I was thinking about how different artists use the EP in different ways recently and how effective they can be. While some just use them as introductory songs that will later reappear on LPs, some EPs contain songs that arn't anywhere else. I remembering getting Freeworm's EP and LP (Vegetation = Fuel). The EP contained four songs that are on the LP. Exactly. Not remixed or anything. Just the same. I think it can get bad when someone doesn't realize this. When I bought the Port Rhombus Squarepusher EP today I forgot that those songs are contained on the cds Budakahn Mindphone and Big Loada. Kinda feel like you get ripped off. I thought to myself however that at least I got 'another' cd by []<. Then you look at Autechre and see how they use the EP in a way that they bridge the LPs together. You won't find any of their songs on their full lengths. They really make you track down every single cd so as to hear everything. RDJ does this too...he has tons of cds. I like EPs just as much as full lengths and believe we should get our money's worth from them. |

EPs are great, its a great way to get B-sides. Come to Daddy is a great CD. I just got Basement Jaxx's Red alert EP today from work and its great. |

EP's are great for remixes/alternate versions, and live tracks - but it's a bit disappointing when it's all new material (a la gantz graf, windowlicker, p-brane, in a beautiful place out in the country, wap155) because you just KNOW there's more where that came from and wonder why they couldn't just have put out an album instead. the exception is very experimental stuff that is only meant to be a diversion from the artist's work. |

Be fair to Squarepusher - Port Rhombus was released prior to Hard Normal Daddy as 3 exclusive tracks which didn't appear on the album. The UK versions of Big Loada and Budakhan Mindphone don't have any of those tracks on. It's just that Nothing (US label) wouldn't release a 3 tracker (no profit) so they tagged them onto later albums to bump up running time... |

I agree... I love EPs, but I guess they're more for the hardcore fan maybe, those who want, or need everything by the artist... |

The_Funkmaster : it depends... the Broken EP by NIN is a must have if you like the genre! :) |
