I finally forced myself to listen to Kamasutra.

Although I wasn't completely turned off by it, I can say comparisons between Prince and Mozart probably should be put to bed.


It's really boring and repetitious!

Did Prince write this thing in its entirety? What were the original plans for it? What was he thinking exactly?

Honestly, an instrumental version of Parade would have blown this out of the water. This thing is remarkably boring!


I like 2 songs: The Plan, and Kamasutra/Eternal Embrace

And even then, I don't necessarily love those songs. The later having an ever-so slightly Beethoven-esch vibe ala Moonlight Sonata but without any payoffs.

I have listed once to Kamasutra,

yuck what was he thinking: 0/10 alert

Exactly

But I'm being serious and meaning this in the most literal sense: What was he thinking?

It is what wrecked Prince's first marriage.

I can't remember what it sounds like tbh, I don't think I've listened to it since I fist got the cassette from 1800NF, not sure I ever played the CD that came with CB.

I might pop it on the ipod and give it a whirl, if my ears fall off I'm coming back to this thread for compensation.

I'm guessing he wrote it with the "ballet" of Mayte's NPG Dance company in mind. Maybe it was an organic thing (do you think he and Mayte worked together with the dancers to make it all fit?), or maybe it was just Prince noodling away on his own again and then telling Mayte this is what you and your team will dance to?

It makes nice background music in my classroom.

I've only listened to it once,all the way through.It's not really the type of music that does anything for me
