. The simplicity displayed here is too overwhelming. Read my sig. . Did you receive your Cinematic Mix yet? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

I love parts of this and dislike parts of this. | |

I received my CD copy of Originals with the bonus track Cinematic Mix...!!!! (from Japan...) . This will sound even better than the mp3. Did you hear any differences? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

Take with a grain of salt but there's a rumor that I heard from some collectors that this version is a edit that Prince considered for the Girl 6 movie. |

bought it @ amazon.de Japanese import.
all it took was a Google search (yes Bart..) , iDeal and 7 days waiting. And yet, I can't seem to get myself to unwrap the damn thing and play it .. like I'm some sort of idiotic collector..
hell, all my Prince vinyl LP's, Bootlegs and (maxi) singles are played to shredds, as well as all the cd's and tapes. ít's a complete retarded phase I must be going through I guess.
but the cinematic mix is pretty hard to find online, exept for LQ snippets ... (sorry Bart, but like I said.. retarded phase of some sort)
so.. facing huge dillema's | |

Here is the story told by Susannah way back in 2013 (from the Beautiful Nights blog): *
Clare Fisher: "talk about a muse. He was my inspiration for getting the strings on the (first) record. Clare had done work with my father —my father being the arranger and Clare being the string arranger. So, I had that “in,” although, that was not how I was thinking about it at the time.
Prince and I were listening to a bunch of Rufus records back in the day-- and this was before we thought about doing strings on the first record. We were talking about how brilliant the strings were on those albums. I had also been listening to a lot of Claus Ogerman and Bill Evans. There's one record they did called Symbiosis and it's just one of the most beautifully arranged records. Ogerman's string arrangement, and Evans playing the piano over it, is some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard.
The only thing that's ever came close to feeling as perfectly arranged in terms of the strings was on the Ruficized record. I just said, “Prince, why don't we get Clare to do the strings on our record?” He said, “Yeah.” I said, “My dad knows him.” I called my dad and said “Pop, you gotta call Clare and see if he's up for it.” He was.
We sent him the 24 track. He got back to us right away and said “Absolutely.” Within a month we had all the lead sheets and we had the entire score for the record. We went in and cut it and I couldn't have been happier."
* So, if you go by Susannah's recollection, no strings were added until after the full record was complete. I think, as far as checking with Engineers, David Z would be the right person to ask since he was the one flying tapes back and forth from MN to LA for Paul and Susannah's vocals. | |

Thank you for sharing these details about the inspiration behind working with Clare. I’ve found Bill Evans’ “Symbiosis” on Apple Music and I can hear a lot of what I love about tracks from the Parade / Dream Factory / Crystal Ball period. Funny thing — not calling to mind the Family album. Compositions at times seem too epic and complex for the Family’s blend of new wave + old Hollywood drama. But spot on for the song Crystal Ball. Thanks again. Edit: Dug deeper into the Evans / Ogerman albums and “Symbiosis” is by far the superior of the three. The other two are a little too close to “Jackie Gleason Orchestra” mid-century midwest dinner party for my tastes. But grab a copy of Symbiosis if you want to hear a good album that reportedly inspired working with Clare. I can hear the inspiration behind SOTT (movie) segues in Symbiosis. Good stuff!

[Edited 7/28/19 5:18am] You are welcome!! Thank you for the nice response. Great to share in a positive and respectful dialogue  * Yes, Symbiosis is beautiful, and I love its connection with Prince’s music and his collaborative start with Clare Fischer. It was an ongoing relationship that always added depth to Prince’s music. | |
