Chuck Romerales

     Esta tarde he recibido un mensajito de Amazon Reino Unido diciéndome (muy amablemente, eso si) que se ha cancelado la edición del lote de 3 discos... sin dar explicación alguna del porque y remitiendo a que busques si alguien lo vende de segunda mano...

Nuria1999, esto está sacado de alguna fuente? Es decir, es un dato ya confirmado? Se sabe también en qué lugares de L.A. van a ser los conciertos?

Otra cosa, ¿no va a haber metales en ninguna de las tres formaciones?
Oh baby, I really like your look
When U lay your eyes on me, U know I'm hooked
I'm waiting 2 feel your touch
Your body, your mind, and soul...
Is that 2 much?

Yo ya visto lo visto, no sé qué hacer. Si Prince va a vender el lote "físico" en su Web, supongo que lo compraré allí, pero, ¿y si es sólo mp3?. A mí me gusta tener el disco en la mano aunque el libreto sea una horterada del copón (porque hay que ver que vaya portadita la de Bria, vamos, ni los Camela...). Y ahora Amazon cancela la edición. Uf.

Por otro lado, ¿se sabe si se va a vender en tiendas tipo FNAC? Lo digo por si tengo que ir mirando en otras Webs. ¿Creéis que Prince se arriesgaría a no vender el disco en tiendas físicas? Qué complicación, no?

Muchas gracias Patricio. Como no ponía nada de FB, ni el link, no sabía de donde había salido esa información (y mira que suelo estar atenta al Doctor...). Lo dicho, gracias PR.

Yo también pregunté lo de la venta en las tiendas y no me contestó nadie, se ve que aún es pronto para saberlo o que nadie sabe nada.
U + me, what a ride

POR LO KE DICE ESTE ARTICULO...........................QUE NO ESPEREMOS NADA GENIAL DE PRINCE EN ESTOS CDS, INCLUSO KE EL MPLSOUND MERECE MAS LA PENA KE EL LOTUSFLOW3R



Associated Press Review - "Prince's 3-CD set is wildly uneven "

All,
I saw the following review on Yahoo http://news.yahoo.com/s/a...hTsA9xFb8C

Review: Prince's 3-CD set is wildly uneven

By JOSH L. DICKEY, AP Entertainment Writer Josh L. Dickey, Ap Entertainment Writer

Prince, "LOtUSFLOW3R"

Of the 31 tracks on Prince's new three-CD fire sale, only a handful will glint in the eyes of loyal fans who still sift his newer material for rare gems. To those awaiting a free sample on the radio, sorry you aren't going to get one this time around, either.

It's been 15 years since a Prince single cracked the Top 10 ("The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" charted No. 3 in 1994), and nothing from these three discs sounds in danger of breaking that streak.

The rare die-hard who understood "The Rainbow Children," Prince's wildly conceptual Jehova's Witnesses manifesto from 2001, may be able to translate the shifting language of "LOtUSFLOW3R," the central record in this effort. It's heavy and esoteric at times, jaunty and jammy at times, and highly indulgent all the time.

Thing is, if you're going to listen to someone indulge themselves in genre-bending psychedelia, it may as well be this guy.

The best track is "Boom," with its melody that descends like a dazzling meteor shower, ponderous slabs of wet bass crashing all around and light saber-buzz guitar to slice through it all. The song embodies the dark yet delicate surrealism of the new fan site that Prince helped design, lotusflow3r.com, from which "members" can download all three albums as part of a $77 annual subscription fee beginning Tuesday.

The deal includes a T-shirt, dibs on concert tickets, access to a vast archive of concert video footage and other digital geek-out goodies. (The three-CD set is being sold in its physical form exclusively at Target for a much more earthly $11.98.)

On another guitar-heavy highlight, "Dreamer," Prince unabashedly echoes Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Child" in fact, the better part of "LOtUSFLOW3R" careens around the edges of the bluesy, spacey trail that Jimi blazed. But its unevenness is its undoing; weird mumbling, random atmospherics, dissonant touches and an unnecessary cover of "Crimson and Clover" punch gaping holes in the cosmic seriousness with which the record takes itself.

Thank goodness, then, for "MPLSoUND," much of which may be the artist's greatest gift to fans in many years.

The disc starts out as an old-school romp that sounds as if Prince rolled up the rusted door of a warehouse behind Paisley Park, surveyed the dusty, vintage synth gear, and said to the posse behind him: "Fellas, let's make a funky record today."

The first few tracks could almost be mistaken for "Controversy" outtakes: You'll recognize the dry, flat pop of primitive electronic drums, campy whirl of analog keyboards and wild-eyed vocal stylings that ground an edge on Prince's early stuff. But sure enough, even "MPLSoUND" gets bogged down in throwaway slow-jams and shuffles that suck nearly all the fun energy from a promisingly rowdy start.

A third CD, entirely sung by new protege Bria Valente, is so lifeless and irrelevant as to hardly merit mention here. "Elixer" is a wholly forgettable trudge through generic R&B plodders that would drag down the most dynamic of singers; and Valente is not one. Her breathy whispers and naughty good looks, for that matter are more reminiscent of Ashley Alexandra Dupre than Apollonia.

The good news is that at $11.98 for all three, you can afford to rip the good tracks from "LOtUSFLOW3R" and "MPLSoUND" to your iPod, then use "Elixer" as a mirror to work on your air-guitar face. Because you're going to need it.

