Discuss the Reflection tracks: Somebody's Somebody (Ultrafantasy Mix), Curious Child, Dreamin' About U

All great tracks, as far as I'm concerned.

The Ultrafantasy Mix is one of the last great remixes he did on a single - sounded really cool at the time. That (programmed) bass drum is better than anything Kirky could come up with.

Curious Child has always been one of my secret favorites - a very sweet, gentle song that could have fitted on the One Nite Alone piano album.

Dreamin' About U wasn't a favorite of mine at the time - seemed like other people thought it was one of the best tracks he'd ever done. I now like it a lot more, especially the fretless bass played by Rhonda. The spoken lyrics get a little tiresome, though.

You think Prince is in an Emancipation mood? Hmmm, perhaps the tour will be an Emancipation-only tour. lol...

What are you talking about? Is "Reflection" going to be a single? Am I missing something?
See the man with the blue guitar, maybe one day he`ll be a star...

And how much should we charge 4 that?
If u would prefer it we could just not do this at all.
NPGMC, money well spent!

do you mean that remix was released somehow - as best as I can tell, this is the first track in the reflection room that was something not previously released. Well, the song was on Emancipation, but I didn't think this remix was released.

It was on one of the Holy River singles.

One of the UK/European CD singles - it contained The Holy River (edit), Somebody's Somebody (edit), Somebody's Somebody (Livestudio Mix) [also great, btw] and Somebody's Somebody (Ultrafantasy Mix) [actually called Ultrafantasy Edit IIRC - I wonder if there is a full version somewhere).

The other Holy River UK CD single had The Holy River (edit), The Most Beautiful Girl In The World (Mustang Mix) and On Sale Now!, a 48-second commercial for 1-800-New-Funk with prince asking an operator about Emancipation merchandise, over the Somebody's Somebody instrumental backing track.

Wow, don't know why I explained all that - must be bored...
