Actually, the real release will have one additional track, bringing the total length to over 40 minutes. Apparently, a release does not qualify as an album unless it exceeds 40 minutes (in Germany, at least, according to GEMA). This affects royalties and pricing somehow. I remember back in the day when a good rock n roll album could be 32 minutes! These days it's all about quantity, not quality. This electronic stuff is just too darn easy to make! Seth
