Long one-track songs (preferrably prog rock tunes) like EOS - Crimson?

[batmura]

Recommend me some long one-track tunes in the vein of Crimson... or Green Carnation...

Especially the old 70's prog rock bands...

Thanks!

NP: Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse

 

[COnsiderateApathy]

Pink Floyd - 'Echoes' from the album Meddle.

 

[TheFourthHorseman]

there's always Dream Theater's A Change Of Seasons...and Opeth's Black Rose Immortal.

 

[Staffan]

Green carnation - Light of day, day of darkness
I love this track!

 

[opethpainter]

caravan - nine feet underground [simply unbelievable]
porcupine tree - the sky moves sideways I\II + moonloop

 

[crimsonfloyd]

King Crimson-Lizard
Pink Floyd-Echos
Pink Floyd-Atom Heart Mother Suit
All of which are about 23 minutes long

 

[SpeakUSAorDie]

Cephalic Carnage's -Halls Of Amenti is 19 minutes long. It's more doomy sounding, but still very cool.

 

[Martinus]

Grendel + This strange engine by Marillion

On the next Marillion album there will also be some great long songs with a lot of Rothery solos on them, we got a prewiew at the Marillion Convention a month ago.

"Ritual" and "Gates of delirium" by Yes

 

[Pieless]

Rush - 2112, about 21 minutes, is one of my favorite songs, and the best thing Rush ever did IMO.

 

[Nefilim]

Get Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick album right away, it is the best!

 

[dimensionidol]

rush-cygnus x1 (book one) 11.00 minutes

on a "farewell to kings"

rush-cygnus x1 (book two) 19.00 minutes

on "hemispheres"

a space/ mind odissey....

truly unbelievable...

 

[hornblow555]

Crimson II! (well it'll be indexed, but...)

 

[Ormir]

Mistiggo Varggoth Darkestra - The Key To The Gates Of Apocalypse. 72 minute black metal composition.

 

[starchildo@aol.com]

Get "Relayer" by YES and "Selling England by the Pound" from Genesis. Those are some of the best Ive heard. Then again anything by those bands are good. Especially in the old days.

PROG TO LOOK OUT FOR: long songs are typical of all prog bands

Genesis Spocks Beard
Yes 10,000 other prog metal bands
King Crimson
Kansas
Rush
Journey
Marillion
Styx
Asia
GTR
Saga
old Chicago

I think it's great. It's a side project of Varggoth of Nokturnal Mortum.
