Sorry - I have to defend the Snapper. I reckon "Prince Blimey"'s an awesome album. Ignore the fact some ppl said they were jazz. It's good to see bands embracing technology, especially with these results. Your mileage may vary. Cheers, Jon

agreed. prince blimey is super, and although not quite as good, making bones has its moments. spitalfields for instance is just a great song, as well as four dead monks (although i like the demo version on wap100 better - more raw, more emotional). they're definitely an act that i get excited to hear new releases from. alan np:sqpr:portrhombus

I agree. The album is at a perfect length. However, I do know that there is a lot of material from the stay down sessions that was never released. There was talk on the swordsman list that tls may release these tracks as mp3's or something. Beyond that bag of blue sparks wouldn't really fit in with the style of stay down. -daniel

They'll probably squeeze some of the Blue Sparks EP on there. G.

I'm curious if many listmembers consider a 45 minute album too short by definition, or if 35-45 minutes can be just the right length sometimes. It used to be that 45 minutes was pretty long for an album. Some CDs overstay their welcome IMO. What do you think? I remember the fuss over the RDJ album, though as I remember that one is more like 30 minutes (not including "Boy/Girl"). --Mark __ Burning Rome : SENSELESS CD on Mindfield Records MindCD03 Cathartium 14 > Distributed by Dutch East India Trading, Com Four, and Carrot Top < < http://www.xnet.com/~mkolmar/BurningRome > < MP3 & RealAudio tracks >

the first "idm" CD i bought was the orb's orbvs terrarvm, and when it came up as 79+ minutes, i was like "wow... more bang for the buck!" and then i got afx's "i care", which is less than 70, and although not disappointed (at all... far better than orbvs in my opine), i was like "hmmm... how come not 70+?" i remember the debate about the rdj album. at first i thought it sucked that it was so short, but now i'm glad i have the UK version, because i don't like hearing the boy/girl ep right after. even at 33 minutes, it's a very complete album. hell, what about bochum welt's "module 2". what's that? 28 minutes or something, i think. but based on two ep's i've heard from him, i'm happy to lay out $26 to get the japanese version (w/desktop robotics). i can't wait to hear it. as for the TLS album, i think the length is great. it's complete. i've actually found myself starting to roll my eyes when i see something that's over 70 minutes. like plug's drum 'n bass for papa. i just can not get into it. too long. and the tracks are too long. tooooo much activity. i like albums that are really active to either be shorter or have a lot of songs of shorter length. a good example of this: mu-ziq's urmur bile trax 8 tracks, 67 minutes. boring. mu-ziq's lunatic harness 13 tracks, 71 minutes. great album. i'm done thinking for now. alan!
