I think that the structure of the record industry could very well be flattened out by market forces on the Internet and that without fatcat suits in the way, maybe more artists can make an honest buck. Maybe you can clarify? Dave Jeyes Ken,

And if bands really want to release a concept, release it as one big MP3.

Maybe bands will follow bloggers in releasing breaking news and songs in real time just like news organizations have started to do. bandblogging? Cheers, Dave Erik,

There used to be a day and age where a cohesive "album" really meant something. It could be very interesting to see artists begin to morph into providing a constant stream of new tracks. However, there is still something to be said for toiling away in the studio for months (or years) on end, releasing a big collection of tracks as an album.
