So how come your mix is > shorter? I don't know is it the same track? - I haven't seen the official release around lately. The track on the promo is called 'Onyx Electra' and it is as you describe at the start - "quite ambientish, the beats only kick in a little later (maybe a minute or so)". It does start to fade out after 7.25 though, so maybe it has been artificially shortened. > Another weird thing: what's the length of that 12-track CD of > yours? 'Coz it's gotta be about 79:30 by my reckoning, which > is the longest CD I know of! According to my system, CD1 lasts 78.26 and CD2 lasts 79.26, the first volume also lasts about 79 minutes, so Blue Planet obviously like to give good value for money. > So, Wezz: what's the friends, lovers & family track like then? > Worth my searching out a copy of the proper disk? It's good but probably not worth shelling out for another copy of the disc. It has a hip-hop feel with a prominent bass line, some scratchy sounds and various vocal sounds - some samples and some grunts. It grooves along very nicely and then just abruptly finishes with no warning. You're better off with the extra 2 minutes of Bedouin Ascent, unless you're a big FLF fan. All the best, Wezz ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
