Xpectation Listening to Xpectation today. What a gem! I wish I could get my hands on an official copy (if one exist) The homemade version I have starts off with the guitar version of "Beautiful Strange". What's your thoughts on this truly underrated disc. Also, what's your favorite song from the CD? [Edited 8/29/09 10:37am] | |

It was only released officially as an NPG Music Club download ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

I like most of the songs on this album but Xpedition is my favorite.
in fact, Xpedition is imo worthy of a place in the post 2000 Top 10 best prince compositions. there, i said it  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Can somebody provide more info about that? i remember that too. but i doubt it will ever happen, the Xpectation album is already 7 years old. i mean, damn, where did the time go? 
i'm still a bit sad that it wasn't released on the bluenote label back then because i'm sure that if it were released on an actual disc in stores it'd have sounded a lot better. the soundquality is good, don't get me wrong, but i would love to hear it even better, more crisp n all. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

The song(s) Beautiful Strange have nothing to do with the digital LP Xpectation released on NPGMC. 
Track listing: Xhalation Xcogitate Xemplify Xpectation Xotica Xogenous Xpand Xosphere Xpedition Shame that a studio cut of Xenophobia never made it on the set. That's a jam. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

It's one of my favorites! It showcases Prince & The Band in a creative era where they explore NEWwayS (Xpectation, CNOTE). Man what a jazz thing, it continues where the Madhouse projects two decades ago got a hold. And they got Vanessa May in the studio, right?
If you turn up the volume in your sound system, the electric piano makes shake everything in the room. And the question that is bottering me for years now: WHY was Xenophobia NOT in the album? Xcelent live tune! "Can I get U anything?" | |

People have speculated on this, but the exclusion from the final release was never properly / fully explained. ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |
