|introduction = '''Cape Horn''' is the fifth track on [[Eric Leeds]] | |introduction = '''Cape Horn''' is the fifth track on [[Eric Leeds]]’ first album [[Album: Times Squared|Times Squared]] (on the CD release, fourth track on other formats). The track was written by [[Prince]] and produced by [[Prince]] and [[Eric Leeds]]. | ||
Basic tracking took place on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June_26|26 June 1988]], during a one-day session between [[Prince]], [[Sheila E.]], ostensibly for a projected album by [[Madhouse]]. At this point the song was listed as '''Instrumental IV''' a.k.a. '''20'''. | |||
This track was one of ten selected, | The number 20 was seemingly just associated to it as a logical continuation following 1-8 and 9-16 on Madhouse’s first two albums. It is however otherwise completely unrelated to the song [[20 (A Girl And Her Puppy)]] recorded later in 1988. | ||
Today’s session also yielded [[Uno]] (a.k.a. “Instrumental I” a.k.a. "17”), [[Dos]] a.k.a “Instrumental II” a.k.a “18” and [[Tres]] (a.k.a. “Instrumental III” a.k.a. “19”). It is unknown if this track or any other one from this session was seriously considered for the planned third [[Madhouse]] album, later known as [[Album: 24 (1989)|24]]. When work on that projected album continued in December 1988, new songs were recorded using the titles [[17 (Penetration)]], [[18 (R U Legal Yet?)]], [[19 (Jailbait)]] and [[20 (A Girl And Her Puppy)]]. | |||
Unlike the other three tracks from today’s session, [[Eric Leeds]] did record a horn-part over it in a session the next day. In July 1989 [[Prince]] asked [[Eric Leeds]] to compile tracks from the vault for a third [[Madhouse]] album, which [[Eric Leeds|Leeds]] then worked on in August and September 1989, selecting tracks and overdubbing on this and other songs. | |||
This track was one of ten selected and, in keeping with previous [[Madhouse]] releases, tracks were given tentative numerical titles of [[Andorra|17]] to [[Once Upon A Time|26]] (the album would be titled [[Album: Times Squared|26]]) — this track was known as '''20''' since its conception in June 1988 and was therefore placed as the fourth track on the sequence at the time. When [[Prince]] suggested the album should be released as a solo album by [[Eric Leeds]],[[Eric Leeds|Leeds]] came up with titles for each track, in Spring 1990; this track became known as '''Cape Horn''' and the album became known as [[Album: Times Squared|Times Squared]]. | |||

*Starting with [[Album: Times Squared|Times Squared]], each of [[Eric Leeds]]' solo albums released under his own name would include an instrumental whose title is the name of a place of the American continents: [[Cape Horn]] and [[Little Rock]] on [[Album: Times Squared|Times Squared]], ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isla_Mujeres Isla Mujeres]'' and [[Aguadilla]] (inspired by [[Desire]]) on ''Things Left Unsaid'' released on [[Paisley Park Records]] in 1993, and [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%ADo_Diamante Rio Diamante] on ''Now & Again'' released independently in 2000.
