Xenophobia didn't make the list? I know he talks a little during it, but should still be considered an instrumental. It's my favorite because i got to go on stage in Cleveland for the last part.

Thanks Latin! Arboretum,West and 77 Beverly Park are my favorites from the list.

They've got the cover for One Nite Alone Live instead of the piano and voice album. Am I a bad fan because I can't immediately bring to mind the Xpectation tracks... I think I have the right one in my head for Xpand, but I don't have a clue what the other two are. And I've listened to the album quite a bit, just never attached titles to the sounds.

I honestly don't know most of the Madhouse tracks by title either... Eight and Four I know by title (Four because he did it with Dorothy Parker so often). I can get to Thirteen by chanting the "Madhouse 13 rock this mother" bit from the 12''. And I listened to those like crazy... I have tracks and titles more together from Kamasutra, somehow.

Today, The Current published the following article entitled "Prince's Essential Instrumentals (1995-2010)": https://www.thecurrent.or...-1995-2010

Thanks, Latin. Curious that the article doesn't expand to explain what the writer liked about the chosen selection of music.

where are the two instrumentals from the Parade-era??

Well, Alexa de Paris is stuck on two single releases that probably aren't streaming anywhere--and so, not very accessible to listeners. So there isn't much point in talking about it in the article even if the writer liked it (I certainly do). Venus de Milo isn't that remarkable, in my opinion.

Also, they are not "(1995 - 2010)".

I really love Venus De Milo. It's beautiful.

no '2 Nigs United 4 West Compton'?

no 'North'?

no 'Kamasutra'?

the writer of that article needs to dig deeper in the crates

Indeed--that too (or rather, just that). What I said was kind of pointless, really.
