Re: [microsound] Re: How long should a "digital" album be



How long should a 'digital' album be? As long as it takes to get your ideas across. Personally, I'd rather listen to a short lp with a few really good ideas, than a 70min cd or mp3 lps that are composed of a lot of filler. A really good compilation goes a long way for me these days. Very few artists have gone past the 2hr mark with much success, which doesnt mean it shouldnt be done. The 'digital' format, or more to the point, the 'digital' distribution network frees up time constraints, but might put more of a demand on the artist to produce something worth listening to.

 I listen to the Zeena Parkins and Ikue Mori disc that came out 
a few
months ago (somewhere in the mid 30min range if I remember right) and I 
am
left wanting more.  I like feeling that desire.
