New tribute album 2 Prince!
Various Artist:
"If I was Prince"
"If I was Prince", Beggars Banquet/Rex Records,
Cat.-No. REKDCD 142, 2001
Album cover, release date: 10/23/2001, 01/22/2002
01. "Sexy Dancer" - 7 Hurtz With Peaches + Bitch Lap Lap
02. "Annie Christian" - Fort Lauderdale
03. "If I was your girlfriend" - Op:1 Bastards
04. "Dance on" - Capitol K
05. "Under the Cherry Moon" - Simian
06. "The ballad of Dorothy Parker" - Broadway Project feat. Jeb Loy Nichols
07. "Controversy" - Hefner
08. "Alphabet street" - Blue States
09. "The most beautiful girl in the world" - Bronze Age Fox
10. "The beautiful ones" - Misty Dixon
as 10 underground electronic artists testify on this tribute album. Downbeat,
funky, electronic mishmash is the norm, an approach with mixed results (no
one should have touched "Alphabet Street" or bothered with "The Most Beautiful
Girl in the World"). Highlights? Toronto-via-Berlin electro-fucker Peaches
(and friends) get down nicely on "Sexy Dancer," while OP:1 Bastards draw a cool
groove from "If I Was Your Girlfriend," and newcomers Misty Dixon (fronted by
Prince's antithesis, a six-foot white woman) take on "The Beautiful Ones" with
trippy delicacy."
