Great album.

The Montreaux shows accompanying this were absolutely brilliant and his best there thus far, imo.

July 18. 2009
Stravinski Auditorium Montreux
Montreux Jazz Festival
1st Show
1.When I Lay My Hands On U
2.Little Red Corvette
3.Somewhere Here On Earth
4.When The Lights Go Down
5.Willing & Able
6.I Love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore
7.She Spoke 2 Me
8.Love Like Jazz
9.All This Love
10.Empty Room
11.Elixer
12.In A Large Room With No Light
13.Insatiable
14.Scandalous
15.The Beatiful Ones
16.Nothing Compares 2 U

Prince singing "Elixir" on the 1st Show puts many a singer to shame. It was perfection. That whole show was just incredible. Everyone should have gotten a chance to see this. Just when I thought he could not blow me anymore than he had over the years he rocks my world again with this Montreux show !!

The Montreux shows are fantastic and probably my favorite live shows, start to finish. If you ever need something to show a non-fan an example of Prince at the height of his powers, these are a must. A shame they didn't get a proper release but that's the way he operates; leave the best stuff on the cutting room floor.

PEOPLE MAGAZINE

Prince
3121
(Universal)
3 1/2 stars (out of 4)

"I'm hot and I don't care who knows it/ I got a job 2 do." So declares Prince, working himself into a funky lather on "Black Sweat," the hip-gyrating highlight of his new CD. Recapturing his old "Kiss" -style swagger and irreverence ("You'll be screamin' like a white lady when I count 2 3: 1-2-3") over a ferocious groove, it's quite simply the baddest thing he's done in years.

Of course, it's not totally unexpected. You could feel this coming after Prince's 2004 comeback album Musicology and hits heavy tour of the same name, restored him to his rightful throne. And 3121 shows that His Purple Highness has no intention of stepping down anytime soon. Even better than its double-platinum predecessor, it boasts higher highs: "Lolita," along with "Black Sweat," gives this disc the best one-two punch he's had since "Gett Off and "Cream."

With its bright synth lines and tight rhythm guitar, "Lolita" is classic 80's Prince, though now that he is a Jehovah's Witness, he won't surrender to the nubile temptress who's "fine from head 2 pumps." Elsewhere, the scorching, electric guitar charged "Fury" takes him back to the funk-rock glory of the Revolution era, while the spiritually glowing "Beautiful, Loved & Blessed" pairs Prince with new protogee Tamar, a much better duet partner than Apollonia ever made. A couple of lesser slow jams, including the Latin-flavored "Te Amo Corazon," make 3121 fall short of the slam dunk it could have been. Still, there's plenty here to make you go crazy all over again.

Come on
I don't hardly know her
But I think I could love her
I hope she walks over
Cuz I've been waiting to show her
Crimson and Clover
Over and over
Baby, I think I love you
I want to know for sure
Come here and stick it to me one time
You move me
Such a sweet thing
Makes me want to sing
What a beautiful feeling
Crimson and clover
Over and over
Uh
Baby I, I think I love you
But I want to know for sure
O come here, stick it to me one time
Ah .. you don't move me (?)
Look up!

ELIXR

I can see your face every time
Anywhere, any place in my mind
If my guard is ever low
There's a place that I can go

Elixer, elixer, elixer

You can fight in vain
I'm gonna have my way all night and all day
Seven tears fall like rain in between the joy and pain
Oowie, baby

Elixer, elixer, elixer
Elixer, elixer, elixer

Hand in hand woman and man
Through the tallest doors, up the stairs
Two animals spawning in a river
They go there, oowie, baby

Oh elixer, up and down
Elixer round and round
Elixer, don't stop baby

Elixer, elixer, elixer

With his pen, ink and tongue
Is this real or all in fun
He writes it there

Naked girl, naked boy they lay exposed
Can you hear it? Can you hear it?
Fully clothed

Elixer, elixer, elixer
Elixer, elixer, elixer

Lotusflow3r had three truly great tracks with the best production values in a Prince album in a long long time.


Meanwhile everything about MplSound is absolutely repugnant. Has to be one of the worst records in the history of music.

Absolutely! On both counts!

Lotusflower is superior to AOA.

Mplsound is the worst CD I have ever heard.
