Hello.
I certainly don't object to the length of some of the latest Warp &
Rephlex releases (Bochum Welt, Aphex Twin, etc...around the 30 minute
mark) - we all know that quantity is no guarantee of quality. In
fact, I'd *rather* have a short CD of excellent tracks, than a long
one with lots of filler. But...
One thing I do object to, is the price. 13 UK Pounds for a release of
this length is hard to justify - even on damn good music (and that's
in the cheapest shop - elsewhere it's more like 14, 15...)
I'm not *made* of trousers !
A recent example of how things *should* work, is when WARP put out
the RAC "Diversions" CD (over 45 minutes) at mid-price (around 7
Pounds). Rephlex did the same with the Chimera CD, I believe.
There was nothing wrong with the quality of these releases - in fact
both are top drawer stuff. Why can't it happen more often ?
Anyway, just my opinion.
