This is the funkiest jam that Prince did in the 90s,imo.Such a shame that it didn't appear on a proper album.This should have been the opening track on TGE!!

Crystal Ball (by far) for me. I think it's an extremely well structured, cleverly composed, experimental piece with deep roots in the Parade sound. I love everything from that starting beat, the fabulous orchestral arrangements, Prince's "Girls & Boys"/Camille voice, the synth line, the subtle music reference to "The Future", Susannah's backing vocals, the hypnotic singing tone (similar to "I wonder U"), and the funky guitar and Prince's voice build-up, the screams, a guitar solo as well as a drum solo (I'm guessing Sheila E). A clever amalgam of great Princeley Park sounds and much more. Just pure genius.

Only one song is impossible . So I decided to pick my favorite of each:

From CB I _ Crystal ball

From CB II - Da Bang (masterpiece I´m obsessed with this song)

From CB III - Poompoom

From the Truth - Don´t play me

From kamasutra - The ever changing light

Crystal Ball

Dream Factory

Calhoun Square

Sexual Suicide

Days of the Wild
