Prince

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.

"Controversy" rocks too.....

Oops...

[Marolo]

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...

[Lady E]

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.

..."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]

can you actually get the black album? i thought it was never released

Emma... you ever manage to get a copy of "hex enduction hour" ?

[dirtyho]

if i was your girlfriend is a great track, i've also heard erotic city in a house set - good choice

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.

[mr franks]

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

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 ?

...

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

hes not me silly.

[Lady E]

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

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]

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.
....

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)

he's FUNKY like no otha

[jamyna]

"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]

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]

next friday, starting in rotterdam

[Lady E]

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!

[jamyna]

thanks emma!
we're in Brighton on April 20th BTW, let me know if you wanna come down.

[MUX]

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

The Slave era kinda sucked tho

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.
