(from previous mail) > > Actually, it's 40 minutes. The Orb track was 39:58 [...] Wonder how many versions of Blue Room there are? I've got it here (at 14.58) on Orb Live 93. But what I really would love to know is WHY there are limitations as regards running time? Surely it limits creativity and, erm 'artistic integrity' to be thus bound by time? Isn't there also a 4- track limit to EP's which causes so many "hidden tracks" that are on the CD but simply not listed on the sleeve? Who makes these rulings? What is the point? Who scores?
