Fucks sake!!!!! It feels like a short fella is having a laugh at our expenses here. I said a while ago-my pc's too crap for his flashy site-cool-not his fault/problem at all. But I see even folk with the newest pc's out there are having problem. He's given alot of us absoloutley no way of hearing the album-until its released-if that happens and at what price!!!!! Again-fucks sake. How long as he been doing this. This is the first time since 1987 i havent had a release on the first day,I've been to every live gig in the uk bar about ten-since Lovesexy.....I am a fan -feeling kind-a stupid though right now,.. Its killing me that its there-but just out of reach for real fans that back his art to the hilt and care. I've even tried the torrent route-and believe it or not-have found it-three times so far-but again-closed clubs-hust the ''few'' get to hear. Being someone that does things differently is great-when it works-but this shit plainly don't. After the damp squib of 'coming jan 2009-this tops it all. Noow we have to bear another two weeks of this crap till and if we get it here-i say if as i went ib HMV yesterday and asked if i can get a physical copy in my hand on the sixth-the gyt checked-and checked-and...said he dosen't know-its not down as HMV-its an import company getting it-fot SIXTEEN POUNDS. i said-are you sure-were quotesd as alot more-he said it could change....WELL YOU DONT FUCKING SAY!!!!!

I've a fairly old computer, but it's streaming the new music just fine. Haven't tried to download anything yet... video is a little jumpy, but the new music plays fine.

Having said that: relax, go listen to some old music and build your anticipation... actually, don't... you'll get too worked up... go listen to either rainbow children or planet earth to help build your anticipation... and then you'll be fine.

Having said that: listen to some other new music by other artists you can access until Prince's work becomes available.

You'll hear it. You'll just have to be a little patient... or take the risk with your pc.

Please calm down, you're about to pop a blood vessel or something!

ok we shouldnt have to wait. we should be able to pay for this site with out any major problems. 77 $ is alot these days and we all have enough headaches and this just adds to it. In this digital age, the problems should be minimal. The website people should have known that we all would swarm the site for the music and videos. I have downloaded the CD's 5 times and can't open the filesyou want to talk about pissed!!!! and im sorry but that is unacceptable!

OK.....ive had alot of pretty nasty IM's since I posted this. Im happy for those that can get in etc-and the ones that paid-well I would-IF I FREAKING COULD. The ones that are mocking me cuz I cant get a torrent-mock this -I just sent the names of these 'closed' sites to Lotusflow3r-AND I SERIOUSLY HOPE HE CLOSES THE LOT DOWN AND MAKES YOU AS PISSED AS I AM RIGHT NOW YOU DICKS

U obviously do give a rats ass to be posting. Just saying

Among other things, this was one of my concerns for folks who joined.
The site feels like something from the 90s just after Flash technology started taking off and folks were all crazy about it.
It also is confusing to navigate, the riddle to join is silly, and the 'Universe' it creates is neither interesting enough nor expansive enough to justify it's existence.
It's a neat site for a few minutes, but gets tiresome after the initial curiosity wears off.
Moreover, what if you have an issue? Where's the link for contact information? The link for emailing the webmaster or customer support? Nothing on the website has standard a standard menu. There's not even an option to go to a special page that lists the basics, or a low-bandwidth option.
It's not a great website. Luckily, I have a great PC and had no issues, so I'm not affected. But I imagine there are a lot of frustrated people out there. For 77 greenbacks, there should at least be a 'contact us' menu option.

ok




























...sorry anx, i just had to borrow that reply.
