DrDamn Also opening track was 8m38s
Not a jab honest, but I think this is the worst thing about the spotification (or to be fairer, the algorithmic surfacing) of music. And maybe points to what might happen to games too (c.f. Me, complaining about Valhalla).
One of my favourite tracks of all time is a track by Orbital. It’s on a limited edition album I got back in the 90s and it’s 28 minutes long.
The album without the longer version of the track feels totally incomplete to me and I’ve listened to it in the shorter form a few times. The progression through the long form track is so gradual and delicious it just has an entirely different effect.
