Only "Empty Room" has lyrics and singing...the other four tracks are instrumentals (though he does say "Tokyo" several times on that track).

If you like NEWS you'll like this.
It was released a day after Xpectation. | |

"It" wasn't released at all.
A few days after Xpectation was uploaded members received a link to a download of ONE of the CNOTE tracks, apparently based on their location. Word got round that there were 5 different tracks and clever folks noticed that if you changed the final word in the link to the name of the track you could download them all. All the tracks also quickly found their way onto P2P networks. It was later that the name CNOTE was given, based on the first letter of each track's "name" and the theory that this was a response to complaints of the club not fulfilling it's promise of 4 new albums for the members who paid $100 (or c-note). All orgnotes and emails requesting trades or how to acquire bootleggage will be ignored. - The ThreadKiller - | |

That's true - but just to add, it was eventually released as a download which can be obtained throught the NPGMC Musicology store. | |

and may i just add that it is a wonderful "album" indeed.
i like it more than both Xpecation and N.E.W.S. the songs are all of amazing quality and particularly the double suite "Osaka/Tokyo" is among the best things he's done for a long long time. Empty Room is one of his best tracks and yet i would not mind it being omitted from this album and being replaced with one more instrumental track -that's how good those instrumental cuts on this album are.  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Yes, I love those two as well! You just have to dig a little deeper and you can still find such beautiful little pieces from him.
Are there any overdubs? If so, they're working perfectly. | |

It was released a day after Xpectation. It's WAAAAAY better than SNOOZE. It's what SNOOZE should have been. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

IMO C-Note was the best instrumentals from Prince since the Madhouse days. Knocks Xpectation/NEWS for six! If you haven't got it, get it! Everybody is special. Everybody. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. Everybody. Everybody has their story to tell. |
