The Emancipation Challenge So many orgers say that Emancipation would have worked better as one cd. Here's your mission: Create the cd you feel Prince should have released from the tracks on Emancipation. Since Prince only put 12 on each cd you have 12 slots only to fill. Have at it! When  go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all  up in the house but when log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming! | |

I like it as a 3-disc set. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

You hit em hard to open w/ Right Back Here in My Arms. ...Keep em grooving to Sleep Around followed by Style, and White Mansion.
...I need some energy ...In this Bed I Scream. ...Somebody's Somebody is such a good song it needs to be up here somewhere. Emale brings back that mid-tempo funk. Segue: The Plan Songs I assume are directed toward Mayte come next. Curious Child, Dreamin' About U, and The Holy River. I would close with The Love We Make. | |

I personally think the album should have been 3 individual CDs released 4 months apart - thus 3 over a 12 month period, allowing each to have its moment in the spotlight and get some singles off it that reflected each disc the best.

Swa I agree with this. When I get a lot of music at one time I can never really get into it as there doesn't seem time to absorb it. There's always something new coming along so by the time I started to get into things, along came Crystal Ball. With all the music there it really was Rave that I ended up getting into. And that's saying alot 
Staggering the releases would probably have made me appreciate it more. Although a lot of it is drivel 
This just made me realise somthing. Emancipation is the first album I didn't get to know all the lyrics by heart and funnily enough I haven't with any other album of P's since. Interesting.... [Edited 7/26/09 3:10am] Swa, how would you have released the singles if you'd been calling the shots?

There were some good tunes on the disc, but it all sounded a bit plastic. I thought 'emancipation'would sound raw.
1. Slave 2. Jam of the year 3. Right back here in my arms 4. Somebody's somebody 5. Dreamin' about you 6. The Holy river 7. Let's have a baby 8. Mr happy 9. Face Down 10. My Computer 11. Soul sanctuary 12. The love we make A double album would have been cool Ditch the following: 1. Betcha by golly wow! 2. Courtin Time 3. Damned if i do 4. I can't make you love me 5. One of us 6. The human body 7. the plan 8. da da da 9. in this bed i scream 10. we gets up 11. sleep around 12. sex in the summer Green virgin teenager, or filthy rich yuppy. Pussy cat pussy cat, where for out thou puppy |

I took into account the singles which were released from the album so by default they are included. I worked the track configuration around them using in my opinion the 4 strongest songs from each disc.
1. Jam Of The Year 2. Right Back Here In My Arms 3. Somebody's Somebody 4. Betcha By Golly Wow! 5. Soul Sanctuary 6. The Holy River 7. Saviour 8. Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wife 9. Slave 10. New World 11. Face Down 12. Emancipation Funny enough, my itunes playlist comes to exactly 1 hour. | |

"Right Back Here In My Arms" – 4:43
"Somebody's Somebody" – 4:43 "Betcha by Golly Wow!" – 3:31 "I Can't Make U Love Me" – 6:37 "In This Bed I Scream" – 5:40 "Soul Sanctuary" – 4:41 "Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wife" – 7:37 "Face Down" – 3:17 "White Mansion" – 4:47 "One Kiss at a Time" – 4:41 "Let's Have a Baby" – 4:07 | |

I'm just chiming in here on the fact that as much bashing Prince gets for his rapping I'm seeing "Face Down" on a lot of these lists. Very interesting and contradictory to what a lot of orgers think is good Prince music.
