    Mix CD's

    I have noticed recently that recent mix cd's are becoming shorter in length. For example Adam Freeland's recent GU, both discs are about an hour long each. Each CD could have been 80 mins each. Either the DJ could'nt be bothered in finding any more tunes, of which I am sure there were plenty, or he thought that the mix was good enough. I know that some mixes are outstanding at just an hour (one of James Holdens - At the Controls, springs to mind) but I do feel like I have been short changed when another 30-40 mins of music could have been included.

    Anybody else noticed this recently?

    ps. A bit cheeky I know, but does anyone know if the tracklistings.net essential mix download for Dubfire is floating about anywhere. I only trust the quality from that site, Herre does a great job each week.

    Cheers

      I noticed the Holden mix was on the short side when I listened to it last week. I don't really care as long as the music is good. All the best mixes are too short

                  Well it's the DJ's perogative, if he feels a mix is complete then so be it. It's a showcase of the DJ's skill and taste in music, if he/she wants to shortchange us, he's shortchanging himself.

                  There're mixes that I wished were longer, but i don't feel 'short changed' like the DJ was trying to cheat me out of another 30-40mins' worth of music

                  I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

                      I agree that the aural experience is of course first and foremost...but I will admit that I tend to be a bit wary of a traditional mix with just 10 tracks on it...

                              You and Herre should get a room.

                              I remember the days Holden use to flyer outside heaven, maybe i should have been nicer to him.

                              No one would mind less of certian DJs CDs. Tiesto for one.

                                  It's all about the flow of the tracks
                                  and usually the editing, who doesn't like
                                  more music, still the overall sound is more important.

                                  So white-middle class Americans have been told by their Television sets to be fearful of:

                                  1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
                                  2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
                                  3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
                                  4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

                                  Am I close here?
