songs with long intros are great for starting your set, but are a bitch for mixing. mixing with cdrs helps that problem because you can cue to the exact spot where the beat starts. but, the whole reason producers don't make too many songs with intros is because IT IS hard to mix. However cool it may be to listen to an intro, you're not gonna sell as many records if you have them. DJs want something they can throw on and mix quickly, not something which takes 30 seconds to cue.

but, i totally agree with you.. i love intros too. my favorite has to be the intro on "sweetest dreams" (ferry corsten remix)

whether a track has an intro or not bears no relevence as to whether or not i buy the record

Originally posted by tu_face a lot of tracks with intro's, once you have done your beatmatching, can be cued in. so you have an intro going over a beat, which means you can leave a bit more bass in until the kick comes in, and it sounds fantastic when you get it right too! but yeah, it is easier for djing purposes, to have the track start on a kick.

Agreed. Coldplay - Clocks (Cosmos mix) is that way. I've mixed it, and I heard Sander K mix it in Miami. Yes it sounds great done well. I also buy records on their quality to me, not how they are formulated. I don't shy away from a challenging mix, but I prefer the kick to come in first, if possible.
