Prince - Emancipation CD

 "His Royal Baddness Strikes Again!"
"Emancipation"...Well, this is certainly not a 'new' album, although I have to admit, that I've just purchased a copy (6 months ago, give or take) so this album is still 'new' to me. I followed Prince's career from "For You" to "The Gold Experience" and for some (unknown) reason, I didn't think it was necessary to follow Prince any further (the idea that he could possibly top TGE was to absurd to entertain). I couldn't have been more wrong...Prince is now and forever shall be Prince! This 3 CD Masterpiece (can't think of another word to describe this album) is further proof and testament to the reason that this man is called "The Artist". "Jam Of The Year", "White Mansion", "Right Back Here In My Arms", "Sex In The Summer", "Emale", "One Kiss At A Time", "Style", "My Computer", "La La Means I Love You", "Betcha By Golly Wow", "I Can't Make You Love Me" and the title track "Emancipation" are some of my favorites, but in all honesty I actually like every one of the 36 tracks that make-up this extrodinary piece of work. If you are a Prince fan (as am I) you probably already have this album...But if you don't, well, you can guess what I'm about to say next, so I won't bother.

 one of his greatest works
I first received my own copy in feburary of 1998 thinking it was a bunch of his remakes until i noticed it was new material. All 3 cds are brilliant, but the cd 1 is the best. the tracks on the first cd i absoluty would play whenever i listen to this cd is tracks 1, 2, 3, 8, 10, 11, and 12, on the first cd. what i love about this cd is the hip-hop flavor infused into this cd with the other styles of music prince plays. the beats and music on songs like "mr. happy", "right back here in my arms", "da da da" and "face down" are all greatly hip-hop oriented and the smooth R&B tracks like "i can't make you love me", "somebody's somebody", "friend-mother-sister-lover-wife" and "one kiss at a time" are brilliantly well made. this is one cd that i will always enjoy for the ages whenever i listen to it, the artwork are beautifuly organized and well put together. Overall this is one cd all true prince fans would really want to have in their prince collection.

 Prince - Breaking Through
As a lifetime fan and supporter of Lord Rogers Nelson; aka Prince, I'm pleased, but not surprised by the awesome content of this 3-disc collection of Prince compositions. Prince once said that he maintains a personal Musical Track library of over 25,000 completed songs that he's 100% written, performed, directed and produced, so unlike any other musical star, Prince "releases" various tracks from his vast library to support what's happening in his life at that time to compile material to release a new disc. Emancipation is in my opinion, the most complete example of his continued brilliance. It's the best of any CD released from Prince's long and prosperous career!
