Even Price's early studio stuff went through the console of his home studio. I think Dez was referring to his live set-up. It's very possible that P mic'd an amp or two while recording, but there's more evidence to the contrary. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

I was thinking about the guitar playing of Purple Rain vs LotusFlow3r
I was also thinking about the Minneapolis sound vs 2009 Minneapolis Sound when I saw the Breakfast Club this morning and Jesse Johnson has a song at the end of the movie something about that 1983-1985 sound via Purple Rain, Jesse Johnson etc etc it still sounds so futuristic (a lot of movies then had that future inspiration/apocolyptic) I think it's why I still think that music just rolls over most his sound after the 80's there was something so meaty and 'not of it's time' that just catches my attention. | |

What he's doing now sounds overly convenient for him - plug into a device, press record, play. It's lazy and it shows. And you were saying.....? 
And SG - thanks for allowing me the pleasure to read all that again - fabulous insights ...we have only scratched the surface of what the mind can do...

I was wrong to call him lazy. He's never that. I'm just frustrated that he chooses processing over organics. That's fair, I think. | |

i think he sounds better know than in the PR days. He used too much flanger and delay (in the 80´s) for my taste. |

Firstly, it's mostly a Strat he's using. Second, I know he went through some tubes in the signal path. Also, the tone is like a cross between Prince and Hendrix. Do U really think the guitar tone is thin on "Dreamer" and "Wall of Berlin"?? I have only one question... How R U listening 2 this album? It is made 2 be heard through a proper stereo system, and loud. I'm not trying 2 insult or demean your impression. Just sayin'... The guitar tone throughout the 'Lotusflow3r' album is the best I've heard on record from P. You're exactly right, I would start with "Boom" in a auto with a Bose stereo, you'll change your mind after a listen! [Edited 11/18/09 8:48am] | |
