The Very Best of Prince (2001) |
Rave In2 the Joy Fantastic is a remixed version of (formerly known as Prince)'s Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic 1999 album. It was released via mail exclusively through the NPG Music Club, an Internet subscription service, on 29 April 2000.
The album makes a number of alterations to its predecessor. Five tracks (“Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic”, “Undisputed (The Moneyappolis Mix)”, “The Greatest Romance Ever Sold”, “Hot Wit U (Nasty Girl Remix)” and “Man ‘O’ War (Remix)”) have been remixed or had substantial musical elements added. Seven tracks (“So Far, So Pleased,” “Eye Love U, But Eye Don’t Trust U Anymore,” “Silly Game,” “Whatever U Do, Wherever U Go", "The Sun, The Moon And Stars”, “Tangerine” and “Prettyman”) are mostly unchanged, save for slightly longer fade-outs or extended pieces of music. Lastly, two tracks, "Strange but True" and "Everyday Is A Winding Road", have been removed and replaced by the moody "Beautiful Strange", a previously unreleased track written in 1998.
As it was released via the fan-centric NPG Music Club, the album received virtually no attention from wider media. However, with several improved songs, the removal of two weaker tracks, and the addition of "Beautiful Strange", one of the album's highlights, fans generally consider Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic to be superior to its predecessor.
