One-track albums with a looooong running time

[batmura]

Stuff like Edge of Sanity - Crimson.

Older stuff from the 70's prog rock scene would be even better...

Any recommendations?

NP: Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse

 

[no country for old wainds]

That Green Carnation album that I want, but don't have.

 

[Alex78]

Fredrik Thordendals Special Defects....but thats neither EoS style nor Prog rock

 

[diospada]

check out cd 2 of dream theater's six degrees of inner turbulence..........

 

[Fervisson]

Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick
Jethro Tull - A Passion Play
Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness

Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence's second disc if you count that.

 

[ChrisEmerson]

yeh DT should have kept it as 1 track rather than splitting it up like that :/

 

[opethpainter]

EOS - crimson
fates warning - a pleasant shade of gray
evereve - seasons
devil doll - everything from the official discography

 

[IanDork107]

Echolyn - Mei

 

[PeeWee1473]

Actually, I think it's really fucking stupid when a band does that. I have Pain of Salvation's Perfect Element and get really pissed off when I'm trying to listen to it and something happens where I have to stop the CD and can't get back to the spot I was at without fast forwarding for like 10 minutes. They really should break up the tracks. It's not like the whole CD sounds the same, it's still different themes at certain time points. Pain in the ass.

What? Perfect Element isn't a one-song album or anything

 

[Sóti]

Yes- Close to the edge
porcupine - the sky moves skyways

 

[PeeWee1473]

What? Perfect Element isn't a one-song album or anything /forum/images/smilies/confused.gif

Yeah....but it IS a one track album. That's what I was complaining about.

Greeeeeeeeaaaaaattttttt cd's

Listening to that PT disc right now

 

[Demonspell]

SMS isn't a one-track album, but in the great prog tradition it has three side-length tracks...

 

[OrestesMantra]

Green Carnation: Light of Day, Day of Darkness is an amazing album.

erm, why not just pause the song rather than stop it? sorry but this seems really obvious..

Sorry,but it sounds a lot more like you're complaining about the concept since the album isn't only one song...
If you have to stop the cd you can just skip to the track you were listening to,obviously you have to do that with ANY cd. And besides,The Perfect Element is the only song that is even over 10 minutes long,and even that one with only 9 seconds. Kind of hard to fast forward 10 minutes. Quit complaining and go listen to the fucking cd. Also you should check your cd player's manual and look up how to use the pause button.

Thick as a Brick from Jethro Tull. The best 70's prog album ever. Just my opinion, don't shoot me!

There's also that Explorer's Club CD that's available through Magna Carta. Age of Impact I believe it's called? The lineup is a veritable who's who of the prog rock scene. Dream Theater, Fates warning, Royal Hunt, Magellan, Yes, etc... all contribute to that album. It's AWESOME and I suggest you give it a listen.

Does Thick As A Brick from Jethro Tull have any track breaks or is it one complete song like Crimson?

NP: Eternity X - The Edge
