Black Sweat

Prince must've done his playbacks at home on a Panasonic boombox that I have 'cause I have never heard it until 2nite. WOW! What an amazing mix. So many layers.
I'm givin' 3121 another chance.

I listened to it recently with a bucket on my head and a finger up my ass. The dynamics were unreal.

One of the best trax he's ever done. Miles better than Kiss. Wish it had an extended version.

Black Sweat is a pinnacle of the MPLSound.

yeah it's only too short, missing some nice rhythm guitar.

Kiss is still miles ahead of Black Sweat imo. wink

@tangerine: wouldn't exactly call that extended but, i haven't heard it nonetheless. The live version is the closest to an extended version we got and its oh-so-sexy!

btw, is that you in that picture, if so, your voluptuous.

It would be a great track if the the high pitched whine didnt make my ears bleed. This song is proof that Prince has had major hearing loss.

I doubt that. That's one of his trademark high pitched whines.

But he has always done that in his songs. Ever heard "Let's Prened We're Married" or "Something in the Water"? err

Are we talking about the same thing? I'm talking about the wannabe "Summertime" sinewave sound. I dont recall that in those tracks you mentioned.

He does whine a bit in those songs or maybe that's the screaming part. Anyway, whine is part of Prince.

Yes!

I always thought that song ended prematurely. If a longer version was released, I could imagine it would have been a real summer jam.

That album was marketed all wrong. why release 3121 when Black Sweat was more radio friendly (RB radio at least)

Why not release single of Incense and Candles.. instead of... TC. Again on RB radio... but I do believe if he had hit big on RB radio.. crossover to pop would have followed.

I had my iPod on shuffle yesterday and Kiss came on. I was floored by how amazing it was, thinking: BS comes nowhere near this...
Then two songs later BS came on!! (freaky that) Anyway, it too floored me and totally held its own v Kiss. Both classic trad
