You seem to prefer songs over albums, saying (I'm paraphrasing) that albums are awkward permutations of stand-alone songs. But I hear lots of albums where the songs have built-in transitions between them (examples available upon request). Like chapters of a book: distinct enough to be considered separate, but meant to be part of a larger scheme. Would you consider doing an album like that?
what happens is; by the time i've put in all the transitions and everything else to my liking, it can hardly be called an album anymore, it's already turned into something quite a bit more/different
