I once downloaded the incidental music from ABC World News Tonight in 1978, and listened to that for hours. The song is only a minute long, too. It kind of reminded me of Goblin, but more exciting!

these tracks either seem to have insistent/thudding/motorik/etc recurring motifs or just a key change/chorus/half-second of sublimity

This got a lot of repeat play, too, when I found it for download. "Heavy Action" aka the Monday Night Football theme. ABC is good with the thrilling instrumental themes!

This is also a JAM – I found a clip of a girls' school orchestra playing it once:

The first time I heard Madrugada Eterna (the first time I heard anything off Chill-Out), I listened to it like 8 times in a row (and it's an 8+ minute song)

Polmo Polpo's Kiss Me Again and Again, I listened to for like an hour and a half when I first heard it. It's absolutely brilliant.

all the trax I mentioned have moments - timbres, melodies or shifts - that tend towards the indescribable - maybe if they're ever fully worked-out they'll lose their magic

― Cap.Obv (acoleuthic), Sunday, 5 December 2010 01:49 (2 years ago) Permalink

Actually, I got the madrugada Eterna stats wrong, It's 6 minutes, but I think I listened to it 13 or so times.

I alternated the slow version of "Hello It's Me" by the Nazz and the faster Something/Anything? version by Rundgren solo for a couple of hours once this year.

pretty sure hearing any song more than twice in the space of an hour would make me start to hate it

loved both versions more and more as they played on -- the only reason I stopped was I had to leave the house for an appointment.

THe Flamingoes I Only Have Eyes For You not sure how long I left that on for, listening possibly a bit short of when I first got the cd but I think I also was in a bad mood with a neighbour so left it on repeat while I went shopping.

& Sorrow Knows by The later Gun Club which I played for almost an hour if not more when i first discovered it. Lovely song.

& was it Raw Power or more probably Death Trip that I kept repeating when I got the remastered Bowie mix of the Raw Power cd.
