how many more hours from now until stuff usually pops up in the 'new releases' section?

We often get things at midnight, which is a little over two hours from now. But occasionally there is a delay.

cool, so let's say in about 3-4 hours we should know for sure if we get Cosmic Day or not today

i can't believe we might be about to hear all 5+ minutes of this song, finally

Thank you for this
I was wondering about the meaning of my totally meaningless life and, there, you said it.
I'm not making fun of you, I suffer from depression and sometimes little things like that make me feel better

Where

I'm listening RIGHT NOW on TIDAL...

I love how he switched up the vibe at the very end, a la the extended versions of "Raspberry Beret" or "Little Red Corvette". I don't have much to say other than that. The song feels unfinished and the guitar is buried in the mix, I can see why he left this in the vault.

...and it's FUCKING MAGICAL!!!

TBH I always hated this track and I still think it's awful. It's also really badly recorded and mixed – and totally distorted. I just hope this is not an indication of how most vault tracks on SOTT.SDE will sound.

.

Witness sounds great though, so fingers crossed.

Did this evolve into "I Wish U Heaven"?

Is this from a cassette or an actual 2 inch master? It sound much less 'crisp' than Witness or ICNTTPOYM. Is anything known?

"no..words. should...have.....sent a poet"

Just listened again. Have no words. At this point, slander won't be tolerated with me. It's everything I thought it would be, and that's just the first few minutes. My goodness. This man was an absolute FUCKING GENUIS!! Hurts all over again thinking about him being gone...

I can't listen right now. Does this version contain Clare Clare Fischer's strings?

It does not

Love it! So much better as a full song rather than just the snippet we've had for a few years.

Wholeheartedly agreed! It's ethereally beautiful and unique.

And there are no issues with the sound, mixing or production for me either. Neither does this sound 'unfinished' - that comment could be applied to over half the original 'Sign 'O' Times' album anyway.

I just had to listen. It really lived up to my expectations. I loved it. It was just so great when it didn't fade and then the second part was the best part. I feel this would make a great partner to Adonis and Bathsheba. Probably one of the best tracks ever to come out of the Vault. I love it.

Absolutely! It more than lived up to my very high expectations also.

I've never been a fan of the hyper-speed Camille voice going on here...but a minor complaint as it fits the vibe of the song. Its cool to hear the whole song finally.

Time for PV to update their page: http://www.princevault.co...Cosmic_Day

Great minds think alike as they say. Seriously though, someone said a few posts ago how well it plays with "Adonis". And it really does. I think both contain some of the best "sounds" I've ever heard come from him, and that's saying a lot. He was truly on a roll during this period, and it shows when you process both tracks together. Back to the this song though. It makes you feel a certain way listening to it. I have to admit, I was a tad bit concerned about the buildup vs. reality. And I'm saying it now...reality WINS!! Brilliant...

Why do I feel like after listening to this song, this could've been a whole new album look concept and sound for Prince if he chose to continue to go down this route with the song and apply it to other projects...
