Right !

Its been decided in many a chillout recently that we oughta check some of Prince's stuff.

As usual I'm the poor sod that has to do all the running around.

I've been on the discography type sites and he's done frickin' loads of albums.

I wanna know what's hot and what's not.

?

I've been known to play Erotic City when playing a house set. I think that is from "Girl 6" soundtrack, I'm not sure just got the single.

you can buy the 3 CD box 'The Hits/The Bsides' which has all his erm hits and erm b-sides. Has all the classics like kiss, when doves cry, purple rain, little red corvette, erotic city etc...

YOU MUST BUY SIGN O THE TIMES

everyone should own this album. its awesome.

dirty mind, controversy, lovesexy is ok. i actually liked the batman soundtrack too , but then i was 15

which is the one with raspberry beret on? i love that, and hey nikki

but basically sign o the times ...so many great tracks the best being:

the ballad of dorothy parker
if i was your girlfriend
starfish and coffee

i like tha black album, good sheit.

21st March 2003, 14:33
..."money don't matter" is a nice song...i'll have it in the old slsk out box in about 45 mins from now. (now being 14.33 on 21/3/03)

Lady E
21st March 2003, 14:33
can you actually get the black album? i thought it was never released

$eye
21st March 2003, 14:34
Emma... you ever manage to get a copy of "hex enduction hour" ?

dirtyho
21st March 2003, 14:38
if i was your girlfriend is a great track, i've also heard erotic city in a house set - good choice

phil
21st March 2003, 14:38
the black album is hard to get, i only have the songs on a tape, but u prolly get that on ebay for a small fortune.

...i like prince, sign o the times and parade are the albums i have...

old skool
21st March 2003, 14:47
Nice one... albums noted.

Is Sign of The Times, the one with the track that has him yabbin' on about people doing horse and stuff, cos I like that track.

And I too loved the Batman soundtrack but yes, I was only 13.

I might go for that boxset, but if its dead dear, then people can bloody chip in ... sick of paying for peepz chillout entertainment (if you know what I mean ;-)

What about Diamonds and Pearls - its got Cream and Get Off on it ???

Or is it more his early 80's stuff that's the best ?

$eye
21st March 2003, 14:49
...How about diamond & pearls? that track i was on about earlier in this thread when i thought you were phil is on that album...not one of his bestest albums but that song real good

phil
21st March 2003, 14:53
hes not me silly.

Lady E
21st March 2003, 14:56
Sign O the times is the title track , and says "my cousin did a reefer for the very first time, now he's doing horse, its june"

i think that's the classic album really

prince declined a lot after lovesexy, but i hear a return to form is imminent. i saw him doing a small live gig on tv last year or something and it looked fucking incredible.

id love to hear the black album...De:Bug said raw digits sounded like it

$eye - no sign of Hex Enduction hour anywhere...whenever you see The Fall in 2nd hand shops (and 7875 was kindly looking for me in the US too) its always the same ones. the rare shit never comes up. people just hang on to it...grrrr

$eye
21st March 2003, 14:59
i know this girl called rebecca wright who was the biggest prince fan ever. She was also a real hot looker. After being asked by prince himself she went on a date with him. He tried to bed her but she was going out with this guy called rob marshall (who's now gay) and she declined him...She said he was all hands and she was taller than him and that put her off him. 3 months later rob marshall dumped her. Do you think she should have banged Prince?

decadnids
21st March 2003, 15:01
hmm interesting question $eye....
she seems a loyal lass, so that is something.
and if prince didnt rock her boat, then well thats the way it goes.
but she could have done so and sold her story.
....

phil
21st March 2003, 15:02
raw digits didnt sound anything like the black album.
Th black album is pretty dark but its not really weird and stuff. Also Prince doesnt use any vocal effects. (although i heard that was a warp contract deal)

21st March 2003, 15:04
he's FUNKY like no otha

jamyna
21st March 2003, 15:05
"rock hard in a funky place" - thats the one i remember from the black album, you may be able to find it on soulseek maybe, its rather gooode. emma i saw a live vid from about a year ago and it totally blew me away, he always has the tightest band going.

That'd be the one. I like that track. So ! Sign O The Times it is then.

Oh and a few people I've been sat off with when I've put Raw Digits on have also noted that it sounds quite Princey in places, oh and a couple of tracks on Jamie Liddels album too.

