...you to complete a song from start to finish? Obviously
this only applies to music makers....

Depends on whether I play it live or not.
I can work quickly. but usually somewhere around 25 hours
worth is a good estimate.

FUCK ALL! :)

It usually seems to take me only 3-6 hours most of the time.
Occasionally there is one that takes a day or two...

Some fine tracks can be made quickly.
For instance, I think the quicker a track is, the less time
it takes to make.
My ambient pieces took a lot more time than my edgier stuff.

depends on what i'm goin for.,..
ambitrance (as i call it, think back to old polygon window)
usually goes pretty fast, cause it's a loop with minor
variations from time to time
'scratchamatahtae' and 'intellitrance' take longer cause of
the intricacies...
so...anywhere from an hour to a week

gots badass names for me styles too huh?

It takes you the longest amount of time to name your songs.
;) Oy!

haha, names are the cool part
i'd say autechre and aphex twin (especially on Drukqs)
taught us the name doesn't mean shit
i take that premise and fly with it

My tracks take usually between 8 and 15 hours.

Except occasionally I'll get stuck and have to go back to
them several times (with gaps between efforts as large as a
few months)

I also write tracks completely start to finish (sometimes
add an intro at the end though)

anyone else do this?

it takes me way too long considering how bad some (most) of
my tracks are

I think you should see the Closer to God pt 2 single (UK) on
it, it specifically says that trent reznor came up with the
title to march of the fuckheads even though the song is
completely adrian sherwood. :)
Trent just had to have credit for the title :)

month-long gaps: check
year long gaps: check
writing start to finish: dun really know what you mean, but
my comment here would be that i like to let the track grow
as it will....
true, i DO start with a Grand Vision of how the track Should
Be, but that usually ends up mutating into something
different, but usually better...
i like letting the music influence the flow rather than my
personal tastes
