Parade is one of his best albums ever and Mountains is a terrific song. The 12" inch is great and I remember the time it came out this stuff sounded different than anything else on the charts. One of the things that made Parade stand out was the brass...and the Mountains 12" has some great brass work. I love it. | |

That may be the the best picture of Prince I've ever seen! Personally . I think we are all Boring with No Lives cause all we do is talk about Prince,Criticize and Gossip. I need a Horny Man is what I Need and probably so do most of yas. We are Sexually Frustrated what we R... Amen..!!! - zelaire | |

[Edited 2/14/07 14:09pm] Adoring 100%. God doesn't just tells me how much he "LOVE's" me, God shows me how much he "LOVE's" me. Both telling and showing "LOVE" means to "LOVE". They go hand in hand. You can't have one with out the other. Something is spoken, then followed by an action. That is | |

I totally agree. God doesn't just tells me how much he "LOVE's" me, God shows me how much he "LOVE's" me. Both telling and showing "LOVE" means to "LOVE". They go hand in hand. You can't have one with out the other. Something is spoken, then followed by an action. That is | |

Haha, rather true actually... Mountains (along with Sometimes It Snows In April) is pretty much straight out of the same mold as their first album, just with a few Princely tweaks. [Edited 2/15/07 11:16am] |

So I assumed that Prince did the music while Wendy and Lisa did the lyrics? | |

No... the music is W&L's. As is the case with Power Fantastic and Sometimes It Snow In April. If you listen to their first album, the family resemblance is unmistakable. |

As some others here said, the 12-inch version of Mountains is splendid.
When i first heard this version, my jaw almost fall open about all the energy, creativity and swing it contained. Next to the title track from Lovesexy probably the most mindblowing 'listening-experience' Prince ever put unto record. | |

And to react on the Wendy and Lisa thing i think this song (and definitely also the 12-inch version) is first and foremost a BAND effort.
Maybe Wendy and Lisa did write the basic track, but the end result sounds more raw and edgy then anything on a Wendy and Lisa record (my main complaint about them: good musicians, good singer-songwriters, but they sound often to bland and safe on their own records). That last aspect shows Prince recording ethics. Next to that the horn parts are obviously a result of the input off Eric Leeds and Matt Blistan. And dont forget those drums still sound very Bobby Z-ish. To conclude, Wendy and Lisa might have written this song, the final result is a song by Prince AND the Revolution. | |
