Hi,
 
What is weird, is that in the age of the CD, when this can be accomplished easily enough, I can not even list them.
 
Djam Karet's The Trip is about the only one right off the top of my head!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

The live version of Scheherezade from Renaissance's Live at Carnegie Hall clocks in at 28:50.  The vinyl records we are most familiar with are what are known as long play, or l.p. for short and are distinct from the e.p. which means extended play.  18 - 20 minutes a side became the convention, probably due to production costs as much as anything else.  They can actually handle an hour on a single side but the sound quality will be horrible.  Both Genesis and Renaissance regularly exceeded conventional side lengths.  Some classical labels would only do about fifteen minutes or so.

Genesis did usually exceed 45 mins per album for a simple reason; cassettes were mostly C90s so you couldn't get their albums on one side of a tape, which discouraged home taping.


So what? When I used 90 minutes tapes, I just completed the other side with tracks from other albums. I could skip the tracks I didn't like, et hop! 2 albums on a C90.

Music For 18 Musicians by Steve Reich, original ECM LP (1978); that B side, Sections V - XI - Pulse  is 32 minute long. Although Steve Reich is not a prog rock act, many prog-lovers like his minimalistic music, so I want to mention the album.
