New arrival! 54 minutes, 54 seconds

Noisuf-X
The Beauty of Destruction

Just last week, as part of a series on weird things artists do with the total time of their CDs, I posted the results of my conversation with Jan from X-Fusion/Noisuf-X. In that post, I queried Jan on why nearly all his releases are mastered to an exact round number of minutes, with zero seconds. He gave a (seemingly) earnest response about his being a perfectionist and very exacting in his work.

Well, lo and behold, the new Noisuf-X CD arrives in yesterday's mail...and it's not 55:00, not 54:00, but 54:54! Did he take a page from Albin Julius of Der Blutharsch and decide to master this album to the same number of minutes as seconds?

Or is he just mocking me?
