CD Description
This is all about music--adventurously funky ensemble musicwith a tighter-than-ever New Power Generation, psychedelically poppy studio music from within the man's ever-scheming head. Hip-hop-styled beats boom ("Now" has a grandstand-chantbeat that Naughty By Nature would love), space-age keyboards squiggle (through big-beat numbers like "P Control"), and fuzz guitars grind out super-funky rhythms (like "Shy", which pays a debt to Sly Stone). Meanwhile, the man himself stretches his supple voice like an elastic band around falsetto soul, psychedelic rock and enough playful raps to convince you he finally actually believes in the stuff, making THE GOLD EXPERIENCE the most musically realised album Prince has made in the NPG era.

Customer Reviews

THE UNFAITHFUL XPERIENCE (ALL THAT GLITTERS AIN'T GOLD)
This is probably the best album by Prince in 90's, some songs like "Dolphin" are from that kind of tunes u won't forget in your whole life even when it's your first time listening to them. Can't tell u what it is but there's something inside the tracks of The Gold Experience Album. There's much love behind "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World", Funk gets wild in "P-Control", "Now" and "Billy Jack Bitch" (by the way listen to the final hornz on this one). Rock And Roll Is Alive and the proof is behind the screams in "Endorphinmachine" and "319" and finally the passion melts with the spiritual guitars on "Shhh" and "I Hate U" (this one is probably the most passioned musical breakdown in a couple) creating a very comfortable atmosphere with a very strange mixture between passionate love and wild funk. The funny thing is that after listening to "I Hate U", the last track but one in the album, u think that u've listened to everything but u're wrong, "Gold" is left and it's THE MOST INCREDIBLE PRINCE'S SONG IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, just think that Prince himself compared this song to Purple Rain, the only thing I can use to describe it is LOVE IN HIS HIGHEST EXPRESSION. Unfortunately WB is no longer printing this album, the reasons? don't know, but that's an unfaithful experience, maybe one of Prince's greatest creations in his whole career. If you have a chance to get this CD, don't hesitate, buy it even when you think it's too expensive, I promise that you won't regret it. Peace And Be Wild.

No downers on this album...
I'd say that this album is probably Prince's best album yet. You see the problem with this guy is that he uses so many different musical styles within one album, that sometimes they make for difficult listening. Well, gone are the days where we have to program our CD players to skip dodgy little segue's and so-called "experimental songs" - this album delivers classic after classic culminating after sixy-odd minutes in every lay-man's favourite, "Gold".

Slip this into your CD player, sit back and watch time fly as you are treated to a lesson in variety and mould-breaking genius. GO GET IT or indeed buy it for a skeptical friend, and even they'll begin to understand your passion for the purple one!

Standout tracks - all of them...and I'm being serious momma.

A classic....all that a Prince fan could ask for!
From the opening funk of Pussy Control to the screaming guitar of the final track Gold, the man has us under his spell. This is a fine album let there be no doubt! With instant classics like the stomping Endorphinemachine, the elegant The Most Beautiful Girl In The World (remixed version), the heartbreaking Dolphin and the acoustic guitar led Shy, The Artist reaffirms his genius. This album is probably his most accomplished since 1988's Lovesexy, and certainly on this form there is no denying the fact that this man still has a lot to offer. A worthy addition to your Prince collection!
