N.E.W.S.! IT'S OUT!
In the hallway, check the posters on the ceiling. The news room now lets you hear the album and buy the cd. And on top of all that it's only ten dollars. This is so nice. | |

That makes a grand total of 18.99 for international buyers.. man u can buy a 4..even 6-7 track single in the UK for £3.99 Oh well, gotta shell out more $$$ i guess and quit whining... unless... did somebody say P2P???

What a cool listen! I don't know what it would be classified as. I guess Prince is right when he simply says "new directions in music". I have already ordered it, though I know I'll be able to download it for free in a week or two. Who cares... | |

To my uttmost surprise:
- I downloaded the file and listened to it without any interruptions!!! It was around half a hour after availing the music (7:30 CET). I couldn't believe... Not only did the servers NOT crash, but it all went smoothly - the price for the CD is very reasonable... $10 - the track is not exactly 14:00 minutes - this is for all those that were afraid that again Prince first set out a pattern which he tried to fulfill with disregad to artistic concerns - the exact time is 14:51 - the music is not something that nailed me to the floor but so far so good. in other words, I am stunned - for the first time in my dealings with NPGMC (a member since Year 1) I found nothing to complain. thanks to all those who made this happen ______________

as to the sort of music that North represents - my real player shows "jazz" in genre column but I wouldn't be so sure... it's neither jazz nor rock (let alone pop or R&B). a mix of the two I think ______________

has anyone that signed up as a new member this year ordered the ona live 3cd set? i'm curious if it includes the piano album too.
last year's members received the piano cd as a 4th disc in the boxset (i believe) and i'm wondering if this is still happening. thanks in advance for your response. i'm signing up to be a member on friday. the fact that news is a reasonable price, and that the dvd is coming out soon make it unfair to refer to yourself as still being an admirer of prince while not supporting him when he does things like this. | |

yeah, i could download the files off the internet, and have my friend burn a copy of the dvd... but as if anyone needed more proof than the photo in my profile, i believe in supporting prince when i know pretty much what i'll be getting in return. (even if he charges a lot more than he is... all i expect in return is to know pretty much what to expect for my money... i'm not rich... and i expect more than streaming music of previously released material and a moderated chatroom that i'd never enter. he's come through with the news cd & dvd. hopefully there will be enough interest that he'll also release "xpectation" on cd as well. he should realize that there are enough of us that would rather buy the cd directly. i've yet to personally burn ANY of the npgmc files that i've grabbed off of kazaa in the hopes that he'll do just this.) it's nice to finally feel comfortable enough to join... | |

My weak attempt at sarcasm was directed at those who see a conspiracy in every move Prince makes. You don't know what people see, but you can know this: Ani di Franco releases WHOLE ALBUMS for 8$ and 1$ shipping national and international, on her website. And not just 1 album... No, all her albums. Prince only releases 4 instrumental jams for 10$ plus 9$ shipping international. Guess why. | |

Can't WAIT to hear this!!
Excuse my ignorance - I may have missed someone's thread - but how do you buy this? I've been to the Retail section and there's no sign of it. Are you able to buy it by clicking on the 'NEWS' signs in the foyer? Sorry,I only ask because I'm in work and - if you have to listen to the track first - I won't be able to do it until later. | |

More details, please! What's it like? Comparisons w/ xpectation and other artists?
Does any1 have any ideas whether it will ever b available 2 non-members (for ppl like me who don't have access 2 a CD-burner and don't live in Europe or US for performance bonusses, membership is not worthwhile)? "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"
