I'm not trying to come off as "pretentious art guy", but I think that
alot of the BoC stuff is a perfect example of less being more. I must
admit that I found the short track times to be a welcome change from what
seems to be the default idm track length of approximately 6
minutes. There's more emotion and intensity in those 45 second thingies
than alot of 7-13 minute tracks out there.
I'm not saying "I'm right, you're wrong" by any means, I'm just offering
my opinion cause I was out late watching Bullfrog/Kid Koala last night and
I don't feel like working just yet.
I sold my soul for rock and roll.
