Actually, I've deleted most of those. I only saved the best 20-30ish out of each top 100. So that only accounts for about 1000 songs.

Sorry, turns out that count is a slight exaggeration. I just had Winamp count them again, and I only have 17,561 songs.

I just bought their first one, the phantom agony, good stuff. Well I've purchased so many cd's this summer both legally and illegally... I have enough music for like the next 8 months or so. I will definately check that one out though.

I downloaded that album a few days back, haven't listened to it too well though. But my initial impression was that it was pretty good.  :)  Not that I have much experience with this sub genre, my only other album of this sort being After Forever's  "Decipher".

Glad you like it. Seems like a good start! I'm curious if the album will be for sale in Indian record shops.

I believe it was Mr. Cannon that told me you had 19,000 songs...he was the one who exaggerated  :p

I doubt it. At least in my city. There is like one shop in the whole city where I might get it. I saw a Deicide album there a few weeks back.  :bigsmile: So there is still some hope for lesser known metal bands in India  B)

What a list ! A interesting list, indeed...

In another music, there are Jean-Michel Jarre' songs what I love a lot !
For informations :

-> "Revolutions"    44'24
-> "Oxygene"        39'05
-> "Equinoxe"        36'25
-> "Rendez-Vous"  35'04

Relaxing times... :halo:
 
"Oxygene" is six tracks, really. I don't think it's been released in any other way.

Speaking of lengthy electronic tracks, many Tangerine Dream songs push the limits in that direction. Of the ones I have, "Phaedra", "Force Majeure" and "Sphinx Lightning" all approach 20 minutes, and if we count songs that, like "Thick as a Brick", were only split in two because of technical limitations, "Rubycon" and "Tangram" clock in at 34.54 and 40.27 respectively.
 
I don't really agree with you on some points...

Jean-Michel Jarre composed "Oxygene" as one song. It should be consider as ONE song ! But, as it was new at this time, he has to divide his one song in 6 parts to returns to a "normal" things...

But, for me, all these songs aren't many songs in one but only one song.

I hope we will understand what I mean... ;)
 
Perhaps they can be considered similar to movements in classical music, pieces which are self-contained but form a larger whole when put together. But let's not argue over technicalities, it's a great album and that's all that matters really.

I agree too...

..but I was afraid (to shoot strangers !  :lol: sorry...) that my point of view was hard to understand...

But it's only another point of view about a point of view... :halo:
