Mr Skeleton is actually the first song of his since Wildcard that i can kind of fuck with

straight out of Depeche Mode's first works....

I've never picked up the 'chapters' when he's released them in the past, always just gone for the album when it's released. Does anyone know if these have historically included different mixes to what appeared on the finished album? Different mastering?

Catchy chorus..I like it. Fits right in with the craziness that's going on right now....I want to hear his "Prince" song.

It's not really a "song" as such, just an instrumental piano piece. Most likely a tribute to Prince.

Interesting. He did a similar such thing in tribute to Whitney Houston on Return to Zooathalon, the keyboard instrumental titled "Last Train to Houston."

On his site you can read his origins description of each piece of the Chapter One series of material, wherein he explains that the work is indeed a tribute to Prince Rogers Nelson.

I've also picked out The Cure, The Rolling Stones, Fishbone, Funkadelic, George Clinton, Prince, James Brown, Sam Cooke, The Beatles, Ludwig V. Beethoven, etc. in his works.

He finds some pretty cool sounding people to emulate, LOL. And add puns!

Cool, but his voice sounds rough (sacrilage to say it I know) and it sounds more like a demo than something finished. Maybe thats the intended effect though .

And I speak as a TTD/ Sananda fan who has explored and enjoyed post-Wild Card albums 'Angels and Vampire' and 'Nigor Mortis' (so far with more to come).

Also glad that he's done something more electronic sounding again, as his one man band thang has definitely yielded mixed results musically post Wildcard.

He definitely did not 'jump the shark' post Wildcard imo, he just changed his music styles, turned down the funk rock/ r'n'b side and turned up the singer-songwriter.

Would be cool though if he did soon return to a slicker funk rock style though, as he's been doing the indie singer-songwriter one man band thang for like 20 years now .

I know in the early days (Angels & Vampires era), the chapters were not mastered.

The difference is fairly minimal - they just don't sound as good. Have them sitting at home somewhere, but what with one thing and another in the world right now, I haven't been home (or even that continent) since February.

Listened to Mr Skeleton.

Same boring Sananda.

The Slave years were glorious for the art.

I hear that. Most of my music is boxed so I've had an old iPod and some recently purchased vinyl to see me through. There's more important things going on right now I know but damn I miss music; streaming just doesn't cut it!
