interesting
I agree that longer tracks dominate the air - in that respect there needs to be some guidelines. I'm OK with that.
The Discipline track is just an uncorrected blip. There are only four songs on the record, and I wouldn't say anything if it was a band with lot of music on AM, but they only have three CD's (one live), only one CD is presently on AM. The split in the song (it's either Before the Storm or Into The Dream) is bad, it splits it into two parts that depend on the other. It's one song.
I would have said that stuff like Thick As A Brick is too long, but we don't want an "edit # 2" situation.
I do like the way "Garden of Dreams" on Flowerpower was split. It is an hour tune, but is separately tracked, and is good spilt up the way it is here.
There was a Greg Howard (SP?, it was a bass player) who had a 60 minute instrumental song played (about being on the moon I think). Too long, but technically one song.
That being said, I can't fathom why the Wall or the Lamb (and to a lesser extent (Snow Goose) were even one side at one time. Each track is DIFFERENT and marked separately. Just become it's the same theme doesn't mean it's the same song. Go put it on at home, then. Ted Nugent signs about women all of the time but you don't play it all together.
A theme is not an excuse to mix tunes together. I can come up with at least 40-50 examples of that.
Some songs go into others, and cutting them is harsh, but this is a radio station at its core - there's special programming for whole CD's.
