    I would like to ask the owners... doesn't side A sound bad with those more than 30 minutes? (I would like to get a copy, but I am a bit wary due to that quite shocking number).

      Hypnotic modern classical masterpiece. Would have made a great soundtrack for a time bending movie like Interstellar. A great introduction to modern classical.
