I've always been a fan of INXS's music and after watching the "Never Tear Us Apart" TV series over the past 2 Sunday nights here in Australia, I have begun listening to some of old favourites from INXS. I also got to pondering how potentially brilliant it could have been to see a Prince INXS collaboration. I guess timewise this would have been well timed for around 1993-4? Prince was clearly looking for something different around then and INXS were at the point where they were trying to battle off the influence of the emerging grunge scene. Putting aside the record company logistics of such an idea...I think between Prince, Andrew Farris and Michael Hutchence the world could have heard some incredible music. Does anyone know if Prince and Michael Hutchence ever met? Heres a thought...Prince as front man for INXS!?!? Hey...they gave Terence Trent D'arby a crack at it...who knows, Prince & The Revolution, Prince & the NPG, Prince & 3rd Eye Girl....Prince & INXS??? heh heh...just a thought.

kick was recorded at paisley and prince covered them at the o2 aftershows so he's clearly aware of them. dunno if they met but as inxs recorded at paisley there is a good chance. kick has a similar production sound to a lot of prince stuff from that time, such as kiss

What song did he cover, Unique?

what you need - its on the hits, its a pre kick track

Prince played the INXS song New Sensation as a DJ on the New Power Radio show. Minneapolis radio KMOJ, in december 1989. (I own a 3LP vinyls bootleg with this recording).

INXS,

Kate Bush,
James Brown,
Tracy Chapman,
Joni Mitchell,
Janet Jackson,
Grace Jones,
Some Prince related artists too, TC Ellis, Ingrid Chavez,

^ these were played and more,

also the Scandalous Sex Suite was played iirc. And some tracks from the Black Album.. Cindy C iirc..

I bet they met backstage at some show. Prince was a fan!

Ha! I Remember doing a double take of the HOT THING single... it said "engineered by Michael Hutchinson" I was all but you know totally diffrent person.

I might be wrong but i think Michael Hutchence was in the audience of the aftershow after the European Music Awards in Berlin 1994
