Random thoughts on Musicology, and other things Princely - I find Cinnamon girl intoxicating (yes it screams cheesy but I like it)
- I am not fond of any of the ballads on Musicology (I find the melodies and vocals dull) - Musicology is the most cohesive and funky dance track P has made since the mid eighties. - The synth work on couple of tracks (Marrying Kind) are extremely irritating. - I remain more intrigued with TRC than Musicology. - I am baffled that Prince does not "free his guitar" in the studio to capture half of the passion and brilliance that I have seen live. "Beautiful Strange" in Hollywood as well as the performances on "Joy in R" and "Guitar gently Weeps" are some of the most brilliant pieces of musicianship that I have ever witnessed. - If Prince's guitar playing is "average" as some on this board have said, what exactly is good/great? To some, if it isn't Hendrix or Vai, it is just ok. - I find that symbol guitar to be horrid, yet it seems to fit right in with P. Could you see anyone else using that guitar? - I am absolutely smitten with Candy and Rhonda and this probably clouds my opinion of their musical abilities. - I found the grammy performance that has received critical acclaim to be quite boring by Prince's standards [This message was edited Wed May 12 13:09:28 2004 by MorehouseMan] | |
