Crystal Ball : Title Track

Is it just me or does it sound like this track is too busy? It seems like it has a LOT going on

with it when you listen to it.
"Why'd I waste my kisses on you baby?" R.I.P. Prince You've finally found your way back home. Well Done.

If you think that song is short then you'll think any Prince song is to short.

I'm listening to 'Dream Factory' right now. It's nice when it's thundering & raining. Oh, it just finished, next track...I really like this album too! nod

I hear you. This is Prine at his most heavily orchestrated. However, I find this over-produced style irritating and impenetrable, Cyrstal Ball is an exception. A seriously dope track. Funky as all hell and a great one song showcase of P’s brilliance.

"This person is not Prince'...I'm not sure what that's about...I really like 'Love Sign' too, it has a west coast 90's style to it.

I used to say this was my favorite P song of all. It may still be. Just an amazing tour de force.

I love this song. I always play this for people that mainly associate Prince with Purple Rain or Kiss.

Crystal Ball- just another in a long line of SUPER BAD ASS tracks by Prince, and this one happens to be one of the baddest ever. I'd like to see anybody in the top 40 come anywhere close to this brilliance.

The greatest Prince song ever in my opinion! Prince at his most experimental, I love all the production details, and I love the orchestra parts in it. This song is a trip and a testament to Prince's genius.
RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time...
