Hello,

I may be one of the last, but I have a 56k modem to connect me on this site.
So I'm looking for the shortest mp3s on this site (<4 mb) that could be downloaded.

Any recommendation ?
Thanks

I would stick with neo-prog or art-rock group's mp3s because most of the symphonic progressive, fusion and krautrock bands have long songs that would be over 4mb.
Best of 2006 that I've heard:
PFM-Stati Di Immaginazione
Zenit-Surrender (Best "unknown" album)
Oaksenham - Conquest of Pacific
2007:
Phideaux - Doomsday Afternoon
La Torre Del Alchimista - Neo

Get Getright. You can download a song in pieces.

How about Fire from Arthur Browns Kingdom Come.

If my memory serves me well it only lasts 3 minutes or so.

 

Though not entirely prog, it is a wonderfull song

Must be frustrating ... on my list now, I see Amazing Blondel, Bruford, Caravan, Cressida, Curved Air, Soft Machine and Pavlov's Dog songs that fit or and Il Balleto and Il Rovescio as well

good luck

Closure from Opeth isn't too long.

Neither are things from Anekdoten

If I remember correctly, I downloaded the entire MP3 contents of this site on a 56k many moons ago

Sometimes I find the will to download long songs too ! My personal best is "slightly all the time" by soft machine.
It makes me wonder : what is the longest song available here in mp3 ?

Thank God I bought the album !

I've downloaded Bruford's "Hell's bells" : very interesting rhythm, soft melody : good !
Anekdoten's "Nucleus" is quite good for a prog metal song
And Amazing Blondel's "sinfonia for guitars and strings" is almost classical music

I'm currently downloading the song by cressida...
Thanks Trotsky for your precious and precise information

You're welcome ... most of those short songs are damn good too  ... I also just remembered an awesome short track by Pollen ... cheers!
