Yes, but I really wish they all weren't if they had condenced all of the tracks into 10 minutes (aprox) each, then it would be a good album, because, like rick wakeman said, all of the sections were bled to death.

Focus 3 has the 19 minute Anonymous II (Part One) starting the third side. If you look at it as 2 separate discs I guess it can be included. Oh, and welcome to the site from a fellow Melbournian!  |

Hey AtomicCrimsonRush!
Ah, a fellow Australia! No chance you're in Melbourne?! Oh, I LOVE Rush's `2112'!! I play it at work quite a lot, one of my co-workers said `Man, that chick has a really annoying voice!' lol! 
As for Magma, cound be `Kohntarkosz' (or however you spell it), though I know some CD's list the two-part title track first, while if I remember my vinyl has it split over the start of side one, and the end of side two? So not sure if that counts?! :) Focus, if I remember, had both `Moving Waves' and `Hamburger Concerto' that had side long pieces, but pretty sure they were on the second side?

Rush - 2112
ELP - Tarkus Kraftwerk - Autobahn were obvious but already mentioned so hard to think now of any off hand. i think Focus had one as did Magma. |

Unless someone else has mentioned it:
PULSAR - The Strands OF The Future http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=1126 Even though I've got it here right now on my I-pod, I can't recall if that first side long track is all instrumental? I'm going to give it a listen again right now!
I do remember it doesn't have the greatest recording quality/production, but it still has a very dark spacey sound. It's a Mellotron loaded beast too :) also TRIUMVARIT - Illusions On A Double Dimple http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=1684 Two side long pieces, bit of a favourite of mine, even if it is dismissed a little as an ELP clone.

Mike Oldfield has made a couple of good albums that fit this formula
Platinum
Crises
And also Tangerine Dream - Force Majeure

Also, don't forget "Waka/Jawaka" "Just Another Band From LA", and "Studio Tan" by Frank Zappa.
I don't know if "Apostrophe (')" counts, but I've always thought of the "Yellow Snow Suite" to be a sidelong epic. Edited by Zombywoof - October 18 2011 at 07:24 |

Tales from Topographic Oceans?
That's all side-length tracks.

Lizard and Pawn Hearts.
Last tracks are one side, but like Dellinger said it is pretty much the same thing.

I would say Atom Heart Mother and Meddle too... though the last one has the side long track as the last track, not the first, but in the end I feel it has a similar statement of intent as the albums with the side long track as the first one. Wish you were here may come close to this description... well, at least the intent was to have a side long song as the first song (shine on), but it ended being just a bit too long to fit on one side, and so they split it up and put half of it in the begining and half on the end. Another close one may even be Animals, for Dogs is almost the whole first half (with a very short song as sort of an intro).

I might be wrong-haven't had the disk in years only the cd-but I think Nektar's A Tab in the Ocean does.
