Was keen on getting the new Welt album but if it really is 30mins then this IS taking the piss a bit. I personally thought Cylobs new album was pretty short at 44 mins(I think) but it is also a product of our expectations. The gentle people single may have been 40 mins but this is fairly rare and in the past 15 mins would be normal. It is also worth bearing in mind that the concept of albums/eps and singles as distinct formats is made obsolete by the existence of cds which can hold 80mins - its just more money, even if it is nice to have unavailable material. Vinyl is the only format that these formats make sense on but i think that those prices are too high really and at the end of the day a scratch on vinyl is like a physical wound on your own body! So do I get Bochum or not? r
