rainbow children

I read that this cd can be bought only through the internet, but here in Italy, genova, there's a music shop who sells it...

Is it good? is it worth buying?

I personally I think it's worth it. But since you're new to Prince, maybe you can take a listen to it first in the record store? It's not really Peach, you know.
It's kind of jazzy at times, mellow, then funky with some rock. Not really straight-forward rock.
And some people mind the lyrics, so if you care about the lyrics when you listen to music, the best is you listen to it first.

If you want an album that shows amazing musicianship from (almost) one man alone, get it!

Yes, defintely buy the Rainbow Children. Don't pay any attention to the strange voice that you hear throughout, just enjoy the great music and his amazing voice. Enjoy!

It is absolutely stunning.

It took me a few listens to get past the deep voiceovers and the sometimes-overt religious tone, but it contains some of his best songs in years. In fact, the religious-themed ones are the best on the album. "The Everlasting Now," "Last December" and "Everywhere" are amazing.

Definitely pick up this disc. nod

For now I was able to listen to
SHE LOVES ME FOR ME : Really amazing
COUNT THE DAYS : Very cool
THE WORK PART 1 : Good (but Is it a J.Brown cover?)
DIGITAL GARDEN
WEDDING FEAST

I still have to evaluate the last 2.

one question is: that deep deformed voice appears often in the record?
