Francois Dion said once upon a time:

Since it is so rare that I hear tracks of this type on the radio, I prefer the
"almost full" when I'm listening to stuff off the radio. If I wanted to hear
mixed, I'd go to a club or a rave, but when I hear something for the first
time, I like to soak in the whole thing. The "almost" just makes things flow
a little nicer.
Of course, what I really like is when the radio "I wish I was a celebrity" DJ
talks through most of the intro to a vocal song then jumps out right before
the artist starts singing. If this method was applied to IDM, our favorite
DJ's would be able to talk through the WHOLE SONG!
