner notes it mentions Najee and the Horheadz and Larry Graham on bass on two songs. And that's it. I must say if the rest of it is Prince, i'm impressed.

I guess everybody associates TRC with Rhonda and Renato and Co is cause of The Celebration and the ONA tour where most of it was played.

i want some more of that around the world, lovesexy, parade, gspot, to trip is to fall wierd 80's type shit.

Marrk said:

And the album does sound more like a live band. I think it's got to be largely because of John's drumming.

I'm in agreement. I need some of the deep, wierd funk. Kinda like the song Crystal Ball or Tamborine or Cloreen Bacon Skin.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I want some of that wierd, make an ugly face type funk!

Marrk said:

Ditto!!!!

Yes, this is what I want -- more guitar. I love his guitar solos and I love playing it loud in my house. Bambi has that guitar driven sound. I want to hear more like that. Even how he ends Pink Cashmere rocks. I hope his next album ROCKS

I want the Return of Camille and the Kickdrum and Sped-up Horns. But it just ain't gonna happen

I want burning, blazing guitars played by Prince on the next CD. I want it rocking so hard my hair stands on end!!!! lol

WE WANT THE FUNK!!


I want a "Gold Experience part II". Funky shit, some rock and pop sliced in, but all funked up. Funky Funky Funky.

lisa, wendy and prince...

(co-sign.. that's all i want.. that and those old prince drums and synthlines.. and.. nevermind.)

Awwww.
The older we get, the more we start living in the past.

I just woke up from having had a dream in which Prince and the Revolution were performing in sumthing called The Revolution Revue, featuring The TIme, Jill Jones and Sheila E.

gooeythehamster said:

Oooh! I like dreams like that! Sometimes, if you can catch what they're playing, you can get a song out of it..... (Although, doesn't seem quite so great in the cold light of day...)


Personally, I kinda liked the direction he was going musically with TRC: John Blackwell's drums; jazz influence, but not pointless jazz noodlings (a la N.E.W.S.), etc. If he could lose the stupid Vader voice, and make the lyrics a little more personal (rather than just weird, dogmatic rants!), I think it could be interesting.

Shame we can't turn back the clock to the Revolution days, but I think something like Emancipation CD II's songwriting, with TRC's musical arrangements, could sound kinda cool and contemporary.... Won't happen though.....! (And I'm sure some would say, that's a good thing!!)

Anything but another Rainbow Children or Instrumental like news or xpectation

CURSING.

Lot's of CURSING and talk of vaginas.

Oh yeah---easy and the jazz and no RAP.

Other than that he can do a polka album for all I care--I'll end up buying it anyway.

If he could duplicate the rich sound of Lovesexy and the charm of OneNiteAlone with the zest of the Gold Experience that would be something I'd want!

That would be titled Spooky Electric

i would personally like 2 hear a blues album

but like said b4, anything he puts out id buy anyways

I'd like an album with a couple of soul tracks, some funk, a little jazz influenced material, some rock and one track that's impossible to categorise.

A prince album.

Marrk said:

Rock. Really hardcore rock. Music that makes Purple Rain look mellow and lyrics that make Sister look like a church hymn. I want Prince to rock hard, get nasty and drop this Jehovah shit!

Luv & Peace,

Clubbin' in Mpls/A Night w. Prince

no ballads, not too many voices and not too diverse...just a coherent project.
