LTFOL acole...I learned on the last two websites. Sure as hell wasn't taking the chance on this one. Some things just never change. | |

Militant said:[quote] BartVanHemelen said: and as I also said the last time you came with this bullshit: The entire idea of someone not wanting to do a remix because they don't like the original track doesn't make any sense. My cousin is a professional producer and remixer and has been approached by record labels before to do remixes for people like The Fugees and Lady Gaga, and has done so even when he doesn't necessarily like the original song. Because it's an opportunity to make the song better.
Simon from Basement Jaxx is a friend of my cousin, so if his actual quote isn't good enough for you I'll ask him in person. OMG, THANK YOU, that's freaking hilarious!!! Militant - +100000 and Bart scores a big fat ZERO.  | |

NONSENSE said: I personally think everyone should refrain all criticism until they've actually heard the finished product. It's funny how people just jump to conclusions. Think about it this way... This song has nothing to do with Prince. He turned over complete control to someone else for a remix. No harm done.
I think most folks have heard the entire remix by now. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

U people r prejudging. U complain when Prince doesn't do anything 2 promote his project. Now when he does u still complain . Ur never satisfied. Let the finish project come out then judge.
By the way I heard Prince new single "Better With Time" on the radio this morning. Here in LA a huge radio market. DJ seemed impressed with it  will ALWAYS think of  like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that wasn't of this earth, would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. |

I haven't bothered downloading the mixes...and after hearing/viewing this I'm still not really interested...it didn't work in the 90's and it doesn't work now IMHO....but whatever floats your boat...I don't like it much, doesn't mean its bad...it just isn't something I'm excited by....
an extended version or B-Side would be something I'd be interested in..... or maybe if it was available via Lotusfailure.com....then at least we'd have something for our $ and patience... Prince is gonna have to give me a lot more than this to justify taking my hard earned cash for his 'universe experience' this year!! |

augustwinters said: Why you guys so hard on this. I like techno, house. and club music and I like this mix. I also liked when I could get 5 versions of Eye Hate You, Get Off, Space or the Versace/pussy control mix.
The only song getting air time at the clubs occasionally anymore is Pussy Control 95. Especially for the party scene in Europe and other contemporary cities...this could be cool. Keep it coming...I'm buying it! This song is great for the club. Prince can have several remixes done if he wants. A lot of the people complaining about it may not dig it and I doubt many of them don't go out to clubs and dance often because they're too busy on Prince.org. | |

I like the bass part of the remix, it's not bad at all and I can imagine at the right time in the right mix it would go down well in a club. The piano part I didn't like though & there'll have to be more ingenuity in the remix all together so it's not too repetitive if it's going to a club hit. I would not call these guys in studios musicians, they are technicians. Computer music will never rise above the real thing.

So where is the CD-single?
What `B-side` will it have? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

I just heard the full 7 minute version and can confirm my initial impressions based on the "making of video".
The remix sucks. Some drugged out and drunk club goers may be able to dance to it, but it offers little else. Pretty embarrassing, really. This isn't real music. I'd rather listen to Gangster Glam or Clockin' the Jizz. Final Grade: F "Greed is Good." -Gordon Gekko | |

IstenSzek said: as always. there's talk of a single. there's a bit of hype, as far as
you can still call it hype these days. then, without word or anything, the song is on itunes. without those remixes that were rumoured. meanwhile we're 3 months down the line. then, about a month or 6 weeks after the itunes release the remixes appear. the video will probably be released mid november 
why can't he ever just have a video ready and throw the whole package, single, remixes, a cool new bside and the video all out there at the same time. there's no use for hype unless something follows it. but, oh, wait 
it's prince, lol. i don't care about how he releases stuff or about any of his zany and non-profitable marketing techniques because i'm around anyway and i'll pick it up whenever. but for non prince hardcores, what's the appeal? everything is always so difficult with this man. far as the remixes are concerned. this remix is boring, repetitive and extremely bland. that said, i'm glad there are at least some remixes. it was about time. and this remix is doubly bland because we're used to prince doing his own remixes and, let's be honest, a prince-by-numbers remix on any day beats this kind of so-so club tune. now, how about releasing the single (3 remixes, a new track as bside, the video and some artwork) on his own site?  it's all so true!!!! | |

It's an Alesis Andromeda A6.. one of the coolest analog (but digitally controlled) polysynths ever made. That slide thing is a ribbon, which you can use to assign all sorts of parameters to. The synth has 16 voices, each consisting of 2 oscillators, and it's 16 part multitimbral (meaning that it can play 16 different sounds at once). It has 2 filters, one based on the moog ladder filter (like the minimoog), and the other on the oberheim sem filter (oberheim used to be a staple in Prince's sound in the early 80's). A friend of mine used to have one, which he sadly had to sell so he could pay the rent for his house.. lol. They used to be really expensive, but nowadays they go for $1500 - 2000 secondhand. http://www.youtube.com/wa...E_5MiNpmts [Edited 9/12/09 4:02am] [Edited 9/12/09 4:05am] | |

Zannaloaf said: How come everyone wants a B Side. How bout making the A sides worth wanting first? It's like everyone is begging for the past. Kinda weird for all those that still think his stuff is as great as it ever was.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say "It's like everyone is begging for the past." Generally I have enjoyed Prince's music from 2004-2009. I think the A-sides are great. That's why I would rather hear more new music as a b-side as opposed to a subpar remix that Prince had nothing to do with. We all know that Prince records a ton of music, I'd like to hear more of it and b-sides are one way for that to happen. | |

What then would be the really interesting part of the single if I would ever find it on this continent? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |
