I've just put on Ninja Cuts Funkjazztical Tricknology, which has a total of 79:38 mins. That's surely packed to the gills :-) And apparently there now are 80-min CD-R's on the market too. Yes, I do feel shortchanged when a modern-day release has a microscopical running time - it's understandable when re-issues of previous vinyl only releases have an under 40-min total. Somehow I don't buy the argument that as a work of art, it's as long as it is - as long as it should be.. Blah. Give us your outtakes - we've got the choice to skip and fast forward.

Gotta disagree on this one, I'm afraid. I love Aphex's RDJ album, for example, partly because it never loses focus. It's a great package. Bill -- Sigma6 Interactive Media / http://www.sigma6.com dj marathon: "fibre" up now @ http://www.flatplastic.com/
