Re: DRIFT Series 1 - New album, Nov 1, 2019
well there's a big difference in the way music is consumed now as opposed to then. I think the Riverruns were hurt by the fact that they weren't in stores, weren't on iTunes, you had to go through a clunky storefront that was down a lot of the time. maybe the fact that it was just one continuous track turned some people off too. I have no idea what the sales were, I know we all went nuts over it but I never got the sense that the public at large was that interested. It kinda made sense that by '06 they were more focused on the next CD


nowadays it seems pretty easy to finish something and have it out across the board on streaming services the next day, people don't really listen to CDs much anymore and the idea that an "album" has to be something between 40-80 minutes is kind of outdated. so the time is right for this sort of thing.
