I have brand new copies of both, but I won't open them. Glad I did save those to my computer - especially Parade. (I keep saying I'm gonna copy everything and never did) One of these days, I'm really gonna hate myself for not doing it earlier.
Wish I were a real computer buff to "fix" some of my files.

You know if my CD copies of ATWIAD and Parade weren't so sh*tty, I'd probably listen to them more often. <Moderator:I would hurt someone for a few remasters. I took it upon myself to "fix" Purple Rain and Sign O time with Sound Forge a few years back.

You just warm up to it because you become accustomed to listening to it. Imo, a great song is something that moves you on your first listen. If I have to listen to over and over again and then decide how i feel about it, then the song isn't doing it's job. I've listened to it about 3 times already and I'm not feeling it. It's often hard to digest a new Prince album because you know what he's capable of and we get these half-baked efforts in 3121 and PE. that album right away. Now its one of my favorites. Especially after I started learning more about music. Then I started to really understand it as a whole -Derek> loven happiness wrote: Well, now THAT I disagree with. Just because something doesn't move you on first listen doesn't mean that at another time you can't appreciate its genius. Some of my favorites totally missed me on first listen. (In fact, I'm already liking Mr. Goodnight :)) Then of course, there are others (like the entire RBC album) that continue to miss me completely. I think the same sort of thing can be said for books, movies and music by other artists. Sometimes, you just have to be ready for something to move you. appreciate it. A lot of the tracks translated better live then on the album. I guess there is a time and place for everything -Derek> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- NewPowerNewYork Mailing List website: Www.NPNY.Org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe?
