Letter 4 Miles...embaressed to say, never listened to this one. It's great....wow. It fits that sound I have loved of Prince's ....sort of 70s jazz/funk....
I can't believe I'd missed this one. | |

Have you ever listened to The Mountains and the Sea podcast? A husband wife duo that has done a really great job...I loved those P&B guys but, Josh and Christy have done a very good job picking up.
JOsh, like Player (or maybe it was Rob Esse) has an uncanny ability to draw some excellent observations...similarities in songs, or other subtle things. | |

I've never been asked to do a podcast. The groups who do them seem very insular, however. Maybe I should start my own. | |

I LOVE Work That Fat. It's hilarious and it's great to hear him have a good time and just enjoy his talent. | |

Actually, when I first heard of this SDE..i wondered if Work That Fat was going to be on b/c of the subject matter and today's sensitivities. Then I went back to listen. It is indeed a funny song...he always was clever and had such a great sense of humour. | |

Considering the mediocre quality of "Schoolyard", him not releasing it is understandable. Givin' up food for funk. | |

Encouraged by the mention of Purple Music, When The Dawn Of The Morning Comes and Trust.
3 great tracks. When The Dawn Of The Morning Comes was a highlight of the Sign Super Deluxe for me. Looking forward to Lauriann. [Edited 9/21/23 22:55pm] [Edited 9/22/23 1:02am] Something BIG Is Coming. | |

TheNumber23 said: Me either tbh. But it is Prince's origin story so thought it was a worthwhile exercise to actually try and figure out what he wa trying to convey musically. It's a fail though, mainly because I wrote it on my phone and the spellchecker has fucked up so much of it. Needs a good sub, undoubtedly. My Tender Heart next, strap yourself in ... Just curious, but is there a particular reason or quote that makes you think this as opposed to Raspberry Beret is his origin story? | |

I feel, we will get something today from Number23 | |

Number23..where are you my man/woman. It's been 5 days since Streetwalker....
My Tender Heart came out 4 days after Schoolyard.
Pain came out 2 days after My Tender Heart.
Streetwalker came out 2 days after Pain.
Now, 4 days and counting!!

A friend of mine, a music critic, listened all the vault tracks (except the live disk) and was generally not impressed from the tracks. As we know it is far less interesting and esperimental era than Sign O The Times, for example. Anyway, he described Pledge Allegiance To Your Love as an elegant blues, one of the best tracks on the Vault cds. | |

The music critic....can...kiss my ass. Haha. We already know there are gems on the set...
If someone is not impressed with Open Book, I have to question their appreciation for music. We know of Get Blue, Standing at the Alter, Pain and My Tender Heart. We just heard via the leaks, some more awesome stuff...Blood on the Sheets, a killer and aforementioned My Tender Heart, Something FUnky THis House Comes... the critic mentions how good Pledge Allegience is.
It's Prince...he was a music adventurer and so, you're not going to love every place he visited. If you love music, sometimes getting something like the songs mentioned are worth some less worthy cuts.

. I think my friend put the d&p outtakes in the in the broader musical panorama of the nineties. I'm loving many of the tracks that have come out so far but I know that part of my opinion is distorted by the fact that I adore Prince. I can understand that a critic who has listened to much more material than me and much more heterogeneous than me might be less impressed. For example, he found that inside there were several new jack swings that were also poorly produced. He's also a critic who says he's anxiously awaiting the release of Parade SDE, so he loves a certain more musically fortunate period in his own right. | |

ok, fair....I am no fan of that New Jack Swingy attempts Prince makes during this era. Just listened to Hey U and, well, don't love that sound. It's the 1st time I'd heard Prince sound...like others fairly blatantly.
Whatever the case, loving many of the songs I've heard.... | |

. BTW I also asked about the end of Live 4 Love and he told me the track is very long, ~ 8 minutes, with different rap inside. I don't think it is the same The Flow '90 I heard some times ago because my friend told me the last rap is sung by Prince (a good rap he said). | |

I think it is easy to forget, the man passed 7 years ago and we are still benefiting from his work. He still blows us away with each release. Who else can do this? So critics should keep this firmly in mind, there is no one who has left this much first rate material.... | |

I’ll be keeping these a little less epic from now on … I’ll attempt to anyway. I suspect the entire set will leak soon so it’d be nice to get through everything before that happens and renders this thread redundant. Same thing occured with SOTT and W2A, so I’ll step on the gas from here. Darkside tomorrow.
LAURIANN The other one should have been you Twice as fine as you did on the day we said goodbye!
