Pablo temo que sé lo mismo que tú....  que se trata de un disco de versiones elaborado como homenaje a PRINCE por un grupo de artistas noruegos y poco más.

Parecer ser que los percusores de la criatura son el grupo Glam Slam (http://www.glamslam.info/) y que incluso colabora la orquesta de OSlo y alguno de sus componentes como miembro de otros grupos... habrá que comprarlo, la iniciativa lo merece.

"Brilliant king Prince celebration

A five CD set as crazy and boundriless as the man being celebrated.

Stockholm 1987: Prince is standing on the edge of the stage, grinding and gyrating. Suddenly he starts running up the street placed as an arch between the neon signs decorating the stage - whilst playing guitar. On his way down he stumbles on purpose and somersaults (sp?) down - still playing. As he arrives at the mic stand at the middle of the stage, he kicks it over as he goes by and ends his somersault with a split. The mic lands in his hand exactly as the song ends, just in time for Prince to release a short, feminine shriek.

These were just a few seconds of the Prince concert at Isstadion in the Swedish capitol during the Sign O' The Times tour. My jaw was on the floor for two hours, and it's still the best concert I've seen and heard.

A huge project.

Norway's biggest Prince fan is Christer Falck (Meh...I beg to differ.) who's behind this huge project. It contains 81 versions of songs written by our Minneapolis hero between 1978 and 2007.

Just about every Norwegian artist is participating, from A-magasinets columnist Joachim Lund to production team Stargate - who normally eat cherries with America's biggest commercial artists. It's not necessarily the most well known artists who make the most interesting versions.

You'll find smooth jazz, bold country, ordinary gospel, free spirited experiments, sweet pop, brutal rock guitars, caribian hip gyrating rythms, dirty electronica, funky straightforwardness, raw blues and a solid dose of Norwegian melancoly. All attempted sorted into five parts.

Raging

The first CD is guitar heavy, and contains the most brutal versions. Dog Almighty turns "Sexy MF" into high pressure rock, while Lukestar tiptoes through "Raspberry Beret" in falsetto.

The second one is funky. It starts off cool with ex Span vocalist Jarle Bernhoft and the Broadcasting Orchestra, shining a well deserved spotlight on un-known "The One" (You gotta love the "un-known"  ). Thom Hell takes over and caresses "Crazy you". But still this is the weakest of the 5 CDs. It's hard to match a beatmaster Prince in heat.

The third kicks off like a pop record with the Morten Abel - typical version of "Anotherloverholenyohead", but is a fun toybox containing both country, Phil Spector-immitation, soft jazz and blues. The highlight is Ephemera's sweet version of "Manic Monday", a song Prince gave away to The Bangles.

Sølvguttene. (A renowned Norwegian boys' choir)

The fourth CD kicks off with Sølvguttene and Hilde Marie Kjersem's sacral version of "Joy in Repetition". The versions all go off in different directions, but have in common that they are stripped down and slow. Emphasis is put on the melodies and lyrics, and with the Norwegian tendency towards melancoly several of them cunningly change carachter.

The fifth is dedicated to experimenting, club electronics and differentness. My favourite is Nils Petter Molvær and Sidsel Endresen's strong "Sign O' the Times", filled with unsettledness (ok, I don't know if that's even a word in English...) and angst. Kadaa wraps the whole thing off with an absurd hurdy gurdy version of "Pussy Control" to the beat of a waltz.

This time last year the multi musician, songwriter, singer, producer, exentric and showman Prince played for 400 000 during 21 gigs in London. The stage show was much more spartan than in 1987, but nothing indicated that the powerforce on stage is about to turn 50.

But this coming Saturday he will be. Congratulations to him - and to everybody involved in this solid Norwegian celebration of him.

Dagbladet 03.06.08. A wonderful overdose
81 Norwegian Prince-coversongs sounds like much. Very much. But it appears to be just a perfect amount.

If you're gonna make a tribute-album, it's best to accegerate. To gather 15 Norwegian artists and ask them to do a Prince-cover for a 50 years birthday-gift is no big deal. To gather 81 different constellations and do the same, may seem like an overambitious thought. We're talking Christer Falck as the person behind this album, and a lot of potential bad and average tracks.

Quality/quantity

I don't say that this 5 cd-box doesn't contain a lot of average tracks (even tho it's just a few really bad ones) . But something happens with this quality/quantity-perception as you have came halfways in the box. The traditional "tribute-album" is usually very predictable, both construction- and implementationwise, often with a lot of big stars, trying too hard to make their own version of the track, which often results in a self-centered creativity. Coversongs should be done with both respect and own artistic integrity. The chance for a 15-track cover-cd to be unfullfilled, with too many weird tracks, stars who dissapoint you or haven't "understood" the track or obvious tracks that no-one wants to pay, is big.
Christetr Falcks wonderful "Shockadelica"-project manage to avoid these classical traps, because of it's massive eclectic width and enormous extent. It mirrors the whole of Prince career, where even his scolded 90's albums are well represented. But with 81 tracks you have to, mathematically, score more than on an average traditional tribute-cd.

Known and unknown

The quantity on this album will, however what a paradox it may sound, is the albums quality assurance. The generousity and the love of music who surrounds this album , makes the attributions that normally wouldn't "fit" out of space-, profile- or "starquality"-factor, are allowed to compete for attention with big artists like Morten Abel, Silje Nergaard, Espen Lind and Lene Alexandra. The celebrityfactor isn't that big in itself, but it's not necessarily automatical choises to include Loch Ness Mouse's Steely Dan-ifcated "Money Don't Matter 2 Night", Ulvers magnificent goth-soul-version og "Thieves In The Temple", or the Aftenposten-journalist Loacim Lunds surrprisingly successfull Country/murderballad-version of "Sign 'o' The Times". And improv-artist Maja Ratkje would probably not be able to open the cd with the albums most challenging track "Solo".
The wide scope also gives the box-set a more meaningful width of genres...a "normal" single tribute-cd is often a very "constructed" experience. On "Shcockadelica" you'll find long passages with bands and artists with heavy metal-background and you have enough soul and gospel-tracks to fill a double cd. And if you start to eliminate, you'll also find a nice and straight "pop-album". And of course, the less successful and the more over-anxious contributions is given a bigger whole to hide in. And even rarities like Christer Knutsen's Phil Spector-saluting "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man" finds it's natural place here. The initiator Christer Falck gives the buyer the editing-role, based on their preferances; which Prince do you like, and who would you like to deconstruct him. After all, "Shockadelica" is to consider a lifetime-project for the "Survivor"-celebrity and the musicbusiness wrangler Christer Falck, and if you add some qualitywise slack, "Shockadelica" is fulfilled and more!
Here are my personal favourites from "Shockadelica":
Maja S.K. Ratkje feat. Rolf Erik Nystrøm: «Solo», El Caco: «I Feel For You», Lukestar: «Raspberry Beret», Ulver feat. Siri Stranger:
«Thieves In The Temple», KORK & Jarle Bernhoft: «The One», Anne Marie Almedal:
«Paisley Park», Thom Hell: «Crazy You», Sofian feat. Ole Staveteig: «The Truth», King Midas: «Take Me With U», The Loch Ness Mouse: «Money Dont Matter 2 Night», Minor Majority: «If I Was Your Girlfriend», The White Birch: «Purple Rain», Morten Qvenild: «Under The Cherry Moon», Anneli Drecker & Bugge
Wesseltoft: «I Wish U Heaven», Jens Carelius & The Mainstreams: «The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker », Kaada: «P. Control (Pussy Outta Coltrol Remix)».
