damn that's hard

01. purple house
02. breathe
03. madrid 2 chicago
04. cybersingle
05. when will we b paid?
06. van gogh
07. my medallion
08. contest song
09. jukebox wa heartbeat
10. one song


i'm tinkering with this right now. i don't want to include any songs
that are from the npgmc but obviously from much earlier like Splash,
Mad, Funky Design.

there's Habibi which could be included but that doesn't really flow
with anything imo.

are there any songs i'm missing here? like Purple House which wasn't
an npgmc release but was on the Power of Soul tribute to Hendrix.
there weren't any other occasional releases at that time were there?
i think the bamboozled soundtrack came out round this time with the
track radical man but that's on slaughterhouse.

i'd like to replace the contest song with something else and perhaps
it could be replaced with the "emanstrumental" that sounds like it's
an instrumental version of The Holy River. but that's reaching back
too far imo.

Van Gogh is probably quite a bit earlier than any of the other tracks
but than again Slaughterhouse did have Hypnoparadise which came from
the same sessions iirc.

urgh. i'm gonna need 2 more songs to make this into a decent album

although, i could also pluck one or two mediocre tracks off Chocolate
and replace them with one song, purple house and when will we b paid,
making that one a fucking ace prince disc:

01. when eye lay my hands on u
02. supercute
03. purple house
04. underneath the cream
05. vavoom
06. sex me sex me not
07. when will we b paid?
08. the dance
09. gamillah
10. u make my sun shine
11. one song

forgive me for taking up your time with this but i just love
to play around with all that npgmc material.

i guess i would have liked it better if prince had "created"
one more album and pulled together most of the loose stuff,
which now doesn't really have any place to go.

i've listened to this twice in a row now [i know that would be hard labour
for some of you guys lol] and it flows surprisingly well. that material is
quite fluid in a sense that you can pick and pull from those songs and you
always come up with something that fits quite well. wether that makes the
material good or not remains another question, lol.

IstenSzek said:

Hello lover.

bump



Love that you're trying this

No underneath the cream ?

Fhunkin said:

that is a fantastic song

Fhunkin said:

underneath the cream is officially on "the chocolate invasion"

IstenSzek said:

Hence, "leftovers"

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

i guess no one cares about this thread though. they're all too
bussy ripping prince another a-hole over his new albums which
they haven't even heard yet

IstenSzek said:

I include "Paradigm"(w/George Clinton) and "Waiting Room"(No Doubt) in my NPGMC tracks, since you're including "Purple House" you might also include those?

S.I.T?

"Silver Tongue" might also help fill out a disk.

UniversalSon said:

ooh yes, Paradigm, i always forget i have that one that would fit
nicely.

thanks

UniversalSon said:

Such a beautiful song.

IstenSzek said:

I thought Contest Song WAS The Holy River Instrumental?!

And what about Western Song? Shouldn't that be on your CD?

scififilmnerd said:

what is "western song?" the contest song is an uptempo
The Work/She Gets Her Way kind of groove. it's got some
guitars and kind of live sounding drums and all.

the holy river instrumental was released simply titled
"instrumental" in one of the npgmc monthly instalments
along with hypnoparadise and van gogh iirc.

scififilmnerd said:

is that the one that goes

"all my old biddies live in new york city, that's why i kick it in la"

is that the one?

That's like a tour de force of mediocrity

Imago said:

i know, but sometimes i just want mediocrity and when i'm listening
to it i enjoy it a lot.

after that i don't listen to it for 6 months only to rediscover it
again and enjoy it all over again.

it's like christmas...without the presents

IstenSzek said:

We should really discuss this over the phone.

Imago said:

there's 15ft of snow over here and it's minus 20 degrees celcius

all the phonelines and networks are out. even if i gave you my #
you wouldn't be able to reach me since all the lines are dead.

we're completely cut off from the outside world. no communication.
no radio, no tv. no electricity.

except internet....

well and uhm.....well.....

oh fuck it, it's still -20 tho, at least that part was true

i just don't want to hear the batdick joke, i really don't

IstenSzek said:

or anything else for that matter

IstenSzek said:

Yeah!

IstenSzek said:

Oh. Then I don't have Contest Song. Yet.

I just read Possessed by Alex Hahn again this Christmas, and in the list of NPGMC tracks, it mentions a song called I Like To Play. I don't have that, either (yet? ), but shouldn't that be on your CD, too?

scififilmnerd said:

never heard of that "I like to Play" track. what's more if you
haven't got "contest song" what makes you think you will get 2
hear it in the future?

well?

my guess is you'll probably never hear it

IstenSzek said:

Alex Hahn must have gotten his wires crossed somehow.

IstenSzek said:

IstenSzek said:

totally agree with you
he should make a hardcopy of all of it
