so you reckon the aphex twin album is comparable to the james bond theme , the magic roundabout theme is 45 seconds-don't mean diddly squat though. I would have to say that the intellectial critique of the album has to come in to play because there is not enough substance in the music itself, my argument is not about the track lengths , but the fact that it seems we are being sold short with half an album.

for the people who are parting with their hard earned cash you know the people who have supported his music since day one , is he so arrogant that he could release an album of himself singing in the bath and expect us to buy it , i'd expect something more from a mature established artist. sm @ 4th world uk *cutting edge mail order* http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/4thworld/
