Come, The Gold Experience & Chaos and Disorder
Come, The Gold Experience and Chaos and Disorder are Prince’s fifteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth albums (The Gold Experience and Chaos and Disorder are credited to Symbol). The sessions for these three albums overlap and can be considered a single era.
The albums feature a mixture of styles, including hard rock, hip-hop, industrial and techno alongside funk and R&B. Tying these sessions together are contributions from the New Power Generation, who appear on nineteen tracks spread across the three albums.
In this era, there were two short tours, The Ultimate Live Experience and Japan '96, alongside numerous television appearances, one-off performances and aftershows.
