THIS IS NOT AN EPICS POLL: The 10+ minute long nominations thread, ILM Ballot Poll #58

let's just reconvene for voting in 2 months

get listening everyone

Olivier Messiaen - quartet for the end of time

This one was discussed above, or maybe in the other thread, it consists of separate movements, so it's not eligible.

One change: Darkspace seems to have revised their track numbering - Dark 2.8 seems to have been renamed to Dark 2.1 in Spotify.

Gah, couldn't really take part in the noms process as I was too busy to make a trawl through my records (and I have a terrible memory), so hopefully you all will have done a good job at this. The only things I can think of I might have added before the deadline were a Cromagnon song I probably wouldn't even vote for and more Cecil Taylor + Sun Ra. But I bet I've forgotten something incredibly important.

i will forever be indebted to this thread for introducing me to the 10+ minute "disco" version of Here Come the Night by the Beach Boys, which is so wonderfully awful, it might be the greatest thing ever.

That was my nomination. It is funny reading about the history of that disco version. The way I remember it, they released a shorter version first, most fans hated it, then they put an extended version on the album. It was regarded as an example of them trying to be hip a couple years after a trend was at its hottest.

The original was a couple of albums old when the disco remix happened

There's as many as 4 disco versions, Light Album version is the longest. I didn't mean to say the fans hated the Wild Honey version, but the earlier disco versions and the later ones were longer.

STILL NOT AN EPICS POLL - VOTING THREAD, ENDS MARCH 28

Valet, "Blood Is Clean" ("North," another track on the album Blood Is Clean, is 13:07, but the title track is 4:59)
