    Lotusflow3r has Prince channeling his Hendrix spirit guide on a cover of 'Crimson & Clover' shot through with riffs from 'Wild Thing;' on 'Wall of Berlin' and 'Dreamer,' he squeezes the Jimi out of his guitar until you can almost see the hologram.

    The drawback is that when he isn't playing guitar, the music on this disc is oddly muted.
  3. All Music Guide
    60
    LotusFlow3r is constrained by its guitar-heavy concept, offering great moments instead of great whole songs.

    Lotusflow3r is spectacular concepualisation. xperimental, diverse musical styles whilst managing to be cohesive. Guitar work is fantastic, as is all instrumentation. If, like me you hoped for as less over - produced sound you wont be disappointed! The way all tracks blend together wotks well here. Mnplsound - wow..some Prince magic here - ol skool, fun, eclectic. Prince back to the sound he emerged from. Elixer - as protoges go Bria maybe takes 2nd place to Jill Jones. But average singing aside, no mistaking Prince is all over this, the writing/ producing/ playing and even vocals. If you like chilled out- which you n=might after the last 2 offerings - then this is cool. Not sensational but good nonetheless. And, yes, itwould appear that the title track is a play on words...dirty Prince is back! This 3 set is gonna become a prince classic i reckon.… Expand
