When I say ultra super epic, I mean stuff like:

2112
Part 1: Overture, Temple, Discovery
Part 2 is linked

Part 1: Speak to Me, Breath, On the Run

-where we have twenty minutes of different songs that fade seamlessly into each other and are meant to be taken in together. Some of these are really highly requested, but (I think it was) HMX has mentioned a time limit for vocals- apparently the 360 goes into sleep mode after 10 minutes if there's no hard input.


It seems that they could implement something like the practice mode menu to make navigating these giants easier. When you choose one of the songs, another side menu opens up where you can pick either the whole song, or just select start and end points. For example, if you want to play 2112 but you don't like the intro or the outro you could skip straight to Discovery and highlight everything up to Oracle: the Dream. The parts selected would then load and play seamlessly, exactly like any other song.

Leaderboard scores might only be kept for individual pieces and/or for the entire suite as a whole.

Vocals: only allow them to play one part of the song in vocals single player (assuming that's the real reason)? Skip instrumental parts? I have no idea of this.


Comments, suggestions, better ideas?

they must have found some way around the vocal time limit because otherwise setlists taht last more than 10 minute wouldn't work
