Hi,
Well, there are some technical problems with vinyl, which limit the total
amount of music you can put on one side. Dance music with lots of bass and
swishing hi-hats sounds best if there is a maximum of 8.00 to 10.00 minutes
per side. So if an artist makes a track of say 6 minutes, he or
To my homie - Mr. Al Oldam (aka Mr. Dj T-1000),
MUCH RESPECT FOR BREAKING IT DOWN!!! I was going to respond in simular
fashion, but after reading your response, I can relax and finish watchin' the
LAKERS beat the HEAT!
WELL SAID MY BROTHA!
:-)
peace respect,

Nomenclature aside, I'd rather buy a 12 w/ 2 loud, fat-ass tracks than a
4-song EP where only one or two of the tracks are any good.
Also, 12s can only hold so much per side. You can fit more, but at
the expense of audio quality (grooves can't be as wide/deep); usually

there (and I've probably put a few out).
i'll second that opinion.
PS. Assuming anyone on the list actually listens to techno anymore, the new
Moodymann is notorious for doing the single sided record. I'd agree
with the rest of the crew here - I quite like the idea of an absolutely
excellent track all by itself, plenty of pressing space for some fat
bass. If the song is good enough, that's all that matters. Also, i like
to think of
Most records have only one choon on them that I would play, so I am more or
less paying full price for one five minute track at a time anyway.
I think if you hear a record that you like, even if it has only got one
track on it you should still buy it.
We the listeners are not into buying
i disagree. eps and 12s cos the same price,
so who cares how many tracks are on there?
it's about quality, not quantity. some of my
favorite records have a track on side A
and side B is the instrumental of side A.
i'd rather 2 good tracks on a 12 or EP
than 4 tracks just so it can be said there's

with cds, artists often jam up cds to 74 +
minutes and some of it is filler because of this.
if they did 40 minute LPs and 40 min cds,
the quality might be higher.
Case in point:
Lil' Louis - Journey With The Lonely clocks in at 48:57 minutes :)

Read the above
Staurt McMillan (Soma/ Slam/ Counterplan/ Pressure) won't buy a 12 record
unless its got a half decent 2nd side/ track, thats why he only travels
with 10 -15 records.

I use the same criteria - money better spent. Its little cost corners like
that that can be the difference between a good collection and a great
collection.

Just a thought,
I'm not sure what anyone else thinKs, but I get really annoyed and feel
somewhat ripped off when an artist realeases an EP with only two tracks (the
two that broke the camels back today where the latest releases from Joey
Beltram and KDJ, moods and grooves) Both Artist offer
there been 8 boring tracks on the 12s you bought, would it have made you
happier?

It's sort of irresponsible to use that much plastic for so little music.
As long as we record labels are making products that will take forever to
decompose - we might as well use both sides of the disc.
