can u beat Purple Rain

Cerrone's Supernature comes close, but it's only really the last QUARTER of the last song on side 2, "Love is the Answer", when it just explodes into the far reaches of great

Don't ever leave me
Say you'll always be there
All I ever wanted
Was for you
To know that I care

Motorpsycho - Timothy's Monster.
ends with "the Golden Core" (13 mins). i was totally blown away 1st time i heard it...

― willem (willem), Friday, 23 May 2003 08:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes - Tormato => w/ "On The Silent Wings Of Freedom" (best song of all their 76-80 output)

Led Zeppelin 4 => w/ "When The Levee Breaks"

Blur - Leisure => w/ "Wear Me Down"

MBV - Loveless => w/ "Soon"

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Friday, 23 May 2003 09:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm trying to remember the sequencing on various editions in various countries, but wasn't the last track on Leisure actually Sing? I really can't remember.

But that actually would make a really great closing track, come to think of it.

Predictable rockist answer = _I Am The Resurrection_ on the first Stone Roses album, especially with the false ending and everything. False endings on album closers are always worthy.

In the Court of the Crimson King, suckahs! A couple of astonishing Michael Giles fills, Fripp playing protopunk power chords, Ian MacDonald going nuts on a calliope, and no singing from Greg Lake! AWSOME!

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Friday, 23 May 2003 09:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Kate, on my edition, "Sing" is exactly on the middle of Leisure. I own (if I'm not mistaken) the current european release.

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Friday, 23 May 2003 09:22 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, cause I had a weird version taped for me by someone else which would explain what Sing was doing at the end.

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 09:25 (twenty-two years ago)

God, I forgot all about Loveless ending with Soon. That is, in that case bar none the best final track on any album.

― M Carty (mj_c), Friday, 23 May 2003 09:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I love the way the Liars album ends, but then I'm perverse.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Friday, 23 May 2003 09:35 (twenty-two years ago)

no wait, i love how massive attack's 'protection' drops a totally stoned, tossed-off, minimal cover of "light my fire" at the end. with fake crowd noise.

Actually good hidden tracks at the end of an album R0X0R!!

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Friday, 23 May 2003 10:23 (twenty-two years ago)

(We did this, but the problem with hidden tracks is... no one noticed it was there.)

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 10:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I had owned Pet Shop Boy's "Very" for quite some time, and I never noticed there was a hidden track. Then one day, I was listening on the record while lying on my bed, being quite tired.. the last song ends.. nothing but silence.. I'm beginning to fall asleep.. THEN THE HIDDEN SONG BEGINS! I almost got an heart attack! I guess you could call that an incredible ending, even though the song itself is quite lame.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 23 May 2003 10:29 (twenty-two years ago)

That song is called Postscript, and is, in fact, very lame.

Kate, let me just ask you this:
"(We did this, but the problem with hidden tracks is... no one noticed it was there.)"

"We" who? Were you in a band? What band? Can it be possible that you are in fact muse Kate Hadley of Spaceman fame? Or am I just making this out of my tortuous mind? ;)

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Friday, 23 May 2003 10:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Sigh.

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 10:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I just HAD to ask...

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Friday, 23 May 2003 11:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Spiderland by Slint did it for me for a while. The whole 'I MISS YOU' thing really made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and the guitar sound is just unbeleivable. There was a Man or Astro man alubum that had a mystery track waaaaay after the final track that just said (in redneck type voice) "what y' waitin around for boy. There ain't no mystery track on this durn CD". Made me laugh. Once. I also always wished that Days in the wake by Will Oldham ended on the line 'when was the first time you realised the next time would be the last time' but it doesn't so I'll shut up.

― Neil Simpson, Friday, 23 May 2003 11:56 (twenty-two years ago)

you've REALLY put yr foot in it there, JP

i noticed it, kate. it's actually one of the best tracks...

I didn't mean to offend or pry into anyone's private life... but I really was curious!! Kate is one of my favourite "members" of ILM, and I had this doubt for some time, because of her love for Spaceman 3 related projects. Sorry, Kate, if I somehow hurt your feelings with my shallow curiosity. I'll buy you a shellfish dinner the next time you come to Portugal, ok? ;)

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Friday, 23 May 2003 12:09 (twenty-two years ago)

It's OK, JP. It was a joke that was funny the first, oh, ten or twenty times that I heard it. I've been on Spiritualized and Spacemen3 mailing lists for years now, and every time, someone has to make the joke. I'm not Kate Radley. Sorry.

(And if I really *were* Kate Radley do you think I would be messing about on messageboards, or would I be peddling my sorry ass back to Jason as fast as humanly possible, crying "I'm SOOOOO sorry that I ruined your life and destroyed your band with my evil soul-destroying meddling ways!!!" ???)

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 12:15 (twenty-two years ago)

And there should really be a wink on that post to prove that I'm not hurt. ;-)

(My god, I am turning into Ned today! What DID you put in those Quickspace compilations, Ned?)

