Songs that fit and don't in 'Dream Factory?' So recently I listened to the Dream Factory with the songs from SOTT, and I try to listen to it as a whole without thinking 'oh that's from sign o the times'... like i think the dream factory goes well together without those songs, what do you guys think?  |

I'm a big fan of these sessions, I actually very rarely listen to SOTT, but I often play this, and Crystal Ball (not the released compilation).
It's a shame The Dream Facrory album was never released, and earlier configurations of the album had stuff like Sexual Suicide and of course Power Fantastic, which would have made it even better.

If you like The Dream Factory, you should track this down, the Pimpsandwich version. It's my favorite version. It is essential.

COMMENT
A fantastic release showcasing the unreleased 1986 'Crystal Ball' project. The tracklisting used here represents the 30th November 1986 configuration. It would have been impossible to compile this release without using both officially released tracks and/or widely circulating outtakes - as they are what make up the majority of 'Crystal Ball'. However the beauty of this release is not the choice of tracks, it's their running order. 'Rebirth Of The Flesh' segues into 'Play In The Sunshine' (alt version with gun intro), and from there on it's pretty much the 'Sign O' The Times' album. 'The Ball' flows flawlessly (and I mean FLAWLESS) into 'Joy In Repetition', etc, etc. It may be due to the being SO familiar with the 'Sign O' The Times' album, but the running order of 'Adore' followed by 'It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night' just doesn't seem correct.

COMMENT
An absolutely fantastic release. This configuration was sequenced sometime between June and July 1986 - although it is not the final configuration. I can only imagine what would have happened had this actually been released, as it is Prince and the Revolution at their most creative and at their imaginative peak. Firstly, you have to remember that Sign O' The Times (the album) hadn't been released or thought about yet, so the forget how the tracks sound on the Sign O' The Times album. Visions is a beautiful solo piano piece by Lisa, Nevaeh Ni Ecalp A (A Place In Heaven backwards) is simply an intro to Dream Factory. Train is an absolutely amazing song and it's a crime it hasn't been released. Interlude is Wendy's guitar solo piece. Strange Relationship is the 'Revolution' version. I Could Never Take The Place is slightly extended during the guitar portion of the song. A Place In Heaven is Lisa's vocal. And finally 'All My Dreams' - surely if there's one song that sums up Prince, Wendy & Lisa's work together at it's most inspirational, imaginative and most clever - it's that. The material was obviously too good to shelve after the Revolution disbanded, so it's understandable he chose to use some tracks on S.O.T.T. An absolute must have album for any Prince fan. The packaging for this disc is brilliant. The booklet includes a nice 'story of the Dream Factory', taken from The Vault. Sheer class.
