Obviously in this day and age, when practically everyone listens to music on an ipod or on their computers, there is a great deal of futility in this organisational attempt. Nevertheless, if this is indeed the case with Newsom's new record, I see nothing wrong with the approach. Consider how annoying it is listening to the deluxe editions of Goo or Dirty without some sort of pause between the album proper and all of the bonus material.

I agree with all up to the last sentence. The bonus material is just that.
And in the case of Embryonic, my fav record of '09, the two 35min discs (in the special edition or whatever) do stand alone quite nicely.
But fuckin, put 2min to 5min pauses in there if you think things should be broken up, I dunno.
Maybe the 3cd concept for this will make perfect sense.
I'm still lovin those 2 songs.
