Right now I just want to get home from work, finish downloading the wav files, burn to CD and go nuts. Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad. |

dartluv5 said: Valentina - No, no no. Just doen't do anything for me. One of the first that I would skip on the album. Why would I care to listen to a song dedicated to Penelope Cruz? Nothing stands out.
Luckily Prince did this as a dedication to Salma Hayek and her daughter.  Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad. |

Can anyone share where to download MPSSound? I'm on that infuriating guitar landscape, and I inadvertently found the secret spot last night, and now I can't again. And it's seriously pissing me off.
Isn't it somewhere near the keyboard/high rise? ARGH! Why does Prince have to be such a controlling egomaniac? What, does he think we're all 12? Has he never heard of web design usability? (And I work in the internet... grrr.) | |

Hi everybody!
Can anyone spend a word about the production, intended as quality of the recording, if it sounds (so fookin') perfecly clean as the previous albums or..., etc...? Let me know, I'm really curious about it... Thanx! | |

If I play this while on the subway, they may need to call the cops on my ass cause I'll be dancing to this CD, even in the middle of a jam packed subway car! This CD is just HOT and I'm on "Valentina", what a kickass track! RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

The last moment of "Better With Time" from the build up of the final verse ("When the hair that frames that face...") and on to the end is, how do you say, transcendent. I am in the middle of "Ol'Skool Company". For me the only disappointment about this whole record is in this track as well as the first three. It is when Prince tries to be "Urban", using words like "da man", "sho'ty", "power to the people", "suckas" the fact that he is naming a song "Ol'Skool", this is where he misfires IMHO. I am glad he is at least using the sped up voice for this track, and I know the MPLSoUND is his Black Album for the new milenium, so it is a small thing. But he can still groove that LINN-1 Drum machine. Got one more track to go, Prince. Ooops, "No More Candy 4U" is playing--this track fucking ROCKS! Chalk one up for the Kid.  dude c'mon you think Prince wrote all that music for himself and the Time and isn't urban? He is Old School and using old school terminology. He is being himself. What did you want him to say Fuckas!! He said Suckas because thats what 50 year old black men say. Prince trying to sound urban? You guys are so funny The Time used words like "sho'ty"? For the record, I fucking LOVE MPLSoUND, the record is hot. My criticism is the ONLY thing that pulls me out of the flow, but it is a small thing--like I said, the record is H.O.T. Let's be fair though, give me the most urban, street, funk ass lyric from a Time song and we will go from there. I'm waiting.  I wish u heaven |

Let me know, I'm really curious about it... Thanx! Yes it is just about perfect. THese are some Linn samples that sound maybe 22khz like the bell ring (i.e. Vibra...-Vanity 6) and the ripshot (kuh) but overall everything is pretty clear. The beginning sample vocal for Dance With me sounded like a bootleg at first..I thought I accidentally put on a boot when it first came on but it was supposed to sound that way. Sounded like if he turned down that vox to 11khz. The drum track for No Candy 4 U is in the Black Sweat vein as in drum pattern sound quality..maybe that's why this sonds sounds more so like a vault track. Pretty darn good album.

Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |
