Planet Earth cover and LOTUSFLOW3R

If you will all recall the things said about Planet Earth's cover when we first saw it in 2007 (and by the way -- wow, that was 2 years ago already?), they are very similar to the comments being made about the design of his new website, and most likely the album cover up his upcoming LOTUSFLOW3R album (another sidenote: do we know if it's spelled like that or a variation.. Lotus Flower.. Lotus Flow3r.. LOTUSFLOWER..??)


Both images feature a view of the world (green and lush, the typical picture of Earth on PE / dark, dismal, and broken in Lotus) as well as Prince is a sort of 'godlike' position -- much larger than the world in PE with his hands over it ominously / enveloped a crystal ball/jewel in the center of the 'new galaxy' in Lotus -- which brings me to the 3rd thing they share in common, a space theme -- with the planets orbiting Prince and the world in Planet Earth and stars and lighting surround Prince's new galaxy floating in space ...

There seems to definitely be a connection, not to mention the "pennies should scatter" reference previously discussed ad nauseum.





(ps i hope this thread wasn't too "mzkqueen03" for you... she passed me some of what she's smokin and MAN!!!! lol lol )

Anything's better than the Musicology cover. Ugh.
I wanna be loved to the 9s, so let me cover your ass with this sheet, and baby, you better stay on the beat! Cause you know the Karma Sutra? I can rewrite it. But, with half as many words.

The Musicology cover was embarrassing, but I like the 3121 cover.

Yeah I'm gonna have to a agree with that one.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

I'm not holding my breath for what I'm about to request but I would love to have a new Prince CD that's in a Jewel case. I don't know what it is that he's been using for his CD's in the last several years but whatever it is, it's wack.

I've liked all of the covers just because they are what they are...
I especially like the way that "N.E.W.S," opens and folds, and I wonder if that is a less expensive cover to make.

The CD cases he's been using are more ecologically friendly. He should continue to use them.

The concept has always been a strong element in Prince's music and it grows and grows with his new vision. We may appreciate it or not. Personally, I like the concept of Lotus Flow3r, even if I don't quite get it yet; obviously there's a lot of JW related study in it, we know Prince works under the influence of his current faith.

I like the way he envelopes his cd's recently.... it reminds old vinyl sleeves, it's like a little return to the past.

The 3121 cover could have also been better if it was a widespread front-back cover, like the expanded picture from which the actual cover was taken; red curtain background, the raised hand of Prince and the phrase 'Dont' U wanna come?'.
