Ennio Morricone 'Invenzione Per John' (9:07)

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Monday, 22 August 2005 20:43 (twenty years ago)

Songs I wouldn't elongate, but usually listen to on repeat:

Big Star - ST 100-6
Big Star - I'm in Love With a Girl
Moby Grape - Naked, If I Want To

― Confounded (Confounded), Monday, 22 August 2005 21:06 (twenty years ago)

Ambulance Blues - Neil Young

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Monday, 22 August 2005 21:09 (twenty years ago)

I would say elongate Red Krayola's "Victory Garden," but G-500 already did it and I still prefer the original..

― poortheatre (poortheatre), Monday, 22 August 2005 21:10 (twenty years ago)

My Way Home w/Kanye and Common.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 22 August 2005 21:11 (twenty years ago)

also, on a more serious note...Ellen Allien's "Open". guess it tends to be the epic tracks that i want more of still

"Ambulance Blues" ...maybe not twice as long, but could get the Gillian Welch's "I Dream A Highway" treatment of just winding down and around longer.

Boredoms - "Super Shine"

― Mark (MarkR), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 02:51 (twenty years ago)

Black Box Recorder b-side "Factory Radio." It's barely 2 minutes long, and I don't think I could ever listen to it less than twice in a row.

roxy music - pyjamarama

Boards of Canada, "Roygbiv"

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 04:10 (twenty years ago)

Pretty much every Meters song, or at least every early Meters song.

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 04:10 (twenty years ago)

Max Tundra, "61over"

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 04:11 (twenty years ago)

Hurting: hence "One Thing", no?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 04:18 (twenty years ago)

Excellent point.

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 04:19 (twenty years ago)

" I was using some of the breakdown parts. Every Jamaican record has a dub side to it. So I just tried to apply that. As the years went along I'm watchin people, waiting for this particular break in it, the rhythm section. One night, I was waiting for the record to play out. Maybe there are dancers waiting for this particular break. I could have a couple more records got the same break in it - I wonder, how it be if I put them all together and I told them: "I'm going to try something new tonight. I'm going to call it a merry-go-round."

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 04:27 (twenty years ago)

'Roygbiv' is the obvious great call!

Laurent Garnier 'Communications From The Lab'

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 09:26 (twenty years ago)

I don't get why everyone loves Roygbiv so much, I think it's one of the weaker and more predictable songs on the albums. I even prefer Kaini Industries to it.

― sickhead, Tuesday, 23 August 2005 09:43 (twenty years ago)

almost every Plaid song

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 09:45 (twenty years ago)

Badmarsh & Shri's Appa

― Arnault (arc73hk), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 10:21 (twenty years ago)

and take me back by Tahiti 80 - this song is so gorgeous, I am sad every time it finishes...
I need a 3min version

― Arnault (arc73hk), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 10:23 (twenty years ago)

sickhead - because it reminds me of The Kids From Degrassi Street, and it's definitely BOC's 'happiest' track.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 10:38 (twenty years ago)

Yes - "5% for Nothing"

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 12:32 (twenty years ago)

Sun Ra and his Myth Science Arkestra, Between Two Worlds

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:10 (twenty years ago)

"Galveston" is too short too.

I wish boredoms' "sea drum" would never ever end.

― bb (bbrz), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:12 (twenty years ago)

I only wish long songs were twice as long.

-- Arnault (arnaul...), August 23rd, 2005.

is this off the first or second album? i love the second.

― piscesboy, Tuesday, 23 August 2005 13:55 (twenty years ago)

I've said this before: War's "Low Rider", with its insanely springy assembly-line rhythm, is perhaps my favourite groove of all time; and if they'd decided to fill an entire LP side with it, that'd be more than fine with me.

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 14:12 (twenty years ago)

Cheap Trick: Come On, Come On

A Moog tribute?

I think I'd add most of the songs on Revolver, especially "Good Day Sunshine."

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 03:36 (twenty years ago)

That's supposed to be John Cage, not John Cale.

Eddie Kendricks' 'Walking in the Rain' should be longer - ideally about 10 minutes longer.

otis redding - "try a little tenderness"

― sean gramophone, Friday, 10 February 2017 09:44 (nine years ago)

been listening to Talk Talk's 'The Colour of Spring' a lot recently. The closing track 'Time It's Time' could go on a lot longer in my opinion.

― Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Friday, 10 February 2017 10:32 (nine years ago)

miley cyrus - 4x4

― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 10 February 2017 10:39 (nine years ago)

I mentioned this in the other thread, but IMO it's ridiculous that Minnie Riperton's "Les Fleur" has one of the best, most gloriously beautiful choruses in all of Western pop music, yet it's played only twice in the entire song before the it fades out!

I also remember being disappointed to learn that there's no extended version of Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman", which at 4 minutes is way too short for such a disco epic. There is a long house remix from the '80s, but that doesn't satisfy the same need, I'm surprised no one has made a proper old-school disco edit of it.

― Tuomas, Friday, 10 February 2017 10:44 (nine years ago)

man like me - chinatown

― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 10 February 2017 11:03 (nine years ago)

anyone know where i can get the stems for Buffalo Stance? I want to make an hour-long remix

― Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Friday, 10 February 2017 11:20 (nine years ago)

There is a long house remix from the '80s, but that doesn't satisfy the same need, I'm surprised no one has made a proper old-school disco edit of it.

It was sampled on Dubtribe's 10m+ 'Do It Now' though (in turn inspiring The Juan Maclean's 'Happy House') - someone has probably put all three in a mix at some point.

― nashwan, Friday, 10 February 2017 12:00 (nine years ago)

"Strawberry skies" by Games is way too short. Needs at least one other rep of the"you can give me everything you got" part (or whatever it is she sings)

Current 93 - "Bind Your Tortoise Mouth"
Robert Pollard - "To The Path"
Robert Pollard - "Cats Love A Parade"

Both the Pollard songs end on a quieter note than I would have liked.

― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 10 February 2017 16:30 (nine years ago)

That entire Games EP for sure

― nashwan, Friday, 10 February 2017 16:33 (nine years ago)

Bowie - 'Chant of the Ever-Circling Skeletal Family'. Always drives me nuts how great a groove that is and how short a time it's actually sustained.

― Likely? No. Possible? Absolutely. Iffy? Can't say. Doubtful? Maybe. (Old Lunch), Friday, 10 February 2017 16:39 (nine years ago)

Rihanna -- "James Joint" but make it 4X
Future feat. Drake -- "Never Satisfied"
Would say Jeezy -- "Win Is a Win" but it does work good as an interlude

Weird minor trend of dope hip hop/R&B tracks being minute-long interludes for whatever reason, basically.
