late morning thoughts for a wednesday afternoon. album length. why are they getting to be so short? i know there are people who don't have a problem with this, as long as there's thirty minutes of quality. to an extent, i agree, but i can hardly believe that richard james only has thirty minutes of quality stuff that he can put on a new album. and the bochum welt is only twenty-six minutes (i know this has already been mentioned...). why is full price being charged for stuff like this? it would be bad enough paying $15US for it, but since it's an import, i have to shell out $20. i don't mind spending $20 on an album (jake slaz, cylob [only 48 min, but fabulous... besides 48 isn't anywhere near as short as 30], red snapper), as long as i have some stuff to listen to. i'm sure i'll get the new aphex as soon as possible (i.e. not waiting for the US release) but i guess i'd be happier if there were more tracks or length or something. hopefully it will totally blow me away and i won't even notice that it's finished after a half an hour. i guess we'll see. hmm... that seems to be it for now, i guess. have a great day! alan! __ :::::/\ \:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::/ \ \::::::you make the mistake::::::::::: :::/ /\ \ \:::::you judge a man by his race:::: ::/ / /\ \ \::::you go through life:::::::::::: :/ / /__\_\ \:::with egg on your face:::::::::: / / /________\::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: \/___________/::::::::::-beastie boys::::::::::
