New topic PrintableAt leasr, I'm very interested in what the german Rolling Stone consument thinks about The record....though they are more music interested than the usual people I beg there are very much people who think, 'most beautiful girl in the world' was his last recorded record (or 'cream').
How much people think Prince has'nt done anything since 1992 or so.
kinda Peter Gabriel, MJ or Kate Bush years between the releases.. | |

I'm wondering why every1 is talking about a new album. 'There is nothing said in that german article about an album. It just said "Prince bonus". Might be a poster, a feature, interview, t-shirt or a key chain. Where do you get your information it's an album for free? Did I miss anything? | |

Prince: Was erwartet uns auf "20Ten"? Mit Analog-Synthesizern, drahtigen Gitarren-Licks und den Sounds des guten alten LinnDrum-Schlagzeugcomputers kehrt Prince auf "20TEN" endgültig zum tighten Elektrofunk-Spirit der frühen Jahre zurück. Weltexklusiv: Die Vorab-Review der neuen Prince. Das neue Album ist ein Grund zur Freude für alle, die das eher minimalistische "MPLSound"-Kapitel auf der 3-CD-Box "LotusFlow3r" vom letzten Jahr liebten: Mit Analog-Synthesizern, drahtigen Gitarren-Licks und den Sounds des guten alten LinnDrum-Schlagzeugcomputers kehrt Prince auf "20TEN" endgültig zum tighten Elektrofunk-Spirit der frühen Jahre zurück, bringt trocken groovende Party- und Kopfnickersongs, lippenleckende Soulballaden, ohne sich dabei selbst zu kopieren oder anzubiedern. Entsprechend geht es in den Songs nicht nur um Heilslehre und Weltrettung, sondern auch wieder um die fleischlichen Aspekte der Liebe. Sein bestes, konsequentestes Album seit der "Love Symbol"-Platte von 1992? Aber sicher. Die zehn Songs im Kurzüberblick: "Compassion" Ein straighter Beat, ein Keyboard-Stakkato, ein durch die Stereokanäle wanderndes Gitarrenfauchen – von der ersten Sekunde an leuchten die lila Scheinwerfer, stehen wir mitten auf der Tanzfläche im Prince-Hauptquartier. Mit der Gospel-Pop-Party-Ode ans menschliche Mitgefühl stellt der Meister uns auch den dreiköpfigen Damenchor vor, der mit ihm durch die Platte führt: Shelby J, Liv Warfield und Elisa Fiorillo. "Beginning Endlessly" Dieses eingängige, resolute Synth-Riff riecht nach frischem Haarspray und Lederhandschuhen. Prince leckt dem Hörer förmlich das Ohr, diesmal im Duett mit sich selbst, in einem sleazy Sprechgesang: "Come on, darling, let’s get down to the beginning endlessly!" Was für eine Art von universeller Erleuchtung er hier predigt, merkt man schnell. "Future Soul Song" Ein enger Verwandter des klassischen "The Beautiful Ones": In diesem Schaumbad-Soul zeigt sich Prince erst als echter Crooner, jubelt entrückt "Sha-la-la" im Refrain, bis er am Ende doch noch richtig aus der Haut fährt, maunzt und kreischt, während Gitarre und Engelschor himmelwärts streben. "Sticky Like Glue" Ein schwer anzüglicher Fünf-Minuten-Hüftschwung, mit wenig mehr am Leib als einem klaren Beat, ein paar schmatzenden Basslinien, einer funky Gitarre. Prince zieht alle Register, balzt in jeder denkbaren Tonlage und im Wechselgesang mit sich selbst, wirft sogar einen Rap ein, in dem er von einem sehr speziellen Kinobesuch erzählt. "Lavaux" Da freut sich die Tourismusbranche: Prince versprüht Fernweh, preist zum jubelnden "1999"-Keyboard die Schönheit der Weinberge im Schweizer Lavaux und der Straßen Portugals. Klingt albern, ist aber ein Song über Visionen und Freiheitsdrang: "Life back home depresses me/ Just another form of slavery." Die Handclaps klatschen wie Ohrfeigen. "Act Of God" Das geht los wie ein Stromschlag, tritt zu wie ein samtverkleideter Stiefel: Prince verliert keine Sekunde, erklärt in drei Minuten Wirtschaftskrise und Irakkrieg, lässt sich von seinen drei Musen die Stichwörter zuwerfen, während der Groove tiefrote Funken aus dem Boden haut. Hoch elektrisch und rough, auch noch mit gereckter Freiheitsfaust: "The ones who say No make history!" Absolutes Hammerstück, Höhepunkt des Albums. "Walk In Sand" Jetzt wird das Sternenlicht angeknipst: ein schmeichelnder Showstopper, Prince als Samtpfötchen mit Falsett am Klavier, ausnahmsweise sogar echte Drums und Live-Band-Feel. Botschaft und Melodie sind simpel und schön: "Nothing’s better than to walk in sand hand in hand with you." So wundervoll kann Kitsch sein. "Sea Of Everything" Ohne Pause geht's weiter, nebenan im Separee: In dieser coolen Schlafzimmerballade geht Prince in den Nahkampf, als ob er nur mit seiner Stimme jede einzelne Körperregion der besagten Dame erreichen wolle. "Will you still feel the same when the spotlight fades?" sinniert er - ganz ohne ein wenig lebensweise Reflexion will er heute keinen Sex mehr. "Everybody Loves Me" Zum Ende noch der Mitsing-Rock'n'Roll-Stomp mit Boogie-Woogie-Piano-Breaks und mindestens zwei Jahre Feelgood-Garantie: "Tonight I love everybody, everybody loves me". Womit Prince natürlich nicht sich selbst meint - eher den selbstbewussten Geist, der auf dem Dancefloor jeden zum Star macht. Kann man schon nach den ersten 30 Sekunden mitsingen. Der unbetitelte Bonus-Track In einem früheren Entwurf des Tracklistings war das der Eröffnungssong von "20TEN" - nun hängt er anonym am Ende, obwohl Prince sich und seine Heimatstadt Minneapolis hier im Hip-Hop-Style und mit erfreulich klaren Worten vorstellt: "From the heart of Minnesota, here come the purple Yoda!" Ein harter Track, die Prince-Version von modernem R&B. Und vielleicht ein kleiner Hinweis darauf, was uns demnächst auf der Nachfolge-Platte erwarten wird... Bounce party y'all

