To put that in perspective, I recorded off the telly the 35th anniversary concert and after about ten minutes stopped it and erased it --- what's that cross for you're carrying? Hey! Put me down!!
No, I never heard of an album (not EP) with only four tracks. I was used to 4 tracks
per side on the old vinyl, specially ELO, but never an album that was comprised of four tracks total.
Thanks for the compliment BE: right back atcha. You're right about melody, which is why I also hate experimental music in general, and the idea of a thing someone spoke of once, the sound of photocopiers running for an hour, does nothing for me. I like my music to be, well, musical. Though I wouldn't accuse Frumpy of not being musical. It just wasn't totally my thing, though perhaps if I listened a few more times I might have got into it. But at this point I have Plankton's album on constant repeat in advance of my review of it, so I didn't feel it merited another spin. Unlike It Bites, which once I heard two tracks off sent me in search of a place to buy it.
Guys, we should do a collaborative review sometime. Would be fun!
