Making short tracks is the best thing RDJ could have done. In a way he's put forward *another* challenge for everybody else - to make tracks that are non-repetitive. The ideas in the tracks are put across with complete clarity, with a real structure to them. Who would really want to hear a 7 minute version of INKEY$ or #18 Snare Rush? Who could cope with it? :-) On Now? Water Messages On Desert Sand - Musci/Venosta
