i meant recording it in real-time, not cheating the system like they do :P

i wonder what their ratio of amount of time spent on their music / length of their music is

They take a sound and draw it out electronically along with using loops.

How utterly pointless.

I might check out some of their music though.

When Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight" made waves on the radio statioms in NY all 14 minutes of it were played on air, however I feel like nowadays that pretty much happen on mainstream radio stations, I'd say 5 minutes is the max for your song to still get airplay. If you are stuck on wanting a longer song and feeling that cutting it down will damage your track just keep the original on your album and release a single edit to send to stations. I can't count how many Funk and Soul artists did this with their cuts bringing 8-12 minute long songs down to around 3 for their single editions.

Some of their stuff is decent. Music with a point is so pretentious anyway.

Yeah that's cheating in my book, but I do want to check out some of their work sometime because I'm intrigued now.
