Hello,

Here is my first review:

Flashback 1987 Terence Trent D'arby (BTW he goes by the name Sananda Maitreya now) His C.D.'s Inroducing the Hardline...(Great funk music), Neither Fish, Nor Flesh (My 2nd favorite), Symphony or Damn (Great mixture of rock, soul and yes country), Vibrator (Great Rock/Soul C.D.) and now 8 years later...Wild Card- The Jokers Edition. Wow! No wonder it took him so long to release a C.D. This is pure perfection and his best work yet. A mixture of diverse music. So candid! 19 songs of pure soul music at it's Greatest! Outshines anything that is out there now. Truly a piece or ART! I've seen him perform live 4 times now, By the way i recently saw him at B.B. Kings (NYC) this summer 2003 and his voice is still incredible! Don't miss out on this C.D. release you won't be sorry! Check out his Official Website... www.sanandamaitreya.com

You seem to be a bit behind in your reviews...lol. Next review - Rave un2 the Joy Fantastic!

sorry but i had to put in my 2 cents. Plus i'm new here.

My favourite track from that album is What shall I do.Amazingly beautiful!Word has it that he´s got a new
album comcing out called Angels and Vampires.
Great title!/peace Manki

Seriiious?

Don't be too offended, but using that many exclamation marks is not going to land you a job in the music press.

What's up, jn
IMO, Joe (hola, nice to see you here again ) is right, Wildcard as well as TTD's/Sananda's other albums are all superb and can't be praised enough IMHO . And why review an average album as Rave un2 the Joy Fantastic

TTD's Wildcard is a GREAT CD!! Favorite tracks have to be Testify, Everythang... What shall i do, is my FAVORITE and holds a special place in my heart! Love that song!!!
I went to 2 of his concerts a few months back and he was awesome and I had a great time. I was really glad I went to the shows!!

Hola Serious, Babycakes and the Sananda fans,

I just sometimes don't think this man got the respect in the industry as he should have. Manki yes he is working on Angels And Vampire and i hope he releases this year as he is about to tour the US this year! My likes on the Wildcard CD...My Dark Places, SRR-636, Sayin' about you (done slow in concert), Sweetness +

Again?

JoeBala said:

Very true, Joe
Well, my favourite tracks on Wildcard are Sweetness, Shadows, Some Birds Blue, Reflecting, The Inner Scream and Designated Fool, but there are many more great songs on it

I like the whole Wildcard CD! and who else lets you get free songs on his website? Not PRINCE! he seems to be everywhere hmmm is a new CD coming out?

Any buy the Joss Stone CD? I think it pretty cool!"Fell in love with a boy" sounds like TTD's "Supermodel Sandwich" in phrasing and music. Any thoughts?

Word, Joss Stone definitely is the blue-eyed soul of the millenium.

But anyways, "Wildcard" is a very fine album. But it's just that TTD is talented, but it's just his ego that I have a problem with. He bragged about his first album saying it was greater than The Beatles, then he diesses the industry. What's up with that?

Yeah NWF, but he meant it more like a joke, but i guess nobody got it. I think he had a right to diss the industry + Prince did it too. Those guys really got robbed! As did alot of people in the industry. That's why Prince and Terence (Sananda) have their own labels. Can't wait to see what they come up on her new CD (coming out soon) Joss is impressive for her age 16.

Yeah, many people didn't understand that TTD was being ironic when he said certain things (btw, this was in 1987!!!).

The same way people couldn't tell that I was being sarcastic when I said "next review - rave?"

artist08 said:

I am quite sure everybody got that

Are there really people here who do not own Wildcard yet? If so, go now and buy it!

Hi Peter!

Good to see you on here to lead the troops I'm sure alot of people don't know of the release of WildCard. So i'm trying to get the word out. Maybe this will lead a way for a TTD/Prince performance on the grammys?

Peter said:

yes,me.I have looked in several stotres and cannot find.i guess it must be ordered.

Rockwilder,

Actually i've seen it at all the big chain stores Tower records, Virgen, Bestbuy, etc. his website sells it also. www.sanandamaitreya.com

JoeBala said:

Yep, Rockwilder you should really get it, it's a brilliant album, really worth ordering if you can't get it in a store near you

Yeah, better than anything out there at the moment.

I think "Shalom" is a very good song. I believe that's the track that our favorite guitarist, Wendy Melvoin, plays on.

NWF said:

Very cool i didn't know that. Is this the only track she played on? Any other known musicians play on Wildcard?

tHANK YOU!!I will check that out!!

Serious said:

oK.I have every official album except this one.He is one of the greats and should be in the Hall of Fame,too.

NWF said:

No that's not true, the song is "Sweetness", not "Shalom". Wendy plays bass on this track. From the liner notes of the album (but just from the first edition of the album, he re-released it and changed the credits, but the song is still on): Bass: The Fabulous- The Original- The One And Only Super Goddess: Wendy Melvoin
