Paul Hartnoll said relatively recently that the reason recent Orbital albums are shorter is people don't listen to long tracks anymore, as Spotify, iTunes etc. has reduced listeners' attention spans - and yet the one complaint I
always see about their recent stuff is the tracks are too short! recent UW stuff has been similar, and FSOL have taken it to the extreme, with most of their recent records being 15-24 tracks, mixing up three-four minute pieces with one minute interludes. The Orb have at least throw in a few longer tracks, particularly on
Moonbuilding (everyone seems to love this one but me - I find it exceptionally boring) and a couple of tracks on
No Sounds Are Out of Bounds (which sounds like a half finished album to me - lots of beats but where are the tunes?!)
