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.
