On which records did Prince use analog synths after 1985? i know he stop using his Oberheim after Purple Rain and his main synth axxe was that ugly Roland D50. Analog synths vanished from his music never to return with the few exceptions.So on which songs do you think Prince used analog synths again? A former employe told me that Prince used Oberheim synth on New Power Soul and Emancipation,but i don't know which songs.

* Euphoria Highway - A (mostly instrumented) outtake slated for Jill Jones, recorded early 1986 (although to my ears may date earlier)

* Boy's Club - Recorded early-to-mid 1986, for Sheila E's eponymous third album

* Make Your Mama Happy

* Crystal Ball - ("Purple Underground" portion of extended length version, perhaps elsewhere)

* One Day (I'm Gonna Make You Mine) - Most Likely a Camille sessions or at least 'era' track (accordingly, recorded Late Summer or Fall 1986), given to Sheila E for her eponymous third album.

* U Got the Look - (Particularly as occurred in the "Long Look" version, likely analog stacked deep in the mix, but mostly Fairlight, DX7, and effects)

* 4 Lust - Unreleased ~1986/1987 P outtake, turned into a pseudo-duet but unused for Jill Jones' first (and aborted) second album

* So Strong - Dale, Riot in English (1988) - Recorded, allegedly during the first several months of 1987, but I speculate it may be built from much earlier material.

* Glam Slam (Extended Version)

* Corporate World