That review above is VERY positive and call this Prince´s best album since at least 1992´s album. One of the strongest songs, according to that journalist, is Act of God, a short piece that covers a lot of topics, including religion, the Iraq War, etc. I´m about to go out in a few minutes but I will probably give you a proper translation when I´m back, unless someone else decides to translate the review. Both journalists, the German one and the Belgian guy, seem to like this album and both call it a departure from the mediocre albums of the past couple of years. I know they always say that so that´s why I´m still a bit skeptical but this German review definitely got me curious now. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

inside the is ten which looks like a Yin- Yang smybol | |

and i found this when looking up yin-yang
The phrase “the ten-thousand things” is Taoism’s way of saying “everything that exists.” The ten thousand things are expressions of the various ways that the five elements can combine to produce humans and beetles and mountains and super-novas and dolphins and orchids and oak trees and hummingbirds and lichen and hot-springs and crystals and … you get the idea!
wow is this the theme? that would explain the cool art work | |

was he wearing this image on his shirt at the BET awards? | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
The criticism of Prince wearing his image on his shirt was totally missed by everybody that saw it, that wasn't a die hard fan of Prince. It was a total self promotion of his new project. Maybe he should have mentioned that when he accepted his long deserved award. But that is Prince 4 u always having hidden images & messages without ever explaining it. I love him 4 that. 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 didn't like it, what can I say? I do think giving away free cd's with a newspaper in a place where you'll soon be playing a live show is smart, though. i don't knock Prince for being innovative and finding myriad ways to release his music (in an age where the sale of hardcopy music is all but dead). I just happen to think the stuff he's been releasing lately is not that good and, coincidentally, the last time he used a newspaper to release a cd I didn't like any of the music. i'm not telling anyone else what to think of it, I'm just saying i don't think Planet Earth was worth the cost of the paper. You don't have to agree, it's perfectly alright. | |

Your loss, not mine. You should bring your new "coasters" to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, they can put the sales revenue to very good use for people who need help. But I'm guessing you'll want to hold on to them so you can bitch and moan about the cd instead-- there's a million whiners on this site, why should you be any different. Hope you hate the next cd so I can hear you whine about that too.
