slaughterhouse + the chocolate invasion Only slowly is the slaughterhouse growing on me.
Funky. After the expectations r down it's quite enjoyable. After forgiving the obvious mistakes like "peace" and "radical man". One finds good but modest grooves. I 2 prefer 2 listen songs. Chocolate though seems 2b a more commercial attempt. I like every song, mostly "Judas". High is very strange, in a creepy way, but I like it anyway. Plenty of very sweet jams on there though. Does this fine freaky album have a history I don't know about? I purchased "1 nite alone", "chocolate" and "slaughter house" all at the same time, and soon after I was too busy with work to really savour them. I think I prefer "chocolate" to "3121". Do these albums have histories? | |

Just a mish-mash of mostly previously available downloads. They were supposed to be proper albums released with with a big CD Set through NPGMC. The plug was pulled on the hard copies at the last moment due to "manufacturing problems". So we got the lossy mp3s instead. ![]() If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

A few of the NPGMC songs from that era didn't end up on either of those albums ... namely "High" and "My Medallion".
There are some really good songs on both of those albums. Perhaps they might see the light of day eventually as proper CDs. | |

We have those songs of course, either by burning our downloads or on bootlegs, but it would be nice to get quality CDs direct from the source.

I don't know what's going on with this board, but this is what I tried to post:
I really like both of these albums. I think that when people stop limiting Prince's music to their expectations they are able to enjoy his creative offerings much more. Overall, I think that most of the NPGMC stuff is very underrated. The Slaughterhouse and CI get much play from me. I would love to have official CDs for both. Some of my favs are: Silicon (I LOVE this song!!! I usually turn it all the way up.) Golden Parachute (laid back, souful mellow funk) Props n' Pounds (that modulation is TIGHT!!) Peace (funky and uplifting - nice message) High (fun) Hypnoparadise (dreamy) Daisy Chain (minus the rap. I made my own edit.) When I Lay My Hands on You (this song is so HAWT! sexy lyrics, vocals and guitar) Supercute (cute) Gamillah (beautiful and serene) You Make My Sunshine (soulful, great vocals) I know I am forgetting some. ![]() perfection is a fallacy of the imagination... | |

I think as Prince has slowed down releasing music, it is forcing people to go back and re-listen to this stuff, and it is growing on people once they give it a chance. | |

And what u say about the expectations is of course perfectly true. The idea of trusting the unknown is often scary, but that's the only place where things r real. You hit on a deep note! The daisy chain is my favourite groove, I can easily tolerate the rap. Again thanks 4 the lyrics, and the post. ![]() | |

Both albums are throwaway filler at best.
I skip through most of the tracks after an initial listening. I never much cared for Prince's plastic albums, and still think they're crap. | |

I think there was some very strong material during that period. U Make My Sun Shine and When I Lay My Hands On You both have incredible vocal arrangements IMHO.
I also adore Hypnoparadise and The Daisy Chain. Vavoom and Supercute are also fun and very catch pop songs. Had he compiled the best material from that period and put out an actual CD release, it may have done very well. | |

I actually have been listenning to both of these again this week.
Some good stuff there. Much better than what is on the radio now. In some ways it is a shame the original "High" album never came out. It would have been fun. Maybe he will release some more "other" albums soon. | |
