I'm sad that there wasn't as much critical response to the EPs as they deserved.
A reason for that might be the general preconception that those EPs consisted of "unfinished" or "unpolished" tunes... and were merely "goodies". It makes me sad every time I read a sentence like that here.
Many people seem to expect a second dubno or STITI or whatever, but what's the point? If I want dubno I listen to dubno. They have to move forward... and the RiverRun project was just that. The album... not so much. Something seemed to hold them back (except for the last third + Loads of Birds, which could easily have been another RiverRun).
In answer to the original question, I think they should release a longer RiverRun in form of an album.

I haven't ever watched all the slides as the albums played...meant to, but didn't find the time - anyway, i did most of my RR listening on the move, rather than in front of the computer, so the tracks had a different visual aspect for me.
I agree with what you've written above. Despite the general consensus that the RR tracks were snippets or unfinished, we know that tseveral tacks were in the works for some time. Each RR has a very unique "feel" or genre, if you will. Whereas OWB is a bit of everything, i think the RR mixes work better as unified wholes.And i too would like an album-long mix with a consistent feel.
