This comes up once in a while in various forms and guises, so I'm sorry if this really bugs some of you. What tracks do you people think just seem to be the wrong length? Like, it was so good it should be longer, or it just feels like it ended too soon. Or, it should be shorter for some opposite reasoning... Here are the few I've noticed that prompted me to write this: Autechre "krib" from cichlisuite; this should be longer. It's gorgeous and they just stop it too soon. Bogdan Raczynski "Pierwsze kroki" (track 6) from the new EP; I can't decide if the short, wrong-note cut-off is artful genious or just damn annoying. Autechre "lentic catechresis" from confield; too long. Excellent album-closing effect, until it just keeps going and going... Autechre "all tomorrow's linoleum" from the all tomorrow's parties 1.0 comp; not to pick on AE, I've just been listening to them a lot lately. Anyways, I like this track, but it seems roughly cut at the end. Just a little longer would feel better to me. Proem "boring alice" from Aurora comp; gorgeous track, too short, though maybe it would be less gorgeous if it were longer. Why am I sending this in? It'll only bring me flames... -Adam __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!
