Includes liner notes by Jim Walsh.THE GOLD EXPERIENCE was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album, and "Eye Hate You" was nominated for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance."Don't worry about my name, it's too long to remember," he raps on "Now," a rockin' hip-hop dance number that also directs us to not think too hard about the past. OK, we'll take the bait. The name doesn't matter, the persona doesn't matter, the reputation doesn't matter. The female cyber-voice that shows up between several tracks on THE GOLD EXPERIENCE to narrate our trip through a faux-interactive world of various sensory experiences? Doesn't matter either.This is all about music--adventurously funky ensemble music with 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-chant beat 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 realized album what's-his-name has made in the NPG era.In keeping with that symbol of his, which combines maleness and femaleness, THE GOLD EXPERIENCE salutes a gender that, in the past, this same certain someone often asked to bow down and salute him. It finally puts the devotional 1994 pop ballad "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World" on a proper album. "P Control" pays respect to a strong, smart woman. And the album ends with "Gold," a soaring paean to personal growth and a rejection of nihilism in all its forms. This is Prince's gospel, and with its bright keyboard chords, acoustic-guitar rhythm and na-na-na ending, it may just be his "Hey Jude," too.

Report this review  Although now delisted make no mistake, this is superb.Review created: 06/09/07 by: In many respects Prince's feud with Warner Brothers ruined a lot of his creative output in the nineties. This album is one of the exceptions though, with catchy tunes, Gold, Sly, Dolphin etc and the massive hit 'The Most beautiful Girl in the World'. No Prince collection is complete without this. Essential. Review ID: 10000000004327882 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review of Prince - The Gold ExperianceThis album is another example of the genius that is Prince.

Report this review Proof the purple wonder was still on fire in the 90sI am an avid Prince fan and would buy anything with his name on it. However, i am honest about his work, and when i say this is an excellant album i mean it! Although not completely flawless, it is arguably is most consistent album of the 90s. The album begins with P Control which features crazy synths and some witty, funny lyrics. From here onwards the ablum has a raw, rocky and funky feel. Highlights include the amazing 'eye hate you' which contains great vocals and lyrics, the rocker 'endorphinemachine', the interesting 'shy' and also the massive single 'the most beautiful girl in the world' The absolute best track for me personally however is 'shhh'. The guitar, drums and vocals of this song are out of this world. Its also one of his highlights live Buy this album - i promise u wont regret it! Review ID: 10000000003112125 Was this review helpful?
