Well.. the one I am referring to is the original.. I keep forgetting that the one on the CB set isn't exactly the same..Quote:

yeh, i figured you were talking about the boot. i particularly like version 1, without the string section overdubs!
see.. when I heard Crystal Ball was getting released.. i figured he would have put songs like Rebirth of the Flesh.. songs like that...
not to mention.. his use of overdubs on the older songs on the set.. they were fine before all that.
ok....i can't not respond to this.....i haven't been expectin' much from that man since diamonds and pearls..i guess i've been buying his albums because the earlier ones were so good...as ror gold ...i found 1 song on it that was great...i kan't remember the name right now...but it was damn good...as for crystal ball bacon skin was great and she spoke to me was from the actual vault....i know because he sent it to me to cover around 90 what 3 and as for musicology that song was brilliant...the album was him best in years but there were a few chinks in the armour now the new one 3121...black sweat is all i've heard so far and i absolutly love it...the minimalism is great ..sorta reminds me of a pharell remix of kiss
wow, he sent you that to cover? That was a great song.. It was on his The Vault disk volume 1.. (The full long version)... and I believe the only reason this wasn't on the Crystal Ball 3cd set.. is cause it was given to WB to fufill his last album in the contract.. which actually was The Vault.Quote:

Wow, Be, any chance we'll ever heard your version of She Spoke To Me?
Yeah, that Vault album was tight, except that ridiculous '93 version of Old Friends For Sale, those re-written lyrics were retarded.
And yeh, when the Crystal Ball set was first announced in the Emancipation booklet, I thought it was going to be a legit release of the Original Crystal Ball triple album. Kind of a letdown, but it still had some gems on it, like Movie Star, That remix of Crucial, and that devastating live version of Days of Wild!
P.S. Baconskin!!! Love that shit! Alfred, open your hat!
Yeah! Exactly! It reminds me of his older work, without the heavy bass-line.Quote:

i havent heard the album yet, just saw an ad with a few bits and heard 3121 and it sounded freaky in a good way..
hope that dude releases moonbeam levels :)
Knowin him.. he wouldn't release the original... he would re-do it with a crap casio keyboard.. and possible since its talking about a "Better place to die" make it a more religious song..Quote:

look what he did with sadomasochistic groove? That was horrid
oooh no.. dont say that... haha.. ill hire a safe cracker to get it..
dont know sado. whats that about..?
well.. I have the older version of it.. its very good.. but compared to the one he crapped out in 2001 in the npgmc.. its rediculous sounding..Quote:

ahh yes.. the npgmc ..
its too long
i should check the org again!!
Fuck the org, housequake.com is a MUCH MUCH better forum, check that out, ether.
Housequake was my jam back in the day.
I don't think that I've ever heard a Prince album with more than 1 or 2 songs on it that I've liked, though usually those songs would be genius. And he ain't revolutionize SHIT, George Clinton and Sly Stone were doing the same fukkin thing both longer and better!
Saying that, he was the BOMB on SNL! :rock:
So whats the verdict. Is it alright?????? I mean the one song that I really liked on his last album was "call my name." I believe that was the title of it. I hope that there is a similar song on the next album. However, the reason I liked the song was because of the chorus. VINTAGE SOUL. great feeling. If you heard a white man try to sing like AL green or Kci Hailey.....He would be shot. Or perhaps castrated like me. Nothing like new jack swing and Vintage Soul choruses. But there better be harmony as well. :haha:
revolutionize? who cares.. he has got the best of a whole bunch of talents, some seriously weirdass songs as well as funky stuff
I'll agree with you.. I havent been very pleased with everything lately.. but his stuff is interesting..Quote:

not that it had much to compete with..
coz iz a hater....i feel him...and it's a good point...and lets not forget his affinity for jimi hendrix....but he's still a hater....oh yeah sldawn...when he sent me she spoke to me...i was kikin it with pearl...so on the real....i thought he sent it to me out of sarcasm ...to be honest with you...i didn't even notice how good the song was until it came out on the vault cd....i still think he was a lil upset with me for kikin it with his gyrl
A little hate is good for the soul! :haha:
