Put the idea of Prince's old bands in the perspective of an old girlfriend.....
The idea of going back is always tempting but its better to move forward than to get stuck in the same pit.

Agree and I believe he would have a been there done that type of answer and would like to work with talented artists that he finds will currently enhance his work.

1) In the 1990s, numerous artists who sold far more product than Wendy & Lisa got dropped from their labels. Within the context of Prince and label security, asserting they were safer with him misses the point that they were his employees.

2) See #1. The Org is full of folks complaining about huge talents being dropped by their labels while less-talented people get tons of airplay.

3) I never said Prince stopped writing good music when they were gone. I agree with SirPsycho and others who say his writing has fallen off sharply since then. And, I hold to the point that his non-r&b stuff has been marked by a mostly downward trend. He still has done funky stuff. But, with the experimental fusion of jazz/classical/rock/funk and new age that Wendy & Lisa do so well largely gone from his music, a dimension has been missing since the Parade/SOTT-era work. And, that was my point in comparing their song stylings.

Wendy:

I have told him OVER AND OVER. I would do it in a NYC minute.

Lisa:

I would pull out more personal acoustic songs. Maybe get back to a more simple and raw expression without any worry about attitude, but only the innocent self discovery and honesty of self love, excitement of a beautiful chord, and softness that might be raging inside.

Like a picture of a prize fighter when he first wakes up in the morning.

the jazz fusion has never been stronger imo

the revolution is very overated and it relates more 2 some fans wanting 2 c them back 2gether only because of purple rain nostalgia then actual musicianship.

I would love the Revolution to comeback - i could use another "Erotic City" or "Girls and Boys" instead of "Chocolate Box" and "Dance With Me"

I think it would be an exciting and challenging collaboration. I feel that Wendy and Lisa have matured greatly in their songwriting and musicianship, and could once again inspire Prince to move in different musical directions.

If Prince asked you to produce an album for him from scratch, what would you try to pull out of him that you haven't heard from him either of late or ever?

Sorry but I think ya'll give them too much credit and I think that he doesn't need them either. Music comes and it goes and his music is just fine without them in the studio with him. I think because of the film Purple Rain that alot of you just think that they made Prince a superstar when no one would even know who they were if not for Prince. I mean how many years have gone by since they were disbanded? I liked the Revolution and all but I actually love the band that he has now. I mean do you go back and kick it with your old friends from back in the day and think that things can still be the same. NO. People change and evolve and like different things from when they were young. Prince is fine in the situation that he is in now.
