Xpectation is an album by Prince only available for npgmusicclub members on his website. The album was made available January 1, 2003 and all the songs are instrumentals. The album was originally intended to be called Xenophobia, and the music club had previously advertised the album as one of the "4 CDs" club members would receive in the mail during 2002 for their paid $100 subscription fee. All nine of the tracks start with "X", using Prince's trademark of abbreviating song titles and lyrics with letters, numbers or symbols. The album is one of Prince's most sophisticated jazz compositions, far outstripping the musical depth of the various incarnations of the Madhouse project. This is largely because the album was mostly composed in conjunction with one of his best band configurations - the core of the "One Night Alone" group, including Candy Dulfer (sax), John Blackwell (drums) and Rhonda Smith (bass). The band is also joined by classical violinist Vanessa-Mae - whose playing adds a new layer of depth. This item purchased in the EU. Very rare to find with all artwork included. A must for any Prince fan. Track listing: 1."Xhalation" 2."Xcogitate" 3."Xemplify" 4."Xpectation" 5."Xotica" 6."Xogenous" 7."Xpand" 8."Xosphere" 9."Xpedition" all sales final - inquiries welcome
