HI!

I think this song is one of the best of the 90's era...lately I have read that the solo (truly beautiful by the way) is played with an electric violin, actually I though it was guitar, specially the bit where the wah-wah goes wild.
so, is this violin or guitar? who played it?

"Exodus" credits:

"Denis Boder makes love 2 an electric violin on Hallucination Rain"

thank you!

It actually sounds like a meld of the 2:
there is definitely Electric Violin but it also sounds like they blend it in2 guitar but eye cannot confirm this - just what my ear says


any thoughts?

I think you should read the album credits.....see above.

relax

eye have read the credits

but the credits do NOT say
"THERE IS NO GUITAR on here"

also if U have paid any attention 2 Prince through the years
he has the least accurate
album credits and often mis-credits people or doesn't credit them at all.

Also - eye did say there was electric violin but there mite b guitar also...

...so like an Eskimo....chill

I can't read anything you're typing. I don't read Princebonics. Good luck in your search.

It is indeed a violin and that solo is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever in his catalog. Stunning.

I concur.

thaCONcept said:

I agree with you. There does appear to be transition from the electric violin to an electric guitar during the solo.

no transition at all
its electric violin with wah wah effect
no guitar

Has anyone heard the full length unedited version?

it is amazing! he shouldn't have edited it, totally spoils it.

Actually....

The Violin (wah-wah effects and all) is the lead but the electric (wah-wah) guitar in the backround is Prince....

Jshua

what in the world is wrong with me?

i dont know this song..

what album is this on?????

is it on the NPG album? i guess i need to get this.....

NPG's 'Exodus' album from 1995.

There's also a longer unreleased version circulating.

If you don't I'll help you out, because I have that extraordinary skill of being able to actually read "Princebonics" - no lie! - although it took me several years to figure out what they might possibly stand for...


Anyway, nothing he said was wrong, he even might be right.

However, this is most likely an electric violin only.

itsjustaroundthecorner said:

Exodus is the best NPG album, by far. In fact, cut out the segues sometime and listen to JUST the songs. It's a great album. "The Exodus Has Begun" is refunkulous! There's an "early configuration" version of the whole album floating around out there too. It's worth the digging around.

Interesting.....I'd never thought about it until now.

It reminds me of the devil playing violin in "The Devil Went Down To Georgia".

You can also get it on the Get Wild Single. It has Get Wild, Beautiful Girl, and Hallucination Rain(5:52 not the 11:07 version).

I found out that Denis Boder died in the early 00's .
apparently his talent was overwhelming giving credit to what people had to say about him. listening to what he did on Hallucination rain is easy to believe it.
unfortunately there's so little to find out on the web...too too bad!
