"Roadhouse Garden"

Around the time Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic was released, there was a lot of talk about this Revolution era album. What has happened since then?

Since the Brit Awards, I am wondering with the fences mended between P, Wendy, & Lisa, if this album may see the light of day?

Not much to tell really - it got shelved.

Prince announced work on an album of "unfinished" Revolution era tracks in late 1998.

It was gonna be a compilation of Revolution-era tracks, not an original album from the 84/85 period (as some folks have sometimes mistaken it for).

No tracklist is known, and tracks mentioned for possible inclusion were: All My Dreams, Witness 4 The Prosecution, Splash, and presumably the title track.... I think there was at least one or two tracks mentioned, if anyone could fill in the blanks for me smile

(Speculating: it's likely 'Our Destiny' could've also have been up for inclusion since it's segued from Roadhouse Garden).

I think In A Large Room With No Light was mentioned, and perhaps Empty Room. It seemed that Prince was going to 'finish' the 'unfinished' Revolution tracks, which probably means, given that this was '98-'99, that they would have ended up with the same kind of record-scratching present on Splash, since that was an NPS-era sound, not a Revolution sound (other than the opening to America, of course...)
