well.....I am glad that someone has
realized that listening to a 74min.
Autechre album from top to end is an
impossible task (without starting
skipping after track 5) .
With all the respect I have for Autechre (
just the most clear example)
their album are far too long , and I am
more than happy that some artists
are keeping it on a reasonable lenght
that will possibly allow us to
listen to their LP all the way through.
And maybe , like in the old times,
even play the entire thing again .
If you then think that an album has to be
value for money, I would think
more about the quality of it rather then
the "amount" of music it contains.
Well of course quality mut prevail over quantity although I guess that,
thankfully, some people are able to concentrate on music more than half
an album of Autechre. I wouldn't use "reasonable length" because when I
like a record I lose the notion of time and the longer the better.
