March 29, 2004: The Slaughterhouse

(Trax from the NPG Music Club Volume 2) marks the thirtieth studio album by Prince, released by NPG Records. It was initially available as MP3 downloads through his website, NPG Music Club. The album's name is derived from the opening line of the track "Silicon": "Welcome 2 the slaughterhouse." The songs include material originally accessible on the website in 2001, though some tracks may feature rearranged music and/or lyrics. "2045: Radical Man" appeared on the soundtrack for Spike Lee's film Bamboozled in 2001. The tracks "Peace" and "The Daisy Chain" were issued as limited edition CD singles during Prince's 2001 Hit n Run Tour. In 2015, the album was released on the Tidal music service and became available on other online platforms like Spotify and the iTunes Store in 2018.
