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::::::::::

I suspect it's just a pendulum swing / abreaction to all of those interminable double-cd things that were so hip two or three years ago. Think about song lengths and operating in the sphere as, oh, skirt lengths and you'll probably be on the right track. The line between IDM artists and Spinal Tap is sometimes perilously thin... :) -d.w.
