Info on "C-note" and "Xpectation" please

I'm going to be downloading these full length albums from NPGMC, but I could use a little background info on them first. What are they like?

Instrumental twiddlings.

C-Note is like NEWS (i.e. crap)

Xpectation is more like Madhouse (i.e. the dog's bollocks - that's good BTW).
Don't worry, I can't get pregnant - my ovaries are diseased......

Hmmm...of the 2, I listen far more to CNOTE than Xpectation. I agree that NEWS seems to travel nowhere fast, CNOTE is far more condensed and works as a result. I would get CNOTE just for Empty Room - fantastic track, especially if you've never heard it before biggrin

Oh, yeah! I forget all about the live version of Empty Room, it's worth the price alone,

It had been a long time since I really enjoyed a Prince album from start to finish. Xpectation is a great album. CNote doesn't really fit together as a cohesive collection in my opinion, but if you're a completist, it's worth picking up.
