That Song, Wasted Kisses, Come On, and Mad Sex are all songs I just love, making NPS a very underrated album to me. Course, it could have done without a few others.

the song The One is such a Beautiful Romantic song. How could One not fall in Love with Prince?

I used 2 think N.P.S was a poor album... That & Emncipation compared to the rest but its very funky, The One is an excellent track. All this talk of New Power Soul reminds me of Wembley Arena 98' - Got 2 say that was good but I'm glad that era has finished... Come on down John Blackwell instead of (boring) Kirk J. Michael Bland still rocks the house 2!!!

Such a beautiful, dreamy song. I'll never forget seeing Prince walk onto the stage at Wembley Arena, in 98, with the instrumental version playing. Talk about goosebumps!

Even the remix is cool.

Hey I like the remix, too.
But would have loved it if he had done a version based on strings - violins, cellos and all. It would sound incredible because of the harmonies.
Maybe we should call C.F. to arrange this one.

Calhoun - it's FAB! It was a B-Side to the 'Come On' Maxi-single. (It also featured on one of the first year's NPGMC downloads).

AGOTAJONESMARTHA - I mentioned Clare Fischer on another thread the other day. Don't you just LOVE his contribution top Prince's songs???! Such passion, but never overwhelming. Imagine listening to 'Crystal Ball' or '3 Chains O' Gold' without the strings. I'd love to be there when he receives the DAT tape and has to decide on what to do with them

I have been to (only) 10 prince concerts but his performance of 'The One' at Wembley in 1998 was the all time highlight for me. It was mindblowing live, and would love to hear it at the upcoming concerts.

Peace

ONENITEALONE I feel your love for what this man's doing.
He's added an extra twist to some of our favorite songs... and I read that Prince doesn't make any "prescriptions"- he just hands him a tape and allows him to add his thoughts.
The One is one of these songs I always wanted to hear with strings only...he could do something brilliant with it.

Really! It was spine tingling stuff,,,

Prince went off-stage for a costume change ehilst The NPG did their thang. Then all this dry ice appeared and Prince S-L-O-W-L-Y emerged through the mist, as lasers flashed behind him. It was spine-tibgling stuff...

Day 3, Xenophobia. Previous night's set cut short due to technical problems (but with the added joy of going to see 'Minority Report' with Prince. And a thousand others) so on tenterhooks. Standing RIGHT near the stage in Paisley Park.

Suddenly - a trumpet blows from the back and Prince, like the Pied Piper, leads The NPG through the crowd, RIGHT past me! He was so close I managed to touch his shoulder!

And, by God, he looked funky as HELL that night. Best night of the week by far.
