Re: Listen to whole disc

I was shying away from playing full discs of late because some would get bored - however, there are certain discs I will be fully playing.

Jim would sometimes DJ with the new adds, quite enjoyable. But there's so many adds I think he may lose his job if he continues that pace!

On a serious note...I was to play Magenta's "Metamorphosis" a few months back, and Ken Golden of the Lasers Edge had a request from Rob Reed that the record not be played in its entirety. He was fearful that someone would "steal' it. Of course, one would think a band would love that sort of exposure. But Magenta is a band that is striving for commercial success, and after all they are the artists. No one needs a DJ rocking the boat. Record companies can do that good enough.

So I just said ok, I'll play a 20 minute cut - after all, there's plenty of music on the Moon.

So legally, probably no reason. You probably technically need permission, but 99% of the bands want that exposure (this week is a prime example).

Thanks for the reinforcement about the "whole album concept". Although it's not going to be the main focus of the show, it is good to do for the reasons suggested.
