I forget what this was released on.. I think it was internet only about 4 summers ago.

I like the programming on it.

"Considered for the 2000 High album, this song was available as an edit as part of the "NPG Ahdio Show #1" in February, 2001 and later released in its full version as an MP3 in September, 2001. Prince used the backing track for his sung "thank you" during the Yahoo Internet Life Awards on July 24, 2000."

High is the name of an unreleased album by Prince. The bulk of the material was written after the Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic sessions but before The Rainbow Children sessions. Some of the tracks may have been considered for an aborted fourth NPG album called Peace, but most were intended for the High project. The album basically celebrates the return of Prince (having changed his name back in 2000) and the title track refers to Prince's music giving the listener a natural "high". Incidently, this theme was used in the 1982 outtake, "Purple Music".

The tracks, although not outstanding by Prince's former standards, are a considerable improvement over most of Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic. Totally free from the boundaries of marriage, Prince appears to be returning to his more sexual themes in certain songs as well as using "adult language" and mild curse words. For some reason, Prince scrapped the idea and instead recorded and released the religious concept album The Rainbow Children in 2001. His reasoning behind this is unclear, although rumors include disapproval from religious and musical mentor, Larry Graham, or perhaps weak response from a major record label after the recent low sales of Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic under Arista. Prince may have simply lost interest in the project, as he been known to do throughout his career. Nevertheless, most if not all of the tracks were released in some form or another. Eight songs were released as 2-track limited CD-singles during Prince's 2001 "Hit'N'Run" tour and many others were released as MP3s on Prince's subscription website in 2001. Two albums were released as downloads on Prince's site in 2004, The Slaughterhouse and The Chocolate Invasion. Both have tracks from the aborted High sessions.

I definitely don't need wikipedia telling me which of Prince's songs or collections of songs are outstanding by his former standards or not. That's a biased opinion, not a fact. I'm looking at that list and I see one of the most outstanding collections of his career! I'm only disappointed that he didn't release the last two tracks on The Chocolate Invasion or The Slaughterhouse.

and thank god for that. i like the tracks well enough but i'm
very glad that he decided to release The Rainbow Children, as
it's his most rounded and well crafted album since The Truth.

i'm still expecting My Medallion to make some return one day,
together with the rest of the tracks from npgmc year 1 that
didn't make either The Chocolate Invasion or Slaughterhouse.

this song used to get played at paisley parties frequently...

i liked the self mocking humor of the acceptance speech set to this beat


i don't know, why i win awards
i can't lie, i only know 2 chords

That's a positive way to look at it! If I had to choose I'd rather have TRC instead.



I was really looking forward to hearing all the Ahdio Shows I missed when the website was suddenly shut down recently....not to mention a few scattered tracks I haven't been able to locate.

.....

I've never heard this song.

Hope it stays buried, it's the sound of Prince trying too hard..the Yahoo speech was way better
