I gotta agree. The Dream of the Blue Turtles clocks in at under 45 minutes and had only two B s-ides. I am more scared of how Send Your Love sounds than album length. I can picture the meeting with the execs, "Can you make Desert Rose II?" What happened to the cutting edge stuff of the 80's to mid 90's? As far as Moon 2003 - the vocals sound different to me than the DOTBT version. Maybe there will be a second, non-mixed version that comes out. All the other remakes - Like Black Seem '93 and Beds too Big '96 are pretty good. I wouldn't count this one out quite yet. Not based on 20 seconds of a remix. Rich

It seems like 10 songs @ 45 minutes is now his standard. Of course, I too would like more songs, but when you think about it, The Soul Cages (arguably his best) was only 9 songs, and one of them was a musical piece. So in the end, I'd rather have quality over quantity. It would be nice though to get some quality B-sides like the Mercury Falling ones, rather than some commissioned remixes. But there will be at least one original B-side. Twelve tracks were mixed, and 10 of those appear on the album...
