"In A Large Room With No Light"

Haven't heard this one in a long time, so I put it on and it stopped me in my purple tracks!

If only it had been released on Parade or on any album following that one - I simply love the percussiveness of this track; the grand orchestration & arrangement.

Basically, this sounds like a BIG track, and would have been nice to hear in clear quality (un4tunately I have it as a, "shhh...a b-o-o-t-l-e-g!" ).

Was it supposed to be on Parade? It's a very interesting track. Does anybody else here dig it?

Sounds like it would have fit in perfectly with "Alexa de Paris" and others.

A penny for your thoughts?

Lalalalalalaa

Lotsa LA's in that song.

It was on Dream Factory at one point.

That is the best unreleased song ever!, and if it were released, it would be the best released song ever!. Love that ending.

"One that made her mother cry"?

This song is in "Roadhouse Garden" the unreleased album...Maybe Prince'll release this song in the npgmc 2003.

poeple think it says "dick in her hand" but I think it says "brick in her hand"

It's "..drink in her hand".

A dick? A brick?

Oh lawd, do I need to resurrect my "Show Ya Love" thread? (Don't think I won't!)

Peace, David

Hey Johnny! I've never even heard of this song, how do I get ahold of it?

Hey Loosekiss! I don't quite know where you can find this track - I myself stumbled upon it quite by accident when a friend had once given me a cd of tracks downloaded from the net.

One of the tracks had the title "Large Room With No Light", and no artists name.

Once I put the track on it hit me; though it did take a minute or two to confirm that indeed this was Prince and not someone who just SOUNDED like him.

It's not good quality at all so I really have no idea where you can listen to it. That's why I wish it was released officially with superior sound and all!

The real title of this track is : "Welcome 2 the rat race"

Old info, hun.

Uh... Sorry, but that's the title the bootleggers came up with. The real title is "In a Large Room With No Light"

It was Eric Leeds' favourite Revolution track, no less...

And it's easy to see why: sensory overload of the good kind.

A killer horn section, a Mardi Gras feel, spooky psychodelic lyrics which, combined with a strange sensuality (shouldn't work but it does!), contribute to the unusual, otherwordly carnival atmosphere of what ultimately is a very strange musical trip. Chaotic, but absolutely gorgeous.
