Post "TITLE" is wrong and I must choose another Title to show my opinion clearly. This title may make misunderstanding. I don't want say  "changing definition " . I talk about changing category of some Released  material  and ... You right Angelo and pardon me. 2 - Angelo right about Objective. This is not Objective case.This is a Subjective case. You right again Angelo. 3 - I don't proud to suggesting bands in PA. Honestly I tried to gave Angelo one fact to proof that I Know Bandcamp or this kind of sites . I never proud to suggesting or introducing bands. Finally I stand on my opinion about Edison's Children's " Somewhere Between Here And There ". This is not a Studio Album but this can be a Boxset or Compilation . Please listen and check that then give me your opinions if you like. Thanks for your time and one great sorry to Angelo. Thanks for the kind PM, Omid - this should settle it. No need to apologise, in a misunderstanding both sides are wrong (and right at the same time if you want). :-) I think the Edison's Children album is a studio album, as I explained to you in PM, but I'll wait with my final opinion until my ears can confirm or deny this fact next week. Prog on!

It is not a compilation - it has new tracks, and new versions of old tracks. It is not a live album, although it does contain one live track (from Wolverhampton, if you are interested). It is not a various artists album, although it does feature other artists on top of Blackwood and Trewavas. That leaves us, then, with only one possible contender, ergo a studio album.

I am a very bad guy and you right!!! I dont forced any one to waste their time in this post.  If You don't like me and my challenge style, ok you don't waste your time. I ask a clear question about a OBJECTIVE thing. I must explain about some thing for you 1 - I am a Prog Rock fan over 30 years and learn about how pay mo money for music.  2 - Please talk about Edison's Children new album. Are you listen or not and if your answer is yes what is your opinion? Is this a Studio album? 3 - You advice me to use BANDCAMP or ... I suggest many new bands in PA and some of them accepted in PA. this show I know these sites and blogs. 4 - I never try to change definitions!!! I said about categorize and some friends give their HONEST opinion about this question but you try to analyze my character and personage !! why?   Hmmm... pretty obvious what the problem is here. I'll take this to a PM, so we don't further waste other member's time on this.

Alright then take it easy (maybe it's PA who should be afraid ).
I still don't see the need for it to be honest. It's a new album with new material though with a bit extra music in the bargain.
Adding a whole category for what basically just is a new studio release with extra padding is in my humble opinion overkill. All people have to do is to click on the given release and then they will be able to see what it contains.

But I can't find it easily . Maybe this happen for others that want to continue this discuss and they can't find it.

Luckily so this part of the forum is not very busy. I think you have a bigger chance of members seeing this here than in the prog lounge, where it almost certainly would 'disappear' among the more active threads.

As for your op: I agree with Audun (The Bearded Bard) who just posted. 31 minutes of brand new music is sufficient enough for PA to categorise it as a studio album. Hell I have a fair few albums, studio no less, that are shorter than that.
I see no reason to change our definitions.
