I'd go with Rebirth of The Flesh as the final track.

The hidden track should be "Come On (Camille's last stroke)."

but I'm not going crazy right? There are (at least) two versions, one with sped up voice and one without?

If I remember rightly they are different in many ways other than the voice.

This progression works the best so far, I think. You did it once again, Anji! (If I ever become a rock star, remind me to look you up.) But I'd add my two cents...

First, while "Crystal Ball" is probably one of my all-time Prince favorites, there's not much besides the altered voice that makes it "Camillesque." It's an amazing song and a kick-ass intro, but the string-laden orchestration doesn't fit, and the sophisticated, wordly message of the song, albeit desolate, isn't decadent. I'd leave it off (don't hate me) and replace it with something narrative, amazingly arrogant and just plain silly, like "Movie Star." I think that's a better introduction to who Camille is.

Also, while "Witness for the Prosecution" could be a decent close, I actually love Camille's self-effacing ending to "Rock Hard in a Funky Place" It sorta says that Camille is SO cynical and destructive about everything, even him/her/itself, that despite this really cool album, he totally trashes it all at the end. So here's my listing...

01 Movie Star
02 Rebirth Of The Flesh
03 Housequake
04 If I Was Your Girlfriend
05 Bob George
06 Scarlet Pussy
07 Good Love (It's almost a bit too positive to be included, and I debate whether it really works next to the totally contradictory "Feel U Up." But, as Anji said, it's a GREAT intro to side 2. I also think it carries the best potential for a single, and the contradiction would give people something to argue about. Besides, without something slightly more positive, this album begins to feel as dark as the Black Album)
08 Feel U Up
09 Shockadelica
10 Strange Relationship
11 Rockhard In A Funky Place

Eleven tracks is long enough. I HATE CDs that just go on-and-on. Shorter leaves 'em wanting more. Furthermore, we've got to save some stuff for B-sides!

Oh... maybe I got carried away with the B-sides and all. I wasn't sure whether this is just a compilation Aaron is throwing together or a fantasy rewriting of history.

I had never considered Movie Star in the Camille range, mainly because it lacks that voice 'tweak' and the beat is too 'heavy,' if that makes sense. Yes, Strange Relationship has that 'heavy' beat too but then again, I've always thought it also stands out as somewhat different to the other Camille tracks. Similarly, U Got The Look appears too rock to be Camille. Damn, is there actually a definitive Camille sound, besides the voice? I've always associated HIM with funk. Perhaps, that's where I'm misleading myself. Regardless, I can see your point about not including Crystal Ball on a Camille disc but I guess it's considered too good to drop. As always, this is all up for interpretation. I was just working from Aaron's wish list. Thanks for the compliment, Lammastide!

but what about Love or $???

paisleypark4 said:

i thought about it. but, it seems way too Revolution-y. i'd actually include Erotic City before Love Or Money, because it has a more similar vibe to the Camille stuff.

I am SO stealing this track list
