Wendy with Prince = Roadhouse Garden?

On another thread I noticed that Jestyr had posted the following:
-----
Various information about Roadhouse Garden gathered from the 'net:

Another project involving the vault is called "Roadhouse Garden". It's a collection of songs recorded by Prince when he was with The Revolution, and includes "Splash", "All My Dreams" and "In a Dark Room with No Light" . It was announced that it would be released sometime in 1999. However when questioned about the status of the album by a fan on his web site, he stated that it depended on the involvement of Wendy & Lisa. They responded on their web site that they haven't been approached to work with him. So at this point, the release of "Roadhouse Garden" is uncertain.

Interview with Kurt Loder (excerpt):

Loder: There's been some talk of some old tracks with The Revolution, your previous band, your old band, coming out as an album called "Roadhouse Garden." Is that possibly, maybe, going to happen?

The Artist: We did three tracks for the record, meaning I went in and finished them, and then I put "Roadhouse Garden" on the backburner, so nothing's really happening with it.

From SonicNet March 1999:

SonicNet: Can you tell us when we'll see the release of Roadhouse Garden? Please describe the sound and vibe of the material on the album. Can you reveal some of the songs to be included?

The Artist: Eye have been allowing 4 the run of Girl Bros. [the 1998 album by Revolution members Wendy & Lisa] b4 the release of the Garden record. It has songs on it that feature The Revolution in a front role, as a band; where songs on Crystal Ball were more recent "bootlegs" with various other musicians. Some song titles include: "Splash," "All My Dreams" and "In a Dark Room with No Light." The beauty of r ownership of the master tapes will b felt when one hears the REMIXED newly digitized versions of these classic REVOLUTION songs. A quick sound comparison of 1999: The New Master and the older version strikes at the very heart of the issue of The Creator of the music being the one who dictates its path. This is in accordance with UNIVERSAL LAW.

Interview with Love4OneAnother:

L4OA: what is the status of Roadhouse Garden?

O)+>: Roadhouse Garden got sidelined 4 a sec but it will take at the most – 3 weex 2 finish..
Most of the trax were cool 2 begin with
They just needed minimal production and a mix

L4OA: Any titles – or is it a surprise?

O)+>: Some titles include..."Witness 4 the Prosecution”...and..."SPLASH” which was one of my favorites
All the songs that Wendy and Lisa sang on were left off...of the Crystal Ball package 2 save 4 a Revolution album

Now that has got me thinking (oh no not me as well). Perhaps Wendy is working with Prince again but NOT because the Revolution are reforming but because they are going to finish Roadhouse Garden and that is coming out in 2004 to coincide with Purple Rain 20th anniversary etc?
'I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.' Mayte 21st April 2016 = the saddest quote I have ever read! RIP Prince and thanks for everything.
