I love some albums ("Screamadelica", the Spiritualized ones) that have long tracks that either build and build, or achieve an hypnotic trance-like groove. But - as with everything in life - sometimes less is more... I've been playing Randy Newman's "Sail Away". Here are the lengths of the twelve (great) songs: 2:56; 2:32; 1:53; 3:01; 2:00; 2:42 2:00; 2:33; 1:56; 1:47; 3:18; 3:36 So, if you're ever on DID and want to hear the whole song played, Randy's yer man. A few other fine albums that clock in at 30 minutes spring to mind - Costello's "My Aim Is True"; "The Ramones"; The Lemonheads' "It's A Shame About Ray". (And my favourite Beatles - "Revolver" - is only 35 mins.) |
