mini LP's

what do you think about releasing only mini LP's ? i mean,
these would suppose to be full albums, but 21 minutes long
with various amount of tracks. the albums could be released
on these small 8cm CD's .

would there be a difference for you between album that
contains ( lets say ) 14 tracks and album that has 4 tracks
? the prize would be less than a prize of an 14 rack album
of course.

what would you prefer ?

Yeah, EP's and mini-LP's are cool, these are my favorite
formats. Albums are just too long.

im not talking about EP's.
who said that album must have more that 60 minutes or
whatever ?
isnt shorter story closed in music also an album ? it is,
its just shorter, the name EP and LP are stupid.

if i want to tell a story which has less than 30 minutes ,
its not an album coz it have less than 30 minutes ? pretty
stupid for me.

The mini-ness is sort of cool/unique, but it makes it so it
can't be played in all cd players... Car stereos for
example.

fortunately mini LP's make sense

why not just burn 21 minutes of tracks onto a regular cd?

because its a lost of space, plus mini CD looks much more
cool.

nope. the word "album" comes from the vinyl format of an
LP-length record.

an EP CAN be a "whole story but shorter" and it CAN be as
you call a "mini-lp". but they are two seperate things that
have two different meanings. like, for example, "cat" and
"dog" - two different animals that have two different names.

thats the point- because of the name EP when you hear EP you
dont think about it like about an album, while its still an
album ,just shorter one.

if only EP could be treated in the same way as LP, it would
be great. but its not coz EP is supposed to be ...EP. thats
stupid.music is music, story is story, one time is long,
another time its short. simple as that.

maybe.. but when you hear "mini LP", you just think "oh, he
means EP".

oh, i understand what you're saying now. i've never thought

i don't like those small cds. i don't think they look
cooler.

a full album has the possibility to contain more good music.
