the Dream Factory/Camille music era 1986 This is more of fan fantasy/reality thread
Dream Factory is so meshed in the Parade + Sign o the Time album/era/bands etc that I can't help but wonder.
What pics from those eras do you think the DF period would represent. Or any other eras, since he does borrow from his different looks. What songs would be singles, bsides. Would Prince get St Paul and put the Family back 2gether, would Mazarati take it to another level? Would Cat still have been brought into the band?
I've always thought this picture feels like the Dream Factory music

{"A Place In Heaven" plays backwards in background} Hi, can I see your ID? This is what it's like in the Dream Factory, oh! Hollyrock ain't all it seems (Lordy)

Awesome stuff laid down during this era! I have the boot...dated as July 86 and a little different than the June version written out by Susan Rogers.
I remember reading a track listing showing an instrumental track called "And That Says What?" I have never seen that track listed anywhere else, havent heard it either.
Anyone know the story of this one? Intriguing as Christopher uses the line "And that says what?" a few times in Under the Cherry Moon.   She has robes and she has monkeys, lazy diamond studded flunkies.... | |

It's A Wonderful Day Intended for Dream Factory, "It's A Wonderful Day" is a fairly nondescript uptempo number, and may have been intended to be replaced at a later time, according to Susan Rogers. Recorded in January, 1986, the song is a positive and upbeat number and features prominent vocals from Lisa and Wendy. Although discarded, some of the song may have been inspiration for Camille track, "Good Love".
Instrumental snippet is played in Under the Cherry Moon film, during "butterscotch chocolate" scene. She has robes and she has monkeys, lazy diamond studded flunkies.... | |

I'm so glad this record never came out.
Seriously, it's the LotusFlower of the 80s. Shit's just everywhere and inconsistent and dumb.
SOTT is perfect as it is (even though I love the Crystal Ball tracklist). | |

i don't think so, If I go by Susan Rogers track list that is a pretty good set.
Probably even more than Purple Rain this period which is sorta / Parade / Flesh Sessions / Camille project is his largest and extensive output of music

Prince "Dream Factory" 1986
Dream Factory began life in late 1985 after the Parade album was completed. Much like preceding albums Around the World in a Day and Parade, Dream Factory was written by Prince in collaboration with Wendy and Lisa but to an even greater degree. The album started as a single set of nine songs, but evolved quickly to a double album with a large body of tracks being considered or rejected. A final configuration of the album was finished and mastered, but just before the album was to be released The Revolution dissolved amidst personal and professional tensions; Prince then shelved the highly-collaborative album in his infamous "vault" in a desire to return to his "one-man-band" ways of recording." | |

Is there any other photo out there of Susannah and Prince together? I swear this is the only one I've ever seen.
And when was this taken? Prince's hair, the cane...they dont fit the era. No biggie...I just always assumed this was 86/87 and wonder if it was later? She has robes and she has monkeys, lazy diamond studded flunkies.... | |

I could have been 86 because his hair near the end of the Parade tour was grown out
It also has that straight affect like the RaspberryBeret video so it could have been early 85 | |

My FAVORITE next 2 POWER FANTASTIC
the layers and depths and you feel the band connections
"a dense & busy jazz fusion piece, featured live playing by most of the Revolution & drumming by Sheila E." - Susan Rogers In A Large Room With No Light Eric Leeds' sax starts off this busy, animated rock number with jazz overtones. The song has a lively spontaneous feel, recorded with the expanded Revolution. The music contradicts the serious lyrics, which concern the harshness of life and feelings of being lost. Prince compares life to "looking for a penny in a large room with no light". Originally considered for the 19 track, 2-LP Dream Factory, the song was later dropped.
Lana drew a picture in school 2day
One that made her mother cry
A picture of a woman with a drink in her hand
Standing by a child with no eyes
Washington reaction based upon revenge
Babies blown 2 kingdom come
Damn the logic
Cartoon characters look better when they're on the run
Danny dropped the dime on his girlfriend
He said he didn't wanna go 2 jail alone
The seed lives in the same mind
With the thought that says we all should be stoned
And people lookin' 4 angels in the sky
Whenever they're broken-hearted
Love is grown, seeds are sown
A fire don't burn unless it's started
Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light?
A sophisticated man reduced 2 company in no-win situations
That aren't right
Every time U wake up there's a little motherfucker
Talkin' big stuff in your face (Are U happy?)
U only get the kind of people that open their mouth just 2 swap feet
Welcome 2 the rat race
Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light?
A sophisticated man reduced 2 company in no-win situations
That aren't right
Oh, if U could just pass your history class
Maybe life would be alright
Until then U'll be lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light
Yeah!
Life {repeat 2 fade}
