I used this example as a simple analogy. Music is rather abstract in
the messages it can convey. Your point is understood i.e taking an
album as a whole rather than seperate parts as an EP. And yet again I
can use the same analogy, EPs made up of short stories and an album
made up of chapters to form a whole.

Alternative forms of distribution? Perhaps we can transmit directly
to the brain some how:) No, please, this sounds interesting do you
have any suggestions?
