Yahoo? Considering how overlong both 'Throbbing Pouch' and 'Drum and Bass for Papa' are, I hardly think the fact that his next record will be twice as long is cause for celebration. 'Throbbing Pouch' ends with all those throwaway tracks that rehash material from the first half of the album, while everything on 'Drum and Bass for Papa' runs long, but this is particularly true of the last few tracks, which aren't as strong as some tracks that precede them and don't really justify their own length ("Maker of All" would be a nice closer if it were about a third as long). The primary thing I think Vibert needs to work on is the conclusions of his records. He's not going to improve or get anymore disciplined about this by recording two-hour-plus extravaganzas for James Lavelle.
