I looove purple.
- batdance.

There is this part in "Adore" where the music turns heavenly beautiful - touches me everytime.

Not a strictly 10 seconds list

Alphabet Street 12-inch: "This is not music, this is a trip."
Computer Blue: the final 45 seconds of guitar thrashing
Controversy: the Lord's prayer section
Glam Slam: the closing string outro
Housequake (live): "What was that? Oh! It's.....KAT!"
I Would Die 4 U: opening 30 seconds, just gets me everytime
Little Red Corvette: again, the opening chords
Mountains: "Africa divided, hijack in the air" luv the verses SO much
Baby I'm A Star: the Minneapolis funky jam towards the end, picture Jerome Benton doing his signature "Time" dance to it, I gotta dance!
Condition Of The Heart - the whole song is bliss
Sometimes It Snows In April - closing 10 seconds
Life Can Be So Nice - opening 10 seconds
Still Would Stand All Time
The Morning Papers - guitar solo
I Like It There - guitar solo
The Love We Make - chorus sends shivers
Good Love (emancipation) - keyboards going crazy

Rainbow Children probably has my favourite 10 second guitar bliss moments actually:

Last December - the guitar solo midsong is incredibly uplifting
Family Name

Damn, I've rattled on too long, sorry!

"Tony, what you need is a manager."

"For what?!!??!"

It's actually: what's that? ain't that a bitch?.... No, I think it's....CAT!!!

Thibaut said:

Here's another 10 seconder I love.

At the close of "Everlasting Now", when you think the song has ended, then Prince shouts "Psyche!" and the jam continues once more, until "on the one!"

DaveDare79 said:

I think that's actually Femi, not Prince himself.

Another 10 seconds I love:

"STARFISH AND COFFEE" part of short piano medley on the LOVESEXY tour video.

You know, I listened to this again, it's indeed the shit! But it fades out all too soon.

The end section of Escape (Free Yo Mind from this Rat Race):
"No punks allowed- MUSICAL CRUCIFICTION - goin down, down...."

The way he says musical crucifiction gives me friggin goosebumps!

The beginning of the extended portion of Feel U Up (Long Stroke) when Camille says "Ha! What's the Verdict?- We don't like suspense- How can U resist my burn ing kiss??): I probably rewound that damn part 100 times cuz I couldn't believe my ears-- pure bliss

ahhh, Camille

The very beginning of Computer Blue: I don't care how many times I hear it; those drums with that squeeling guitar and W&L dialogue is and always will be the definition of what sex sounds like.

I always loved that climax in Crystal Ball.

My baby licked me fast
Her mama watch her gas
Come on, baby, do me fast
Come on, come on
Your mathematical gas

1 - what! no flash again?
2 - heavy feather flick a nipple, baby scram water ripple, i
don't understand, it means i love you.
and 3 - barry me face down let the mutha fuckas kiss our ass OK

oh oh oh wait a minute. the part in the sexy m.f. video

prince - U, U, and U, git in the car,
levi - you on the wrong side of town mother fucker (or however he says it)

'I'm on fire 'til you come and put me out...

All I'm tryin' to say
is that
my
psychedelic


shouts..


..when you damn me...

...damn u'

I can listen to this over and over and over and over

and also:

- the screaming guitar in the end of Calhoun Square, just before it stops.
- the screaming guitar at the end of South
- 'strapped to the body... makin' love to the strings.'
- Pink Cashmere from start to end
- instrumental part in the second half of 'Make yo Mamma happy'
- 'And if ya don't really love me!... then gimme the electric chair (ending of the song)
- instrumental part of 'It'
- instrumental part of 'In this Bed I Scream'
- the chorus in 'Emale'
- the spoken part in 'I Hate U'





Damn, Prince is the best!

You're sooo right. I think it's The Rapture, with the magnificently insane guitar licks... Love it!

the guitar solo in 'batdance'


i'm totally serious.

BoraBora said:

Oh God, yes. The same thing happens on the full-length version of Mountains. It's the bit when it all breaks down... You've got that weird (almost Tijuana) brass, playing that riff against the drum machine beats... The orchestra swells; sounds like it collapses again and then the bass comes back and it soars like bubbles in a champagne glass.

Anx said:

U R not alone.

I remember hearing this for the first time on the radio and being amazed that the local R&B station was playing a song with such an awesome guitar solo.

the end of Damn U

Cloreen said:

I'm going to do just that.
Then I'm going to loop it, normailize it, add some samples from Prince's sample cd of Prince talking shit, and lay my own lead solo over the top. Now that is going to be PHAT!

Graycap23 said:

Man, that is a great idea. I'm going to give it a go and just loop that "Can't Stop" bass line (I won't be laying any leads over it, though, I'm strictly a rhythm player). Thanks for the idea.

Oh, my! I have so many of these, it's unbelievable!

- The bridge/chorus of "Sign 'O' the Times;"
- The outro of "God;"
- ANY 10 seconds of "Power Fantastic," but especially the flute solo and the outro;
- The little string passage in "Dear Mr. Man" when he says "How 'bout this hole in the ozone?;"
- The segue into "The Marrying Kind" and the end going into "If Eye was the Man in Ur Life;"
- The end of "Darling Nikki;"
- The intro to "Wasted Kisses;"
- That really quiet transition from "Dark" to "Solo;"
- The last chord in "Dolphin;"
- Passages in the middle of "Now;"
- ANY 10 seconds of "Shy;"

Unfortunately, that's all I can think of at the moment, but there are many more!

This thread is great. I've gone back to listen to so many of these...

skip said:

Yeah, this is working out nicely.

It seems everyone has little parts that may seem insignificant to others, but mean a whole lot to each poster here. I am going back and listening closer to these examples.

Great stuff, keep 'em coming.
