Reviews: TEN SECOND COMPILATION (CDR by Kif Recordings) Seventy-one tracks in twenty-five minutes. That is, if I'm not mistaken ten seconds per track. Kif Recordings asked, through internet, people to send in music that lasted ten seconds - one of those internet projects. You can play it, and before you read from the insert band name and track title, the next one is already almost over. Is there a point to all of this, I wonder? I could spend more time thinking about that than actually listening to this and still don't work out a proper answer. So maybe it's better to glance the various names and marvel at all the new names, silly names and silly titles and funny music. It's not all noise that shines here, but it prevails, in all its variations and deviations. Rather than trying to point out the point in all of this, I must admit it's all much more interesting that one would expect. A pity that some are only very short and one wish to hear more, in some cases ten seconds is still quite long. (FdW)
