There are three new 94 soundboards that are about to come online VERY soon!

9 to 5 people is awesome, this a song I had never even heard of befre, it's not mentioned in The Vault.

Sounds great coming after Rebirth Of The Flesh.

Hopefully tomorrow will bring something else, fingers crossed for Cosmic Day.

I think the soundboards are out there now...

This is all great--and I mean that. But just as I was thinking that (and clicking to start some downloads), I suddenly felt kind of sick. Yeah, this is great. But also only happening because Prince is dead... and I could have waited a few more years for these to reach us.

So, while I'm enjoying these new leaks, it's bittersweet as can be.

N altogether now

Minimalist art is basic by it's very nature. The miscommunication seems to be that by me calling it basic what I mean is "bad".... but that's not what I mean. Punk, for example, is basic. Basic drums, basic chords.... but punk is some of the most powerful music ever created.

I feel like a lot of his seemingly minimalist work is actually deceptively simple. The Future doesn't sound like much, but I think if you try to re-create it you might have trouble making it sound the way Prince does. The way he punches in the bass and guitar fills, and the string swells. I remember an interview from the not too distant past, where he talks about the art of punching in various sounds and licks on a dime, and likened it to being able to play another instrument.

I watched a video the other day where some British guys recreated Sign of the Times with current software, and they said something very similar to what you just said about the song´s beat.

And that it may sound simple but it´s actually not, and that it still sounds fresh even today.

I don't know if you should necessarily feel bad about it from that perspective, I mean maybe you're right but plenty of soundboards and studio tracks were leaked when he was still alive so whether his dying was the impetus behind the leaking of this particular stuff is hard to say. For me I almost get the opposite reaction, while "new" music doesn't ease the sadness of his no longer being a presence on the earth it almost allows to to "live" again, at least for a while in my mind.

Edit: Found the live stuff, my god what an amazing past few days we've had in terms of leaks.

Some of the obvious (and quite rare) ones are likely coming from Jill. ('Come Elektra Tuesday', '4 Lust', 'Glamorous Life' demo, 'Mia Bocca' demo, etc)

.

The rest, which have been documented for some time, were some of the ones bubbling just beneath the surface among well-connected traders in the past 15+ years, ones that managed never to make it from the tape traders to the commercial b-leggers in the late 1980s/early 1990s (throughout much of the 90s, the widely circulating studio work was a sizeable, but very fixed set, and new releases mainly concerned quality upgrades than entirely new outtakes or versions), and were held back in the late 1990s 'Thunderball' era when a different on-line grapevine variety of trading emerged. These are songs like 'By Alien Means', '9-to-5 People', 'Velvet Kitty Kat', 'Traffic Jam', 'My Loves Belongs to You', The Flesh session material, etc. There was a thriving scene for these ~1996-2001 or so, trading on DAT, MiniDisc, or even VHS-audio. Some of the very high-sound quality leaks are likely from the Vault tape-baking to digital conversion in PP the occurred in the mid-2000s.

.

I'm speaking as to the full-length, or non-?estlove recorded leaks (his obvious sources are found in Susannah/Eric Leeds/St Paul, and by now, perhaps the estate itself). He also seems to have the stems (multitrack converted files) for some of these.

.

Virtually everything that is discussed as a unique outtake or performance on PrinceVault (which is non-exhaustive, despite any representations otherwise) is circulating somewhere in the hands of the common (but well-connected) people.

Yes, they're out. And I completely agree; as good as it to get all this new stuff it is very bittersweet. Feels wrong in a way

However, we were getting these recordinngs before he passed too. I think it's time that all of his greatness be released. Free the man's music and stop the vultures hovering around his estate from profiting off his work.

4 Lust--is this the same song that leaked awhile back with Prince duetting with Jill, only without Prince? Or is it a different song? I think it's the only thing from these recent leaks that I haven't found yet.

Maybe like a rockier People Without?

Yes, that's a good description!

....and a lot in common with F.U.N.K....too!

Sure from the start, most new leaks had Jill Jones input ...

Feline has a very similar sax part from Junk Music.

9 to 5 people is so hot & interesting.

There's a bass break with chorus effect in it which recalls directly Crystal Ball.

Very detailed and interesting observation, thanks. Posts like yours make the org a great place for those who are interested in the music and its details.

So you think the tape-baking at the Vault really happened?

I remember an interview with Hans Martin Buff from the 2000s and he said that the tapes were in dire need of baking and digitizing but nothing was happening at the time. Good to hear the opposite.

Exactly. All of the recent leaks have been in mono, at 128kbps. They've clearly come from the one source.

Also, there is far more interesting stuff in the vault that she could have leaked to get revenge/ notoriety.

YOU RUINED MY CHIPS!!

Kidding / you're right. It's just fun to pretend life is a soap opera, sometimes

I'd also add that I love Jill Jones, and everything she's ever done.
