I'll have more to say about the actual review later on, but I wanted to 
address the album content questions separately.  I recall hearing that there 
would be 11 tracks on the full 30 minute opera.  I also recall hearing that 
In The Ether will be on the album and that there is a long version of 
Endless Wire.  These things suggest to me that there will be a handful of 
full length songs, including some of the ones here, but there will also be 
some very short ones.  I can't recall *where* I heard any of these things, 
although I think it was Pete that said the opera had 11 songs.  Maybe 
someone else has a better memory than I do.  I definitely remember Pete 
saying on In The Attic that some of the songs ran their course after a 
minute or two and wouldn't be any longer than that.   He played Endless Wire 
and They Made My Dreams Come True in that episode.
