Fairly long songs that don't vary much

plank201 [Edit] [Delete] 52 replies 12:39, 20 August '12

Hearing Of Montreal play The Past Is A Grotesque Animal at Green Man last night has put me in the mood for more stuff like that. I'm after 7-minute-plus songs that, rather than progessing and changing throughout, are more or less just one insistent riff, rhythm, or groove all the way through. All My Friends is another good example.

I'm not hugely familiar with Kraftwerk but I imagine they've got a few of these?

  • Underworld - Dark & Long (Dark Train)

    Long but really gorgeous song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxeN56g2U3k

    A small part from "Dark Train" also appeared on Trainspotting movie soundtrack.

  • Oneida - Sheets of Easter

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT26L1vtgkE

    the ultimate.

    Funnily enough, I have Past is a Grotesque Animal playing right now. Always amazing every time.

    • Onieda have a few

      Add 'Folk Wisdom' and the entire of 'Preteen Weaponry' to that list.

      Songs:Ohia ' Not Just a Ghost's Heart'
      Spacemen Three - Suicide
      Lindstrom - Little Drummer Boy (If you can find the 45 minute version)

    • There are five of them on Fuck Button's Tarot Sport

      and 8 of 'em on Underworld's dubnobasswithmyheadman, though personally, I much prefer this version of "Mmm Skyscraper I Love You" than the album version:

    • Nisennenmondai

      from Tokyo. They're just what you're after. Every tiny change ends up sounding like a tectonic shift. Destination Tokyo or Fan are both good places to start.

    • How Soon Is Now

      Although it's only like 5:30 or something. Still, long enough for no real changes.

      Absolutely ridiculous scenes.

      Works as a tremendous double-bill with Marquee Moon if you fancy annoying everyone in the pub.

      • I regularly put this

        followed by 'Cop Shoot Cop' on the jukebox in my local when I was a student. Pretty sure they regretted having those songs (or me as a customer)

        Also, The Private Psychedelic Reel
