"Dark" or "So Dark" - which is better? Dark from 1993's "Come" album?
So Dark from 1998's "Crystal Ball" album? Same lyrics, different music. I'm digging both right now, but probably if forced to choose it would be the "Come" version (a little less moody). | |

I guess I'd have to agree with the Come version, only because the Crystal ball version is a fraction slower...Sounds like different track overlay's or something...I don't know studio lingo, but the crystal version has more static. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

Speaking of comparisons, I like the jazzier version of The most beautiful girl mixed in with 2morrow..versus the Radio style Gold, only for personal listening. My opinions could change if I was making a choice for the general public. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

I love So Dark on CB. It has a funkier groove and beat, and Prince's vocals are stronger. | |

So Dark. I could listen to that all day. The original is cool too though. Did you order a pizza ma'am? Prince- UTCM | |

Dark wins by a mile for me. I love the arrangement and it just hits certain emotional peaks that I feel So Dark doesn't. |

I love "Dark" and it is far....far....FAR superior to "So Dark". "Dark" is a great sexy slow jam. "So Dark" is a shit hop sounding embarrasment. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Well I've only heard "Dark" from the come album and I LOVE that version. Unfortunantly I don't have "Crystal Ball" so I didn't hear it!  surviving on the thought of loving you, it's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years... | |

Agree 100%. Dark features a rockin' band, and really feels like it's happening now. So Dark is a crime against humanity. DaveDare79 said: I'm digging both right now, but probably if forced to choose it would be the "Come" version (a little less moody).

michael b's intro speaks it all ...BAM! Dark! man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

I prefer Dark, it sounds more sober and sincere then the version on Crystal Ball.
The extra instrumentation on So Dark, 'glossyfies' the bleak lyrics about heartbreak on the original version. | |

So Dark from CB. Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U. | |

Dark seems so dark, So Dark on the other hand reminds alot of the remix of I Hate U, a little more commercial & less gloomy |

DARK definetley by a whole 100 miles .. it has a great vibe an a great live/loose feel .. SO DARK is just too comercial an poppy . an kinda tacky . So Dark is what was bad about some of EMANCIPATION disc one an some of RAVE .. the beats are too basic built in keyboard beats an the whole sound loses its edge .. DARK is very much a kick arse song an impressive .. SO DARK isnt either.. its more like a cheap kareoke backing track version of DARK . whenever i want to hear some new music ...i make some - prince '99' | |
