Colonized mind is dope, 4ever is cool too, I can see why the chicks would realy dig it. Wall of Berlin rocks! Top favorite, Colonized mind.

MMM I am not to sure about these. It sounds like "private" tracks that you would only here on a bootleg when Prince has no intention of releasing them.

I can't understand with a man like Prince WHY he has to continue to sing other peoples songs on his albums - if these are indeed album tracks.

That 1st "CC" Track is the BOMB.....dam it's hotter than a hot day in very hot place close to the Sun!

That 2nd "CM" Track is a Legacy Track...a Classic...in its own right...man its lyrics are deeper than a deep place at the very bottom of a deep ocean...that has a hidden cave..

Track 3 WB & four 4 Ever second time i heard them today and they have grown on me big time...typical Prince he makes wine, taste it too early you won't like the taste ...give it awhile...and BANG..sh*t that stuff good

Roll on the new CD i say....Thanks P

great stuff!

Colonized Mind is the most exciting thing I have heard from Prince in a very long time. Love the others too, particularly 4ever. Thank U Prince. Get the new album out soon....

a new prince album, im so excited i think Im gonna cum! thity one twenty one

Maybe like Wendy & Lisa?

04. [There'll Never B] Another Like Me

Didnt like this one. Sounds like it´s from the NPGMC days (Chocolate Invasion and such). Hope it´s not included in the new album.

But the radio tracks are fantastic.

i hope so too. the sooner the better but i think he'll try to look
for a new way to release it. something no major artist has done yet,
something with a magazine or something like that.

or better yet, maybe he changes the production and improves it, like he did with ´Guitar´

GustavoRibas said:

better yet, all new tracks. just the 4 radio tracks on the new album
and release a whole host of other tracks. like the ones i mentioned.
put them up on a site somewhere as a bonus to download with the real
album.

yay.

On the plus side, most of these tracks sound more "organic" but they're not really standing out for me on first listen... Hopefully, they'll improve after a repeat.

Same for me. But I love Crimson & Clover anyway and he did a fantastic version of it. Would be an understatement to say that Colonized Mind grew on me and the other tracks are so much fun, too. I wonder what else will be on there.

Finally heard them and I am thrilled! He's totally rocking out on these tracks and I love it. Colonized Mind is dope and 4ever touches me, just wondering if he's coming to grips about finding his true love...in this lifetime.

New music and new live shows in 2009!!! can't wait.

was there any mention of what the new album might be called?

That's pretty much how I feel as well. The C&C cover isn't bad but I don't really think it's that superior to the original. (Which I am ambivalent about--maybe that's an issue.) I don't really like his voice on Wall of Berlin and Forever, and they sound sort of formulaic. Colonized Mind is definitely the best for me--I thought it sounded cool when I heard it as the first song at the Hotel Gansevoort concert and that "coolness" is still present in the studio version.

HERES THE 4EVA LYRICS U WANTED OK !!!!!

4EVER

If eye never get 2 hold ur hand
If eye never get 2 b ur man
That’s OK, cuz eye got other plans
Right now, right now

If eye never get 2 kiss ur lips
If eye never get 2 feel ur hips, close 2 me
That’s OK, eye ain’t gonna trip
Not now, no how

Cuz eye got 4ever
4ever
Eternity is just one kiss away
So they say

The opera just got all the fare
Cypress, if eye never get 2 take u swimming there
If u never know how much eye care
I swear, (know what) it’s not fair

If eye never get 2 make u laugh
If u never get 2 take a bubblebath
See, eye don’t wanna part with u, not 2night
Gonna b a part of my past (don’t do it)
Eye just want, eye just want, listen…

Eye just want 4ever
Eye just want 4ever
Eternity is just one kiss away
What u say?

4ever
So many things we can do in the new world
Eye can b ur future lover
U can b my future girl

If eye never get 2 see ur smile
Underneath the white veil, walking up the aisle
Eye just might go crazy, eye might go wild
So let me tell u baby
Stop looking at me like that unless u want 2 bite dat

4ever
4ever
Eternity is just one kiss away
What u say? 4ever

4ever
4ever
Eye don’t wanna kiss ur lips
Until eye get 2, uh, ur hips
...why so serious?

Crimson 'n' Clover - Who knew he was a Tommy James fan? Lovin' the dip into psychedelia.

Wall of Berlin - More guitar!

Colonized Mind - Okay, I have ripped on him for naive politicizing before, but I quite like this one. I look forward to delving into this one some more. And the guitar...well...

4ever - Love it. There's something about it that puts me in mind of Splash. Something in the string arrangement, I think.

There'll Never B Another... The weakest of the bunch, I think. I don't hate it - but it's kinda generic.

just found them. wow. i look forward to hearing them in better quality. it sounds awesome. still tho, it sounds tinny but good to hear Prince rocking it out.

Colonized Mind is killing me!!!!! truly awesome. who is playing bass on that? is it that woman - can't remember her name - who played with Jeff Beck? i dont think i've heard bass playing on a Prince track like that b4!

i like all the tracks including the one on mplssound.com
it sounds like maybe he's got some new session guys.
