...can we xpect something not for the $$$$(Musicology/3121/PE are 4 the masses and the Money)...but something surprising from the Man.....a New Concept Album ....something strange...entertaining project Musicaly???.....i hope for something really New and Princely before the end of this year...i want to 4get this 5 Bad years....i can't believe that the Prince who made Albums like The Black Album is the Prince Who gave us POOR ALBUMS like Musicology/3121/and PE!


This is not possible

i'm not expecting anything interesting to his retail outlets
in the next 2 years or so.

my main hopes are directed toward 3121.com and the chance he
might open up another music download section.

perhaps his next album will be another internet only release
or at least a dozen of occasional tunes.

he should explore that avenue some more, it was nice.

Hopefully something risque, but risque and classy. Something funky...I wasn't around for some of his funkiest stuff, so hooking the later generation up would be sweet but who knows, he's a real man of mystery.

'Something with flutes'

It's in Prince's interview with 'Giant Magazine'.

Flutes remind me too much of 'pan-pipes'.

I'd like a straight-up, old school Funk album where Prince didn't give a damn about the charts. Organic jams with Maceo Parker.

well there's a flute running all the way through Get Off
so i guess flutes doesn't mean it will be non funk music

I think it would be a great project to open up the vault and let some of the hottest producers around at the moment (Mark Ronson, Timbaland, Pharrell) do their version of some unreleased tracks.

no please no! just open up the vault and allow some of that huge
amount of material to seep through the cracks.

release them online or better yet, have people order copies from
his website. actual cd's.

Whatever he does, I really hope he takes his time and considers the meaning in what he does. I dont want another set of poor unfinished demos (like on PE), but then the overcomplicated, overarranged 3121 and Musicology was too much to bear as well. He needs to get rid of those classical mids and ends that he infuses into much of his sound.

Most of all, I really hope he has a deep think about his lyrics. I want him to be a respected writer because I know he is capable of something deep. His religious writings of the past were OK, because they were about interpersonal battles, now its all preachy and stupid. He needs to smarten up, he should stop telling us how to do stuff and start telling us stories like he used to in the past.

The perfect new album for me, would be a simple story going through it, a concept and a theme that has nothing to do about war, nothing to do with JW. I would like him to be himself, be playful and experimental, yet also be deep and personable. Get back in touch with his faithful fans.

Something a long the line of N.E.W.S. would be fine with me.

ThE ReVoLuTiOn Will Be HeArD...Mind U 'm Lovin PE (We'll 80% of it anyhow)

Open up the God Damn Vault and release a 3CD set(Masterpiece)
Unreleased Gems from 80's/90's/00's

eVolSiDoG!

Stop chasing Prince's ghost, I hope he does just what he says he's gonna do and go study the bible.

I'd take all 3 of the most recent albums ahead of The Black Album anyday. I'm past the point of getting mad when Prince chooses to go in a direction that I wouldn't choose for him. It's his career after all!

A Bible study will bring us loads of new music won't it?

wlcm2thdwn said:

what's so wrong with that, really? all those songs are circulating
in really crappy quality and for more than 20 years people want to
hear them in clean cd quality.

if he hates people talking about all that stuff why not just say:
"ok, here's another crystal ball with all the well known stuff on
it. have a nice day and don't bother me about old stuff anymore".

flutes could be all shades of great, didn't he go through a period where he had a flute player?


(sorry about the blank post, my comp spazzed)

My friend, the Planet Earth ride is just beginning. Sit back and enjoy!

an album with Grupo Fantasma

Moonbeam said:

I couldn't let this slip by...

crystal ball 2, but this time with a more organised distibution

love2thenines2003 said:

Damn Dude you sound depressed.

Well, I'd hope that we would get 2 hear the other 20 songs that were recorded, that didn't make the final album configuration, but we'll not likely hear those...

Giovanni777 said:

do you know any of there names or how they sound?

RumAndRaisin said:

I haven't heard them, but was told that a few of them were really Funky.

There were a couple of titles I heard, but I cannot mention them.

Giovanni777 said:

ohhh

prince could added at least 4 more songs to planet earth.

hes most likely gonna put em up on a new npgmc style website

Revolution said:

Sorry, but I think it's the most overrated album in his catalogue.

what next after P.E? .. a rest!
i think its time now .30 years in the game ect. that he put out some kinda of best of compilation or compilation .. like bowie ones .. 69-77 .78- 89 ect
who knows what he does next .. maybe a movie . .Graffiti Bridge shouldnt be his last .

I'm sure his next project will be something Strange & Off-The-Wall, completely unconcerned with radio play or general acceptance, since his pockets are already nicely lined. He'll indulge himself with whatever mood he's in at the time, and it will be well done. People will be fighting to be the first to get their hands on it, while calling it garbage at the same time, complaining that it doesn't sound like Prince from The 1980's.

Honestly, even though I'd like a "wow, OMG" album, it doesn't matter to me as much as seeing him frequently release music now.

It would be SOOOOO nice for 3121 to start offering jems from the vault, etc.

Prince confessed as recently as the Musicology interview that he's "always making new music" so it would be nice to hear some of it.