― kate, Friday, 23 May 2003 12:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, damn. I really didn't know it was a recurring theme, and it really WASN'T a joke! Given the number of personalities that ILM has in its board, I thought it really could be a reasonable possibility... (It was very silly of me, wasn't it? Shit.)

So, on with the thread...

'The Waltz' on Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys.

― rw, Friday, 23 May 2003 13:38 (twenty-two years ago)

The "Mashin' on the Motorway" -> "Blood on the Motorway" -> "You Can Never Go Home Again" -> "Letter from Home" closing sequence on DJ Shadow's Private Press seriously does a number on me, and is one of the few albums released recently that has such an amazing clear ending that I don't even think about putting in another CD until about 2 minutes of silence have passed, like I'm letting it soak in.

Also, Squirrel Nut Zippers' Hot ending with that instrumental (forgot the name) that sounds like the soundtrack to riding in a big bucket going straight down a well at warp-speed en route to a fiery red brick & brimstone cartoon-stylee HELL gets me every time. Classic ending to a classic album.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 23 May 2003 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, those Tibetan monk things totally killed Ill Communication. I don't think I've managed to listen to that thing all the way through since like ninth grade. The 14-year-old me knew bullshit the first time he heard it.

"Sympathy" from Sleater-Kinney's One Beat just totally kills me.

― Tom Breihan (Tom Breihan), Friday, 23 May 2003 13:53 (twenty-two years ago)

"Raining in Darling" by Bonnie Prince Billy
It seems too easy, but christ is it astonishing.

― Adam A. (Keiko), Friday, 23 May 2003 14:00 (twenty-two years ago)

the gorgeous flow from "Robotic" to "A Portrait from Space" at the end of Bis' Return to Central is one of the most perfect endings to an album i've ever heard. super blissed out and gorgeous on its own, and if you've got the CD stuck in loop, it also flows back perfectly into the beginning strains of "What You're Afraid Of."

breathtaking. :)

― janni (janni), Friday, 23 May 2003 14:00 (twenty-two years ago)

my copy of the private press has got annoying bonus tracks on and this kills the sequence.

― dog latin (dog latin), Friday, 23 May 2003 14:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Love and Theft has a gut-wrenching ending that gets me every time.

― o. nate (onate), Friday, 23 May 2003 14:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Mitch Easter had this nailed cold in Let's Active: "Counting Down" (Cypress), "Route 67" (Big Plans for Everybody), and "Terminate" (Every Dog Has Its Day).

Also, "International Lover" and "Adore" and "Temptation" shoulda all been said along with "Purple Rain." Isn't Dan Perry up yet?

― Neudonym, Friday, 23 May 2003 15:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Queen "A Night At the Opera" ends with the national anthem played by what sounds like a hundred over dubbed guitars pre-dating Glen Branca by almost a decade. It's perverse and you shouldn't like it but it never fails to send shivers down my spine.

― ss, Friday, 23 May 2003 15:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Listening to the last 2 tracks on Wyclef Jean's The Carnival as you pull up into the driveway of a beach-house and smell/feel that crisp salty ocean breeze after driving 13 hours through Appalachia = FRIGGIN PERRRRRRRRFECT.

janni when i brought my copy of "Return to Central" home and opened it up, i found out it had been mis-packaged and disc 2 was actually something totally different, some kind of bad hip hop!!

Yes on 'Finisterre'. also

'Speedway', off Vauxhall and I. I love the chainsaw.

― derrick (derrick), Monday, 3 May 2004 06:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Master of Puppets..."Damage Inc." Gives me chills every time, as cheesy as that sounds. Also "Raining Blood" on Reign in blood.

Nirvana's Unplugged in New York, "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" ends the performance with a real sense of emotion and finality.

Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" (from The Downward Spiral), for the same reason.

"Gouge Away" on Doolittle by the Pixies, because the song just kicks ass.

The Clash, "Garageland" (though I don't recall if its the final track on the UK version).

Sonic Youth, "Eliminator Jr." from Daydream Nation, because it's so rediculous it rocks.

"Soon" on My Bloody Valentine's Loveless. Just perfection topping off perfection.

Black Flag, "Damaged I" from Damaged. Just sooooo fucking heavy.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Monday, 3 May 2004 07:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Throwing Muses' first album ends with "Delicate Cutters," the last line of which is "opening the doors." It's as if you've just been set free.

Also "Afterhours" from the third VU album.

_In Sides_ - "Out There Somewhere"
_Miss Happiness_ - "Factory"

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 3 May 2004 15:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Pain of Salvation's Remedy Lane ends with the strongest, most intense song on the album.

― uh, Monday, 3 May 2004 15:25 (twenty-one years ago)

That "frou frou foxes" song at the end of _Heaven or Las Vegas_ has some sublime moments. Come to think of it, most of what I like in that album is on side B.

― Collardio Gelatinous (collardio), Monday, 3 May 2004 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

"Ocean Rain" from "Ocean Rain" by Echo and The Bunnymen. Red wine and a warm summer breeze through the front room window heightens the effect somewhat. Recumbent upon a second-hand (or possibly third-hand) sofa. Maybe that's just me. Dinner time! Woof!

