Ok it's official this is some real good shit. You know how i know; i listened to colonized mind, and then listened again. and now i'm on my third listen. and i haven't rushed to the others yet! So i've got them to look forward to

I'm crap at describing music, but this just sounds inspired. Like there's a fire in his belly

I never knew orgers were that desperate.
In a few weeks we will hear them, we waited for a year, we can wait for another few weeks, right?


[Direct request to orger snipped - hey, guys... let's knock off the blatant requests for boots, eh? Thanks. - June7]

just kidding....

How you you think on it!

As this thread has turned into an ORGnote fest... let me just say something here, and this is 2 all of U 'Planet Earth' haters...

If Prince had done the EXACT same thing (sudden announcement with songs live on radio) with the songs "Planet Earth", "Lion of Judah", and "Chelsea Rodgers", U would have all been creamin'...

Don't even try 2 deny it.

I'm really feeling "4ever". Better than most of the rock/pop stuff on PE 4 sure.

Giovanni777 said:

Yup. Same if he previewed 3121, Black Sweat, Love and the Word the year before. Infact, if I's heard those four songs as an album tease in 2005 I'd have wanked myself blind.

Lovin' this!

NICE flow!

I'm all exclamation marks!

From 'Rolling Stone' online:

Los Angeles’ rock radio station Indie 103 was “summoned” to go up to Prince’s home this past week to preview his new album. According to the station’s “Mr. Shovel,” Prince doesn’t have a record label and “wants nothing to do with record labels, so he’s meeting with people to figure out how to operate at his level without a record label.” Following a long conversation with the Purple Rain star, the radio reps were played the new album in Prince’s home entertainment theatre. “It’s heavy, rockin’, and our enthusiasm was immediate,” Mr. Shovel said. Prince then said the station could preview a few of the new songs on Indie 103, so that’s where were we today at 3 p.m.

The album kicks off with an explosive, four-minute instrumental before launching into the first song that was played on the radio… Prince covering Tommy James & the Shondells’ “Crimson & Clover,” with the Purple One altering the lyrics as he’s been known to do during his cover performances. Keeping with the original, the vocals sound like Prince is submerged under water. Things deviate at the chorus, however, as Prince belts out the “ooh baby, I think I love you” part of Jimi Hendrix’s “Foxy Lady.”

“Colonized Mind” was the second song played. Another laid-back guitar joint, it seems like Prince’s intention on this album is to make people stop dancing and just chill. More aquatic layering on Prince’s voice as he sings politicized lyrics with lyrics along the lines of “Did you know your record deal was another way for ‘The Man’ to steal.” Yeah, we don’t think Prince wants anything to do with record labels. The guitar solo is killer, out-guitaring the entirety of Planet Earth’s “Guitar,” before the chorus returns.

“Wall of Berlin” was the third song played. Again, more guitar virtuosity by Prince. If he’s aiming to make an album similar to Side C of Electric Ladyland, he’s off to a good start. The songs also sound more intimate, like the Artist recorded these songs without any Revolution and New Power Generation behind him. “4ever” is the ballad, with Prince busting out the piano before being joined by backup singers. It’s not “Free,” “Ballad of Dorothy Parker” or “Sometimes It Snows In April,” but it’s still a solid, latter-day Prince slow dance as he ruminates about marriage and being with someone, well, 4ever.

And that’s all we get. For now, at least. Again, according to the DJs, Prince’s new album is finished and he’s just looking for a non-record label vessel in which to release it. We’ll keep you posted in what promises to be a busy year for Prince.

Need to hear this stuff real loud real soon. And Crimson & Clover....

kimmy21 said:

They weren't THAT good, nothing mind blowing or that he hasn't done before, but they were a damn sight better than anything on 3121 or Musicology that's for sure.

I don't get overhyped by his new music very easily, but Colonized Mind is one of the best Prince tracks in many, many, many years. 12, 15, 20 years?

Crimson & Clover is a really well done, guitar heavy cover.

The other 2 I still haven't made my mind up on though.

On thing needs to be said - I hope these don't get remixed and overproduced before we get an actual CD, because they are sonically perfect like they are (and I'm just listening to the radio rips).

Colonized Mind is great, but you guys heard 'The War' right? It's part 2.

What was that they were talking about at the start re: the long (4 mins?) of instrumental noodling that went into/served as the intro to (I presume) Crimson & Clover?

I said the same thing.

ALL HAIL TO THE NEW PRINCE!!

I LOVE colonized mind

NouveauDance said:

This is rehash I can live with

that's my indy 103.1

Crap, I missed it. Were they funky?! I'll keep an ear out maybe they will play again. Heck, I'd be happy if I knew when a new cd was coming out. Prince, if ya listening we need the music....we want an album...I need my fix! By the way we want another US tour too. Yeah, I'm being greedy.

June7 said:

I thought I was the only one who noticed that. That dumbass!

Giovanni777 said:

Actually...I believe he did preview the lyrics to Planet Earth on some award show. (Remember how he went to the podium with his spiral notebook?)

I believe my exact utterance following the reading was, "I sincerely hope those weren't lyrics."

4ever is growing on me. And Wall is great. It's official, all the songs are great as far as I'm concerned.

Let's get some news on when we can get the rest. I can't wait to hear these in full quality. I wonder what the kbps of that radio stream was? I think it's like 64 or 96 or something.

Anyway, good to hear such positive response to the new stuff.

Peace.

I absolutely loved all 4 songs!! Colonized mind and Forever are incredible.

Wall of Berlin and Crimson were Jimi Hendrix revival done Prince style. I am

sooooo excited!!!!

Thanks for this Prince, its a huge suprise! I NEEEEED this album NOW! Fun

album and I loved the lyrics for colonized mind. This will be monumental. I

cant wait to hear the rest! Congratulations.

Peace and love
