The Jazz guys had been doing it for years. Dylan and Zappa released some but they were less than 15 minutes each. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida in '68 could probably be considered the first rock album with a full side track. Today I might even consider it arrogant for a band or musician to ask a listener to commit 20 to 25 minutes of their listening attention solely to their music. Even before iPods you could shuffle CD's and before that even, people would create 'mix tapes'. When I discovered the shuffle feature on my first iPod that all changed. If the band didn't care about getting AM radio airplay that was fine.īack in the day I had no problem listening to a complete album side track. It didn't really matter whether it was 5 or 6 songs or just 1 really. Back in the days when vinyl ruled the world you would throw on an album side and listen to it. Welcome to the world of shuffle Roger Waters and company. The first thing I did on this remix was to split up the sections of the Atom Heart Mother Suite.
