Always found "extended" to be a funny phrase in music context. When a track is being produced, these are the versions that are typically made first. Then they cut some parts for the shorter version, often callad the Radio Edit(ion).
So rather than the long version being called extended, if anything the short version should be called shortened. After all, it's not like they make a short track first and then add a bunch of stuff to it because lol&lmao.
Now that that pet peeve is out of the way I went straight for the extended ones, the way these tracks were meant to be. Very high energy! The pumping beats make me want to go drive 220 km/h on the German Autobahn. A great find, Retro! I'll look more into Casepeat. Interesting to see this kind of music coming from South Korea.
Does it take a lot more effort to make a 7 or 8 minute track than a 3 to 4 minute one? I'm thinking that given the repetition in most songs, it wouldn't take that much more effort, just add a few extra sequences in and your done.
It's a bit more complicated than just copypasting a few extra sequences and then calling it a day. All the sounds, they have to work, if that makes sense. Maybe for some tracks it all sounds similar, but take Jack to the Sound of the Underground for instance. Lots of unique bits and pieces in the longer version that you just don't hear in the shorter version.
@Hitcore This is just a courtesy message to let you know that I'll be editing my first post since 3 out of the 4 videos have been taken down. There's alternatives that I'll be putting there instead, but not as many, so we've lost a fair bit of content there.
Reading between the lines, this is likely to be the killjoy of a copyright strike against a particular channel by Black Hole Recordings, as theirs is the only video left and when Googling, I only find this track on their channel. This is a great example of why it's wise to have a non-DRM recording of one's music, otherwise it can be removed at a moment's notice like we see here. I only put up with this garbage in my collection here because it's free, as in costs no money, but it's still really annoying when this happens, especially as I only find out when I go to play the video. Videos for other tunes in my section have been hit too over the last couple of years, so this is hardly an isolated incident.
