Any love for this song? I've always gone back to this one. I like the stylings of the beginning and the lazy sort of rap Prince starts off with and absolutley love the drum focused beat. then it goes into guitar sort of hendrix santana mix for a sort of chorus( could be wrong) but i think it totally works out to be a solid tune. Is this a favorite 2 anyone else?

I like the way it starts, but I lose interest when it turns into a rock jam. I'll give it another listen...

Love the Lotus Flow3r album as a whole. Prince did some great production work there. Such an underrated album.

I've never listedn to the third disc, Bria Valentina's Elixer.

This song is easily in my Top 10 fave Prince tracks of all time. It's a clever metaphor and that guitar solo is WILD. In fact, I think he's got one other guitar under there too. I listen to it in the car all the time. Love it.

Yes he did. If he wasn't, he should have been nominated for the production on that.

Great tune!! Its a wild ride.

Love this Funk/Rock Gem...in my Prince Top 30.

It has some moments, specially when Prince tries to bring that Sade vibe

I only dislike those uptempo tracks trying to be hip.

Anyway, too bad that such a special psychedelic album was buried with MPLSound and Bria.

When PRINCE sang Elixir live it was a knee-weakening experience!

ooh I love this one so much! it's a highlight on an album full of great songs.

love the whole Lotusflower album, it's probably his best 'late period' album
for me.

wall of berlin

Lotusflow3r is a great album, I love it.

Love the song, but hate the lead in on the album. That classy restaurant music, 77 Beverly Park, just throws a wrench into the mix and destroys Lotusflower for me. Luckily I know that when I hit the 'next' button, "Wall of Berlin" is there for me.

Did he record Wall of Berlin the same day in 2004 as 10 or 11 other songs? which included Back 2 The Lotus, Colonized Mind, Love Like Jazz, Planet Earth, Guitar . See https://www.princevault.c..._Of_Berlin

the title track should have been on a Prince album. It's better than some tracks he did put on his own albums at the time.

I’ve said it here before but this would of been a great live track, he could of fleshed this out to be an unbelievable jam piece in a live setting .

Very True. In the vein of "Whats My Name"

Check out "Immersion" a very cool New Agey track.

I did. Once.

I dig its playfullness and the organic, striped down production.

I will be weighing in with my opinion on this track later tonight. Be on the lookout.
