Tales From An Electric Sun

Years ago, I remember seeing a tracklisting for an unreleased album, Tales From An Electric Sun. For a while, I thought it was fake, until love4oneanother updated their site announcing the Face Down 9-track maxi-single (which never appeared) and, later in the year, 'something Electric'...

Anyone remember the exact quote? Even more interesting, anyone remember the tracklisting? Some tracks were just listed as instrumentals - it was claimed they were just written down from listening to the source tape at WB.

[Caveat: I'm not claiming this album is a true Prince album - it might be and it might not be]

I just realized this thread got buried. People talked about this a lot around 1997 - doesn't someone here know anything about this rumored project?

Never heard of the album or of the info from the Face Down maxi-single.

ok, I just did more research. I still can't find the tracklist, but the album information was posted on PPML back in the day - in November 1996. Someone had heard the album and wrote down what they thought were the titles - some of the tracks were instrumental, so those titles weren't known.

Now, this may have all been made up, but I can't believe no-one else remembers this...

I remember the story of the executive writing down the tracklist after hearing a demo played at a meeting.

No clue as to tracklist though...
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
