the best parts of Parade repeated repeat since the recent love of Anotherlover and Mountains, plus the fall..Parade reminds me of Fall-Winter music
The best parts of Parade: the transitional drumming from New Position to I Wonder U to UTCM. He supposedly did all the drumming for three songs in one take. The bass on New Position..sweet The slow groove of I Wonder U..and the ending of it with that heaviness...and that muted horn throughout..and the girls laid back vocal...and the geetar picking at the very end In UTCM where Prince goes "thats alright" in the breakdown bridge..and U can hear the horns having a field day with headphones How Girls and Boys has that push me pull you rubbery bottom like Bowies Fame. When the girls sing I Love U Baby, I Love U so Much--damn!The kazoo keyboard and the linn drum "kuhh!" sound at the end how Life Can Be So Nice starts up real fast and has that "kah" sound at the beginning with the keyboard lines..then it stops when Prince starts to sing...when he says "Kisses never lie" it all starts up again--this is Roadhouse Garden material--really. Then near the end it all comes crashing together with the vocals going wild! the drums live being played furiosly, then it ends how Venus just pops up giving the sense of having just reached climax and now your laying there letting it happen...and the mournful horns polaying near the end--I picture an overcast dock when they play..and that last piano key played then the very best part is the opening of Mountains..that linn drum making it like rubber and the "puhc puck' sounds interlaces throughout the fake heavy drums...the falsetto--nice and "dry"...the part that says "the sea would one day overflow with all your tears, and love will always leave ya lonely"..the ethereal choir (or is it synth) that gets higher in register...the horn blasts like staccato keyoard synths..the break fucking down...the part where he says "guitar and drums on the one, huh!"..then the guitar strumming..slurp..then part where he goes "and the girls say/sing"... the bass seprated in Do U Lie...when he says "mama mama" or something like that..and when he comes back for the bridge and says "when I lie..." the JB geetar lick that opens Kiss..almost like a reverse of when Venus starts, inside out..the push push sound like moving furniture...the denseness of the production..sounds like its "air tight"...the drum sound and that synth tha spounds like nothing else...the wah wah geetar part..saying Dynasty, one of the only few pop culture references hes ever used..the ending geetar licks like its being strangled the droning strains of Anotherlover..and the drums beating like they're waitng for something..then the boom of the piano and sludge...the bottomness of the whole song..his lackadaisical singing..(this song is POP Life inside out btw)...how the girls etc sing with Prince a few beats behind then it all comes together for the chrous after the second verse...the geetar strains in th e bridge..and when he says "baaad"...thers gonna be a riot and when they say that thers that piano key rise real quick Sometimes Snows In April..The "ahs ahs oh ohhhs", the tuba sounding Prince singing with that first ones..then the real horn blwoing...the strumming of the acoustic...the chorus voices mixed on the title part and when they sing "sometinmes I feel so bad"...when he says "now looking at his picture I realize". "Climb in my fur." | |

Didn't Eric Leeds say that that sound was from a new guitar synth. that Prince had just bought at the time?   Proud member of Prince's cult for 20 years! | |

Fall/Winter?
I always get Spring from the opening track, but I see Winter in the last track. Maybe it goes through the whole year's seasons on 1 album!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm a sucker for a major chord | |

...anyone that can write:
All the women say he was the best He had money up 2 his neck But it didn't mean a heck The boy was in need of some diehard pussy The kinda drawers that last Heck-a-buff, good God, I wantcha! (  & $ )
Is alright by me!  The ironic thing is that I remember hearing that Prince was apparently quoted as saying: "Parade was a disaster. Apart from 'Kiss,' there's nothing on it I'm particularly proud of." 
Musical geniuses eh?  ...go figure!  | |

Yeah, didn't he think he rushed it a bit too much to get it finished in time? Maybe that's why the B sides and extended versions are so good? G All orgnotes and emails requesting trades or how to acquire bootleggage will be ignored. - The ThreadKiller - | |

I remember this as well. Perhaps he was speaking more in ref. to the other songs commercial success. Kiss was the only commercial success from "Parade" hell it went to #1. | |

True - It did come out like, SUPA fast (not that I/we were complaining! That album was immeadiate - I liked every song then, and I still do. My ONLY critisism is that it should have been longer - but then again, the BEST albums always SHOULD leave u begging 4 more... Not 2 mention the fact that It's the one album (along with maybe the exception of Dirty Mind) out of his entire back catalogue that u can safely say he didnt fiddle with too much - he let his muse fly and just got it OUT. So with that in mind, it makes it XTRA special in my book...  | |

The best bits?
The best ever segue part between Girls & Boys and Life Can Be so Nice. The "Girls...and...boys" bang!. The intro to Anotherloverholinyohead. Classic drum programming. . | |

Do U Lie - whole song, you can do the most dramatic gestures and faces while singing along to this song, lots of swooning all over the room (the kids go into hysterics when they see mummy doing this). I put it on repeat, but before finishing I have to listen to Anotherlover... to hear the girl back-ups I love. | |

My favourite parts too.
Also, he goes through so many varied tones and emotions in such a short period. Do U Lie = distrust kiss = lust Anotherlover = jealousy Sometimes it snows = loss | |
