It's good that TITN is track 5, not track 12, not to mention it is the title track.
There is always Murrow and Come for extended solos.
As for throwing Caroline in the trash... no complaints here.

You just made my case of why Tango is one of my least favorite Mac albums. Besides embracing synth pop, you are right no song is allowed over 4 minutes. Thank goodness the Eagles never embraced this corporate philosophy because we would have never gotten Hotel California and Don would have never recorded Sunset Grill. Total embracing of the pop song to the extreme. Sadly most keyboards are not even Christine playing and its programmed stuff. The song Tango in the Night is one of the album highlights. It should have been the opening track and Lindsey's play should have been extended IMHO.