― Matt Thurgood (Matt T), Monday, 3 May 2004 16:32 (twenty-one years ago)

This is, without a doubt, THE GREATEST ENDING TO ANY ALBUM EVER!!!:

[applause]

"Thank you lads."
"well, we seem to have a bit of a problem here, we... we have a landlady that doesn't like this music."
"No I don't."
"Well, so, we definitely knew that... so... it doesn't mean to... so I apologize... it's really embarrassing, but I'm sorry about this. Some people just don't have the ability to [unintellibgible]"
"I'm sorry lads. Thank you, but I'm not enjoying it."
"I'm not being like anything, am I? Am I being rude? I'm not, am I?" Alright. So, it's fine. [unintelligible]"

[laughing, then a big applause]

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Monday, 3 May 2004 18:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Second-best ending to any album ever: "That's right, don't go chewing now!! (cymbal crash)" from the Super Furry Animals' Guerrilla

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Monday, 3 May 2004 18:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the last few seconds of New Order's Brotherhood: orchestral swell, scratch, needle hop, "thank you byebye." I leapt at my turntable the first time I heard it.

"Radio City" ends well..."I never thought this could happen to me." Too late, it already did.

"A Tribute to Jack Johnson," Miles, also has a cool ending, the spoken bit..."I'm black all right; I'll never let them forget it."

'Good Night' to close The White Album - I'm a sucker for the quasi-Mancini feel of the song and the whispered 'good night' at the end

the dare-you-to-blink last track on the 1st Liars record

― Simon H. (Simon H.), Friday, 31 March 2006 11:10 (nineteen years ago)

I hadn't really read much about that new liars album before I heard it, so that last track totally knocked me over, the chage of pace just comes from nowhere.

I'll second the metal box nomination too. actually I like "end credits"-type finishes - metal box, first two eno albums, exterminator by primal scream.

The Soft Parade - The Doors "When i was back there in seminary school..."

Muswell Hillbilly -- The Kinks

Ten Convictions -- Barkmarket (Vegas Throat)

― christoff (christoff), Friday, 31 March 2006 13:31 (nineteen years ago)

the kinks -- phobia

totally dull record, which was certainly not unexpected from the kinks in 1993. but the final track "scattered" is so far beyond everything that comes before it on the record, almost on a par with anything on muswell hillbillies. come to find out ray davies actually wrote it in the early 70s and had been holding it back.

The Kinks did something similar at least once before. Their 1981 album Give the People What They Want is mostly bland FM arena rock, but the album ends on the terrific "Better Things," which outshines the rest of the LP easily. It's also one of the few post-1972 Kinks songs that has been covered by others (Frank Black, Fountains of Wayne, and Marky Ramone, to name three).

I like the single sustained piano note at the end of We're Only In It For the Money better than the closing chord at the end of Sgt. Pepper that it's supposed to evoke/parody. "The Chrome Plated Megaphone of Destiny" is one of FZ's best (compositions? tape constructions?) ever, creepy as hell.

The brass band bit at the very end of Jim O'Rourke's Bad Timing LP is pretty cool. I especially like how it's much much louder than everything else on the whole record, so you have to run over to your stereo and turn down the volume before anybody starts yelling.

grandaddy - the sophtware slump
gy!be - yanqui u.x.o.

the cure - pornography seconded
BOTH Secret Machines albums, ESPECIALLY NHIN ('Allll theeeese woooords...')

― David A. (Davant), Monday, 29 January 2007 04:55 (nineteen years ago)

Urge Overkill - Exit The Dragon - "Digital Black/Epilogue" - Great epic ballad about Selena!

Stereolab - Sound-Dust - "Suggestion Diabolique" and "Les Bons Bons Des Raisons" My favorite ending to a Stereolab album!

The last few tracks on Swervedriver's Ejector Seat Reservation are genius.

mr bungle - disco volante AND california. the closing moments of the closing tracks on both are astonishing.

― m the g (mister the guanoman), Monday, 29 January 2007 10:01 (nineteen years ago)

some of my choices:

converge - jane doe (as epic as the band ever got, the 'lost in you like saturday nights' bit is also as genuinely moving as they've ever been)
the cure - untitled (sounding soul-baringly sincere, deflated, and vital all at once)
pink floyd - echoes (when the song begins the record is admittedly nowhere near ending, but the song ebbs and winds towards a glorious finale)
yes - heart of the sunrise (nuff said)
nick drake - from the morning (a beautiful and strangely uplifting closure to a record that's almost uniformly bleak)

― beaux knee (boney), Monday, 29 January 2007 14:16 (nineteen years ago)

"The Flex and the Buff Result," the last track on Lifter Puller's 'Fiestas + Fiascos,' is so excellent; it gives a menacing and ambiguous ending to the loose narrative (of the Nice Nice club) that has run through the album.

(Dwight was pretty nice when he took out that loan from us;
now Dwight don't got the courtesy to pick up the phone for us.
He made a joke and leaned in close and then he spoke, he said:
'I want Night Club Dwight dead in his grave...
I want The Nice Nice up in blazes.')
