Are all the tracks seperate from each other (like in Guitars, Voyager) ,or are they all connected (like in TB2, TB3, TSODE). I prefer the tracks to all run into each other, like in TSODE. It gives the album a nice long continuating length. And if this album is supposed to be a "chill out" theme, i think 55 minutes or so of relaxing music should would be best in a row, not seperate. -------------- Terrible, Wonderful, Crazy, Perfect.

Paul from mikeoldfield.com says that the style is similar to SODE (he's heard Tres Lunas) so that leans more towards the album being connected tracks. -------------- Expect Great Things.

Some albums, i can understand being seperated because of songs (Heaven's Open), but i think for most of his work (instrumental, not vocal) the connected tracks are best. -------------- Terrible, Wonderful, Crazy, Perfect.
