What is the Shortest "prog" album?
I thought Relayer might be short but it's still around 40 minutes.
Anyone know of any shorter length albums?

Rush's Hemispheres is very short. 34 or 36 minutes I think. Also some of the GG stuff like Octopus it's around that time. ------------- We were always be much human than we whish to be. |

| I believe Permanent Waves is the shortest Rush disc, coming in at around 32-34 minutes. That's about as short as I know of, barring EP releases. |

| ^I stand corrected, total time is 35 minutes and change; I think it's still the shortest Rush disc though. |

| Six Wives from Rick Wakeman is obscenely short, but not shorter than some Le Orme albums. |

I think Robert Wyatt's "A short brake" is quite ahort album indeed. Less than 20 minutes, if I'm not confused. I'll check the actual time, but I'm pretty sure it is less than 20 minutes long. Now, I don't know if it is actually considered as an album... ------------- ĦBeware of the Bee! |

Jean-Michel Jarre - Deserted Palace (32:51)

It's an EP. And I think my pick is winning for shortest  .------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste. It is a process of expression." -Merleau-Ponty |

I have a proto prog album by The Electric Prunes called 'Mass In F Minor'. In its original form, it runs for 26 minutes! The shortest album I know of is probably Elvis' 'It Happened At The World's Fair' soundtrack, which I think ran for 18 minutes- yes, that makes about 9 minutes on each side!!! |