Last Night: Exclusive Press Preview of Prince's 3 New Albums, Plus Info on His 3 shows in 1 Night at L.A. LIVE

http://blogs.laweekly.com...-new-albu/

By Lina Lecaro in CD Reviews, Main, Upcoming

Prince fans rejoiced when it was announced that his royal highness would be putting out a budget-minded musical trifecta at Target -- three brand new CDs packaged together for only $11.98 -- but after hearing each album in its entirety last night at an exclusive press listening event, we're thinking the artist came a bit short of a bull's eye. There are some exhilarating exceptions, particularly off the funk-laced "old skool" style bumper called MPLSoUND, but those expecting to boogie or get revved for romance (two areas where Prince reigns) might be disappointed with the other two albums, LOtUSFLOW3r and Elixer (featuring his new protégé Bria Valente), both of which are more appropriate for smooth jazz stations like 94.7 The Wave (and elevators) than the fervor of the dance floor or bedroom.

LOtUSFLOW3r, which is also the name of Prince's trippy, new intergalactic-themed Web site, sees the artist immersing himself in gentle grooves, slinky-slick vox and psychedelic riffs. Cuts like "Boom," "Colonized Mind" and "Dreamer" have moments of otherworldly, instrumental genius that beg for headphones and a good buzz, but even after two glasses of wine (the gathering was at The Crown Bar) and fully preparing to take a journey, we felt like aliens in a strange land listening to his soundscapes. It's telling that the most beguiling cut on LOtUSFLOW3r is a cover: Prince's frothy-sweet take on "Crimson and Clover," which trades Joan Jett's edgy come-hither cover with a more tender seduction, infused by Hendrix's version of "Wild Thing" in the chorus. Jimi comes to mind a few times while listening to the new album, but this purple haze is too new-agey and esoteric. We wanted fire.

Elixer, featuring Valente, had a couple hot spots, but for the most part, it's also more about chilled tempos and languid rhythms. That can be a good thing when the vocals are emotive or distinct (think Sade), but Valente's smooth, airy -- admittedly pretty -- croons are more on the generic Janet Jackson tip. Unfortunately the material lacks the hooks or sexual tension of either of the above's hits. Which is surprising, especially if rumors about a relationship between Valente and Prince are true. Now that Prince is more religious, we're obviously not gonna get "Sex Shooter" or "Sugar Walls," but a couple of cuts here veer way too close to Disney animated soundtrack balladry. There is one very big hum(p)dinger, though, the infectious, techno-driven "2 Nite," a jam that recalls Vanity 6's freaky-femme anthem, "Nasty Girl" and Miss Jackson's sassiest. This one smolders and we can't wait to see what the remixers/DJs do with it on club decks.

Prince definitely saved the best for last, and the exuberant tunes on MPLSoUND (an acronym for "Minneapolis Sound") are absolutely worth the price of the entire CD trio. "There'll Never B Another Like Me," boasts the beats and bravado fans know and love, while "Chocolate Box" has a flirty fun "Controversy" feel with buoyant keyboards and soulful chants. "Valentina" and "Dance 4 Me" have a subtle sauciness and synth-driven stomp (plus more giddy guitar work) and "Ol' Skool Company" closes out the collection with a bang, channeling a P-Funk zest and party vibe that shows our Prince hasn't lost his bodaciousness. The only thing missing from MPLS (and all three discs), is the enticing falsetto that gave his early material, and a few later hits, so much mojo.

All three releases will be represented on the new website as different "worlds," where music can be downloaded from each (the recordings are only available at Target and via the site). A virtual playground and 3D visual feast, the site was developed with web gurus Scott Adison Clay and Anthony Malzone, and it seems very video game influenced. Clay was on hand for a preview surf-through last night, and while there were some glitches and some of the ways to acquire content were convoluted, it should appeal to tech-heads and Prince die-hards with exclusives including lyrics (not the on Target package), never before seen photos and even video footage dating back to the '70's. Members pay $77 for access, and the biggest perk is definitely advance info and preferred seats for Prince's live shows.

As was announced a few weeks ago, Prince will be playing three consecutive nights on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (March 25-27) and again on May 28, Leno's second to last show in the 11:30 time slot. Though Prince alluded to L.A. gigs in a mysterious message to fans earlier this month, info on the shows was just announced this morning. He'll be doing three sets in three different venues all in one night (!) on March 28, taking place at downtown's L.A. LIVE spots -- the Nokia Theatre, the Conga Room and Club Nokia -- all with different bands (which will surely save a lot on set-up time). Let's hope he mixes in material from the new recordings with old stuff and unexpected covers, like he did at his amazing post-Oscars bash.

Details on the multiple Saturday, March 28th concerts are as follows:

*Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE - Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
*Conga Room - Doors open at 8:00 p.m
*Club Nokia - Doors open at 11:30 p.m.

Tickets for each of the three performances are $77.00 plus applicable fees and service charges. Separate tickets for each venue are required for admittance. Prince will perform a full length concert at each venue. A two ticket limit per purchase will apply for the Conga Room and Club Nokia shows; a four ticket limit per purchase will apply for the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE show. Tickets go on-sale this Sunday, March 22nd at 12:00 p.m. (noon). Tickets are available online at www.ticketmaster.com, via Ticketmaster charge-by-phone lines at (213) 480-3232 or (714) 740-2000. Members of LotusFlow3r.com will also be able to get select premium seats beginning Tuesday, March 24th.

The Target 3-disc package will be in stores and available through Target.com, on March 29.

pensando en esto, es como si Prince leyera nuestras votaciones sobre quién ha sido el mejor batería que ha tocado con él o quién el mejor bajista, y se dijera (quitando la pareja sheila e/levi seacer y bobby z / brown mark): "los voy a sacar a todos y así me aseguro que todos están contentos" o "los saco a todos para verlos juntos y yo mismo salgo de dudas de con quién me va mejor".

Pq está claro que si hace alguna girilla llevarse a los 6 es un poco absurdo...

Hasta a los músicos les ponen a examen ;D
