| − | |introduction = '''Nine | + | |introduction = '''Nine''' is the first track on [[Madhouse]]’s second and final album [[Album: 16|16]]. The Track was written and performed by [[Prince]] (credited as [[Madhouse]]), with saxophone by [[Eric Leeds]]. |
| + | While specific recording dates are not known, basic tracks were recorded in March 1987 at [[Prince]]’s [[Galpin Blvd Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota. With the exception of [[Sixteen]], the rest of the album was recorded in late July and early August 1987. | ||
| − | + | The track contains interpolations of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphemia_Allen Euphemia Allen]’s 1877 piano composition [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chopsticks_(music) Chopsticks] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Rodgers Richard Rodgers]’ and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Hammerstein_II Oscar Hammerstein II]’s 1959 composition [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_of_Music_(song) The Sound Of Music] (originally from the stage musical [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_of_Music The Sound Of Music]), as well as opening with Sequential Circuits Prophet VS, FILMUSIC (patch 69) pre-set synth, previously used on [[U Got The Look]], [[Make Your Mama Happy]], [[Eight]] and [[The Cocoa Boys]]. | |
| − | + | Confusingly, the track [[Six And 1/2|Six And ½]], recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/October 8|8 October 1986]], was originally recorded as ''Nine'', logically following the last recorded [[Madhouse]] track [[Eight]]. When that was chosen to serve as b-side for the single [[Single: 6|6]] it was dubbed [[Six And 1/2|Six And ½]]. [[Prince]] (possibly with [[Eric Leeds]]) at that point recorded another song titled [[Nine-1|Nine]], but that remains unreleased and is different from this song from March 1987. | |
| − | + | To stay with the numeric logicality this first song for the follow-up [[Madhouse]] album again was titled '''Nine''' as no song with a title as such was yet released. | |

It was one of the preset samples in the Fairlight CMI sample-synthesizer and [[Prince]] took it from there. It was utilized in quite a few songs recorded between 1985 and 1987: [[All My Dreams]], [[Bob George]], [[Christopher Tracy’s Parade]], [[Lovesexy]], and [[Madhouse]] songs [[Nine]] and [[Six|6 (The End Of The World Mix)]] all contain this sample. |
