That's about average for a single album mate - remember them, they do still exist. I think it's worth every penny. It is a complete album, plenty of jazz & pop albums are under 30 minutes, and Gianluigi took just as much time over it. I could have added fillers, but then it wouldn't be such a wicked album. Try looking at it like a complete painting - size is not the only factor. using a mock up basic programme.. It's real. Try it out on your VIC. not on mate. Honestly, you people are out there waiting, dying to complain. How can you say this album is a rip-off! (PS thanks Rob for your support!)

Oh yes it is - strictly. Look it up. 25 mins is the dividing line between singles and albums. Journey was several remixes of a theme - Module 2 is an album. Prince's first 4 albums are all under or around 30 minutes and he did OK. It's not really worth me ranting on - why not go and buy a complete load of bollocks, stereotypical techno-shite 12" for £7.25 and save 3 quid. Later.
