Well, Green Carnation have a good place in here. They have an only-one-track album called "Light of Day, Day of Darkness" (the same name as the song). 1 hour and six seconds of great music without any cut. Awesome. ------------- We were always be much human than we whish to be. |

| Currently, the longest would be Lizard by King Crimson. I tend to change albums on my mp3 player every once in a while, so I'm not sure how long Lizard will hold the record. |

I'm not obsessed. But, in his case, lenght is a main character and one of universal elaboration. So it's a keen thing to stand for. -------------

The 3 long ones in my MP3 player are 10-minute-something classics:
Steve Hackett's "Shadow of the Hierophant"; King Crimson's "Larks Tongues Pt. 2" and Genesis "One for the Vine."
Yes -- the group Yes -- has no place there.

Fantomas - Delirium Cordia - 74mins Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness - 60mins Mike Oldfield - Amarok - 60mins Sleep - Dopesmoker - 60mins The 4th song up there was suggested by a friend... dunno why I still have it on my MP3 player, honestly as it's so totally awful. Sleep is a really crappy stoned-out Black Sabbath rip-off. They steal from Sabbath to the point where it's hard to tell them apart. The only way I can tell them apart is because Sleep is just plain boring. |

I have some CAN jams on bootleg that go well over an hour. Also, their is a KCCC (king crimson collecter's club) release (live at the zoom club, 1972) with jamie muir that I have which features over an hour of continuous improv joy. Its just a shame is sounds like it was recorded from outside the venue.

If computer counts, my record-breaker would possibly be KS's Into the Blue, but I didn't load it in my mp3 player (it's a 20 GB sony, and I prefer 64 kbps oma format)
I prefer Return of the Tempel from that album...
indeed, Mr. Schulze seems to be king of length.. and I will admit being surprised by many prog fans' appreciation of his "later" music
 ... I usually turn the page (to some other band) after Miditation or Dreams... I think he's best when he goes around 25 minutes. Albums from Moondawn to X (maybe along with Live) are just great...Ash Ra Tempel (which also features KS in this instance) has also some longer-than-usual tracks in my player, those in M.G.'s private tapes. Ein Würdiger Abschluß (A worth conclusion!!!) is around 50 minutes, if I'm not mistaken
Don't forget Tangerine Dream as well. Since you guys brought separate movements of a piece altogether, this also counts: Pergamon: 46 min. Soundmill Navigator: 41 min. (this one is even in one piece) Tangram: 40 min. Ricochet: 39 min. Rubycon : 37 min.
... not to mention the loose jams in Bootleg Box Set (especially those in Vol. 1)after these, I won't bother mentioning Yes', Genesis', King Crimson's (et al) relatively shorter (!) pieces  ------------- Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret: Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!) |

i have two P. emerson williams podcasts that are approximately 1 hour each-they appear to be either one song or a group of songs meshed together
5 songs on my itunes (with certain exceptions):
Ulver (with Ihsahn, Samoth and Fenriz)-Song of Liberty (26:23)
Renaissance-Ashes are Burning (Live) (23:53)
Orion-Dance of the Tri-Axle Orbit (20:48)

Grace Slick-Theme From the Movie Manhole
Monster Magnet-Tab

the monster magnet and the eloy would not copy properly onto my ipod and therefore are not on it. -------------
