and i will b asking the both of u what's on there b4 i plunk down any ca ching

The price is great. But I don't think the 3CD thing is a good idea, particularly for the general audience.

Just one great CD is all that is needed. IMO.

A MYST influence on the graphics and design (malzone/clay)...?

Prince Teams With Target, Sets Release Date

Prince is releasing a triple album on March 29th to be sold exclusively at Target for $11.98. Two of the discs, MPLSOUND and Elixir, feature new music by Prince and the third disc is performed by his new protégé Bria Valente.

As if that wasn’t enough Prince news for the day, Spinner got a sneak peak at his new website Lotusflow3r.com, which is set to launch in full later this month. For the price of one subscription (possibly $77 per year), fans will have access to tons of live video footage, as the site’s designer, Scott Addison Clay, says Prince has been archiving film of all his concerts since the Purple Rain era. The extravagant graphics and design of the site were inspired by the video game Myst.

The 3 CD concept is a great idea. In all actuality, most Prince fans will only buy the two Prince cds. The Bria cd will be off the racks in a few months if radio does not embrace it. The concept allows for a lot of material and different choices for the consumer. It also allows P a lot of creative outlets.

He didn't play a song called "Break It Down" at Coachella.

He did, however, play "Shhh" - which starts with the lyric, "Break it down..."

Did I see where all cd's are sold in one package for $12? Well, disregard my theory but what a great deal.

This sounds intriguing, for sure! The live videos would be awesome if they are as extensive as is hinted here, and I might even get to see myself on stage.

I'm less hopeful about the unreleased music component. That was a huge carrot for NPGMC, and it didn't live up to the hype.

Nonetheless, I'm sure I'll shell out the cash for Prince goodies.

Now I am officially excited! March is typically a pretty good month for Prince and I hope that it stays a great month for him this year. March 29th can't get here soon enough!

It really sounds like 09' is gonna b a big year 4 the Purple 1. 3 CD's 4 $12 sounds priced 2 sell AND I think Colonized Mind will make it big. Next up? A World Tour 2 promote the projects... Bet he brings some "old friends" along 4 the ride

Question: How is it "obvious"?

Exactly what i was thinking.
If the 2 new Prince cds are so different from one another in style, like has been long hyped, they should be released seperately. Releasing them together with a protege cd (normally second-rate at best) thrown in, will downgrade the quality overall. Just like the Truth album would've made more of an impact if it had been realeased as a singular album, i'd much rather LotusFlower be judged as a single album, not part of some sloppy Crystall Ball type missmash with some bland middle of the road protege act.

finally!!

in full!!



yay!!

cant wait!!

According to Clay, Prince has filmed almost every one of his concerts since the 'Purple Rain' days, and to prove it, he had Spinner click on a video link inside Prince's virtual head, where we discovered a performance of 'Break It Down' from last year's Coachella show.

I know I tend to be ms. sunshine...don't complain...errthang's great.
But I don't trust mister censor with his old video's.
I don't.
Prepare to be surprised.

Don't get too excited, claims like this are made in princeyland all the time. Just like those who believe he rerecorded his entire warners catalog... Yeah, right...

I Would DIE to see some performances from the Purple Rain and Lovesexy Tours.I always thought that the Prince and the Revolution live video released in 85 was not representative of that tour. Also I bought a bootleg of the Lovesexy tour (sorry Prince) but the quality was awfull. If the web site has a good archive of live stuff 77 dollars is worth it.

OMG!!! I'm totally wetting myself right now!!!! I can't hardly wait for this thing to go live. I just hope it's not a total dud. If it has everything promised it is going to be the BOMB!!!! I'll pay $77 for that. Especially the live footage.

I faintly remember NPG and it didn't seem that well put together. Hopefully this one will be better.

The one thing that I don't agree with is selling all three as a package. I myself had no intention of getting bria's CD,so I don't like the idea of,you have to get them all or nothing.

EmeraldSkies said:

well, since the entire package seems to be $11.98, the price of ONE cd, surely you can put up with an extra disc that you aren't interested in.

Geez, give it a rest. Did people really think that it meant YOUR lifetime??? How in the hell would that even work? Are they supposed to watch the obituaries to figure out when your membership expired? When joining, it said VERY clearly that it could be stopped AT ANY TIME they decided. You agreed to that when you signed up, so let it go FFS.

actually i like that idea so that maybe instead of dissing it u might just give it a fair shake and listen 2 it. and i 4 one am estatic that her album will b included cause then i won't have 2 go searching around the store 4 it and they don't have it stocked. it's all a musical journey, even the proteges, sit back and enjoy the ride
