This is a quote from a Quirk interview from 1998. They're talking about their masterpiece debut album:
"With a lot of trance albums simply a collection of full-on tunes with a short shelf life, Mark and Tim aimed to create a package that wouldn't be disposable, something from which different parts would stand out the more it got listened to. "We wanted people to find reference in it at different times over as long a period as possible, so that it's not just a throw-away as a record," says Tim. "The problem with an artist album where you have, say, nine high-quality but quite similar-sounding dance tracks one after another is that most people find their favorites ones, listen to them a few times, and then that's the end of that. With DJs, it's worse, it goes out of their record box after a couple of months." The answer to that problem was to experiment with as many possible styles within the parameters of electronic dance music that they could. And this they have done."
I found it funny how the first couple of sentences of the quote is relevant even today, might put things in perspective.
