There's a specific version of Runaway Jim by Phish that I have that is over 60 minutes long. Thats the longest single track I believe I've listened to....maybe I've heard an ambient track that was longer, but according to earlier posts that isn't a song.

For songs above 60+ i would go with the second Green Carnation (LOD,DOD). When I bought the CD in 2003, i freaked out when I saw just a single 60' 06" song ( given that fast-forward was a nightmare in the pre-mp3 eras, so I could not handle and spin easily favourite parts of the song) "The Girl..who was death" by devil doll is weird ~70 min but has a long silence break Also some ambient/black metal projects like 'Darkspace' have notoriously long songs (in parts), like the 76 min. Darkspace I EDIT: I forgot some nice projects of Fredrick Thordendal (Meshuggah) in. "Special Defects".Also an hour piece long or something. Edited by Neue regel - November 20 2010 at 22:00 |

Off the top of my head I would say Gravedigger by Janus. The title track is all of side two and has gotta be twenty minutes long.

Very true - and the same is true of The Passion Play, where I actually think the side-to-side transition is a bit more logical (even though I prefer TAB on the whole). But were there any other forty-five-minute songs in the vinyl era? I can't really think of any. The necessity to break it up is enough of a discouragement, it seems. |

Indeed. By the way, has anybody mentioned "The Whirlwind" yet?

This thread is giving me deja-vu, I'm sure several of these have been mentioned more than twice already.

I would say that "Whirlwind" of Transatlantic is the longest, near 78 minutes, even if it is divided in parts. Just check the "live" version they perform at 79 minutes.

The longest I've heard in its entirety is Green Carnation's Light of Day, Day of Darkness at 60 minutes and 6 seconds. Surprisingly it's very good and almost never resorts to ambiance.

I consider that one 14-hour piece in 10 parts. As for continuous non-stop pieces I might go for The Whirlwind or any old fashioned Klaus Schulze tracks. |

Nathan Mahl - "The Sentence - De Mortuis Nif Nisi Bonum (of the dead speak nothing but good)" (54:02) (and it's a very good composition IMHO!) Edited by ozzy_tom - November 16 2010 at 19:39 |

For the most part, I agree with you, especially where the limitations imposed by the medium are concerned. On a related but rather speculative note, yes, TAAB is definitely one song, but its form has been affected by the necessity of breaking it up roughly in the middle--not just in terms of the physical split, but in terms of writing the song to end at one point and then begin again on the other side while clearly remaining one song. That is, the vinyl medium imposes compositional constraints other than just a 45 minute upper limit. I wonder what the composition would have sounded like had they been able to take that break in the middle out of the picture. Probably almost exactly the same, I imagine, but maybe not. Like I said, pure speculation. |
