john lennon said something cool about tracks length but i dont remember. if somebody does, please post. my comment is a RDJ album example: recently, my fav tracks became corn mouth and blue calx, instead of girl/boy song, mainly because they are short. when the track ends i do remember it begins. |

yeah nice melodies are better in short doses, that way you don't wear them out as easily |

agreed. it takes a powerful melody to sustain a long duration, but some are just suited to smaller doses anyway. boards of canada practically has that down to a science, such as triangles and rhombusus, bocuma.. even roygbiv, although even that one's pushing it. a successful long melody usually occurs when it's one that not obvious, per se.. or when it has a really deep texture that takes a while to sink in. my bloody valentine's 'i only said,' for instance. it's quite a judgment call. |

Todd Rundgren - A Wizard, A True Star: an awesome album with a lot of the tracks clocking at 1-2 minutes. if you like the Residents (i used to like them but got bored of them personally), there's also the Commercial Album: 40 tracks, 40 minutes. the "concept" was: Point one: Pop music is mostly a repetition of two types of musical and lyrical phrases, the verse and the chorus. Point two: These elements usually repeat three times in a three minute pop song Point three: Eliminate the excess and a pop song is only one minute long. Point four: One minute is also the length of most commercials, and therefore their corresponding jingles. Point five: Jingles are the folk music of America. Conclusion: THE RESIDENTS' COMMERCIAL ALBUM |

I dont think many commericals are as long as a minute. great short songs: BOC - constants are changing Radiohead - I will |
