prince fans are so spoiled.

Are we in the 3121 era now?... or is it the Musicology era still?... whatever it is it is pretty boring. What era is this? and how long can Prince starve us of funky music for?

Well for europeans, it is a bit weird. he hasn't done anyhting around Europe now for 3 years. We have had all this musicology tour excitement to find out that he wasnot flying across the atlantic eventually.

So I'm sure you will understand why some people are a bit frustrated. people would like non cryptic officials decent news from time to time as well. That's what most major artists do on their official sites.

Moreover Musicolofgy was a very average album. So that's make the wait feel even worse hehe.

What is happening as well is that most of his musicians have solo careers and had to do their own thing for a while. Candy and maceo are everywhere. John Blackwell as well.

I would have liked to take some non-Prince-fan friends to see the Musicology tour over here in the UK. The 'hits' nature of it would have appealed to them.

Yep, all that cryptic advertising Prince did about 3121 certainly paid off - errr - .... I think '3121' was the number of hours before Prince released a new album...

For as long as he wants, I guess...never mind that the vault is probably overflowing by now. Maybe that round building at PP is a vault annex?

Am I the only one who thinks Prince should take his time and put out product when he has enough really good material. One of Prince's issues in the 90s was rushing product out before he had enough really good songs. I think a cooling off period is exactly what he needs. I'd rather wait a little longer and get something really good rather than get something rushed.

Prince is a multi instrumenatlist. he can make a new album on his own!

On the Much Music special he said it was a second Vault

In theory, that's true. In practice, I'd rather have the material before Prince over-produces it. Fans that have heard early raw boot versions of tracks invariably prefer them to the released versions.

I think you can work on an album for years trying to create perfection - and still end up with a turkey. Or, like Kate Bush, never get round to releasing a new album at all for fear it will be imperfect.

There's no use worrying over something you can't control. Enjoy what you have right now and just accept that you'll get something new when you get something new.

I don't recall him saying that specifically that building was a second vault - he just stated that he had more than one vault now.

BTW...I always figured in Prince Famville an "era" began
with the release of an album.

Hmm... remember the Gold Experience "era"
It "started" on Febr.14th 1994. Prince did a lot of shows etc..
The album was released mid 1995...