Is Jamie Liddel gonna start wearing high heeled boots with a p-funk purple jumpsuit anytime soon ? He must be a hit with the laydeez....

:-)

Lady E
21st March 2003, 15:13
i agree
a few years ago i dreamt that i 'banged' prince, or maybe that he 'banged' me. he was really good so she missed out.


alright jamyna? when you off on tour?

jamyna
21st March 2003, 15:19

Lady E
21st March 2003, 15:22
jamie always gets compared to prince vocals wise, i can see where they are coming from but he doesnt really sound like him

he's also too tall for the boots. shame that.

have a good one jamyna!

good luck jamyna..
signothetimes was a big part of growing up

Em, i never managed to get the original (although it is fair to say that i have looked as hard for it as i have a new car and i can't even drive or afford to keep a gold fish alive let alone buy a new car)
However online it was as easy as stealing cloves of garlic, black pepper and other small pots of condiments from safeway on st james' street.
So in short i could burn you a copy in the wrong order if you like.

p.s. That prince girl (becky Wright) broke my heart with her ways & looks. Ask barry if he's there with you. I think he'll remember her.

Lady E
21st March 2003, 16:37
alas no barry today, but ill be sure to ask him. how dare she?


i have been inundated with offers of burned copies of hex now (well yours was the second). i may need to take you up on that offer. i can send mark e £8 or something. or spend it on drink for myself, its what he'd want

$eye
21st March 2003, 16:42
do you have his address...
we could send him a bottle of that scottish tonic wine i was reading about from a different thread. That sounds like good booze. Good booze. Caffeine aswell. Does it taste nice? Is it anything like sloe gin?

"I'm sure I read in an interview with Jamie and Cristian that one of Jamie's musical influence was his sister, who painted her room black and would sit in it listening to her Prince tapes endlessly. There may also have been something said about locking producers in said room with a couple of tape machines and then seeing what music they can make... ha ha which would make for some amusing reality TV.

Apologies if I've dreadfully misquoted, well I know I've misquoted it... I mean got it all badly wrong...

Around the world in a day = one of the best Prince album in my opinion...
I love everything he did with tThe Revolution, and of course, Sign Of the times is a must-have...

Lady E
21st March 2003, 17:56
grobelaar - you are correct. i think it was in the wire. jamie grew up on prince.

$eye - buckfast doesnt taste like sloe gin. its got a vimto / benylin quality ...a hearty yet cloying and syrupy drink

next time we have a visit from scotland ill ask them to bring you some, if you are good.
i reckon MES drinks white lightening tho

he is god.the god of funk. never believed that anyone here besides my likes his music. he is the only person i'd like to go to concert, no other could make me to go into these masses of humans appearing always on concerts.
oh, he was really a freak back in the days

prince and the new power generation: 'lovesymbol' is a good one, also 'lovesexy'. but i think any of his albums are worth to buy if they are older than, lets say 10 years

My big brother was quite into Prince - I'm sure he still likes his stuff.
I'm not gonna pretend I know bags about him, and all of the records he released, but I know that he is indeed one of the funky-sexy-daddy's of music...

We have a Prince album in our vinyl collection downstairs - it's a picture-disk "Purple Rain".

I'm sure it's been scratched to fuckery now, but all the same, it looks preety...

Prince actually lives nearby- He married a woman from Toronto... Haven't yet run into him at the market... or heard him hummin' on the subway.

and PRINCE again ...

I love his music and most of the Releases, especially the "Sign´O The Times"-Album (the whole album is brilliant) and the "Parade"-Album with the unbelievable "Mountains" and the very sexy "Boys & Girls".

The most danciest Track is "Baby I´m Star" from the Purple Rain-Soundtrack. I think it has 140 bpm. Bang the Box!

and for me the best Popsong ever: Raspberry Beret

some other great trax:
Cream
America
When Doves Cry
Erotic City
Let´s go Crazy

PRINCE is KING!

I saw Prince live a few times - Lovesexy tour, Wembley; Nude tour; then Diamonds and Pearls, which, while it didn't match up with the other tours, was still fantastic in a sleazy kind of way.

The Lovesexy tour blew me away though - I'll never forget it.
Anyone else ever caught the funked-up little pervert live?

huey
20th July 2003, 12:59
Yep, I saw him in Dortmund/ Westfalenhallen. It was the "Alphabet Street"-Tour. The concert was brilliant, a little bit like a big party ... and Sheila bang the drums ... :)
