Prince Lotus Flower

Lotusflow3r.com was officially launched on March 24, at 7:07 p.m. PST, to replace 3121.com and to promote the triple release Lotusflow3r/MPLSound/Elixer in March 2009. Its access was limited to subscribers for a $77.00 admission fee. The website environment was that of a galaxy, featuring several 'planets'.

The website came as a main page referred as 'the bomb', forecasting an environment of rocks, on which a television, newspapers, a ticket stub and a stereo were set. Newcomers had to search for clues of the passwords to be entered in the ticket stub before they could subscribe to the site. Returning customers had to click on the same stub to twirl it into login mode and get access to the site’s content. Once access was granted, the site loaded a heavy flash file that took the visitor to an overall view of the galaxy before a focus was made on the center item: Lotusflow3r.

So around the time PRINCE was making 3121: The Music, he was also making 3121: The Movie.which never saw the light of day.until now. It’s on Cameron Pearce’s page although a majority of the movie was shot by Sanna Hamri. The movie was renamed “Lotus Flower” and was to be released on the website LotusFlow3r.com back in April of 2009. Lotus Flower The lotus flower starts as a small flower down at the bottom of a pond in the mud and muck. It slowly grows up towards the waters surface continually moving towards the light. Once it come to the surface of the water the lotus flower begins to blossom and turn into a beautiful flower. Out of the three, the album Lotus Flower is brilliant:Crimson and Flower, Colonized Mind and 77 Beverley Park (an instrumental.) all have five stars on my playlist. Colonized Mind is an overall favourite, even if that's one where Prince 'tells us something' which can be a tad eyebrow rising on occasion. Left to his own devices, Prince will indulge in his peculiar vice of releasing triple-albums. He celebrated his freedom from Warner with Emancipation, following that with another triple-disc in Crystal Ball, which just happened to be the provisional title of the scrapped three-LP iteration of 1987's Sign o' the Times, he had a triple-live set in 2002, and now he's navigating the rough waters.

Content

The following content was released through the website.

Lotusflow3r

Lotusflow3r came in the shape of a futuristic scene featuring a smoke surrounded sphere crowned by lotus flower petals. The sphere was topped by flame effects evolving around a needle, or ray of light that loosened itself in the purple skies. It floated on a river/lake that meandered into a fall. On the left side were 2 pyramids, on the right 2 large rocks. In the far distance skyscrapers, backed by spaceships taking off were seen.</div>

The initial section opened by a click on the skyscrapers. It featured 3 new sections:

MPLSound

MPLSound was located on the right of Lotusflow3r. It pictured a river flowing between two rocks on which 3 CD disc stood surrounded by clouds and a big flower (on the left). Floating in the air were two jellyfish, a pink one on the right and a blue one on the upper left next to a goldfish. 7 doves as well as a swan with a 1/4' TRS mono jack plug instead of a head completed the scene.
Access to the planet content was gained by clicking on the swan, that would fly to the next rock and plugged into a socket. Then both CDs made way for a sonic blue Fender Stratocaster guitar that played when the mouse was moved over its fretboard. It was backed by skyscrapers (one having the form of a synthesizer) in between which a zeppelin cruised, while the purple skies featured flashes of lightening. On the right rock, an 8-track mixing board was placed, while another synthesizer resided in the river.

03 Apr Unreleased PRINCE Movie Trailer Leaks!~

So around the time PRINCE was making 3121: The Music, he was also making 3121: The Movie…..which never saw the light of day…..until now.

It’s on Cameron Pearce’s page although a majority of the movie was shot by Sanna Hamri.

The movie was renamed “Lotus Flower” and was to be released on the website LotusFlow3r.com back in April of 2009. Before the site went live however, the movie was taken off the site.

The Doc saw something close to the final cut before, but the footage of the song “Guitar” was added along with a different shot of the video “3121” and added were the shots of him walking the streets of Los Angeles.
