Full Length CDs That Contain One Single Track, No Breaks Allowed

keith fullerton whitman- lisbon

that steve reich thing.

There's a Fantomas album that's like this.

Journeys by DJ: Billy Nasty Mix

Vapourspace - Themes from Vapourspace
Vladislav Delay - Anima
Pharoah Sanders - Black Unity

The latter two are "real" one-track albums, meaning that they actually have just one long tune instead of several tunes mixed/sequenced into one track.

girl talk- night ripper
the-dream- love/hate

Corrupted - Paso Inferior
Corrupted - El Mundo Frio

I think Lovesexy is an especially irritating example of making several tunes into one track, because I don't see any artistic reason for that. The songs are quite different and don't comprise a whole or anything, and the segues that are supposed to tie them together fell kinda artificial. There's even a silence between what would be side A and B on the vinyl, so maybe the CD could have had at least one break there.

Juno Reactor - Luciana

I agree re: Lovesexy, it's just annoying.

Yeah, Prince being really precious. How dare we skip through any of his genius music!

My favoritest:

Merzbow/Pan Sonic - V

I've got a Blast First CD called Nothing Short Of Total War, which is something like 20 songs - Big Black, Band of Susans, Big Stick, Rapeman - and it's just one track, no breaks, no gaps, about 50 minutes long.

Edge of Sanity - Crimson
Francisco López - Untitled #104
Green carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness
Sleep - Jerusalem
Wyrd - Heathen

Mike Oldfield: Amarok. It's all the same "song" though.

Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. - Nam Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo

Devil Doll - The Girl Who Was Death
Devil Doll - Sacrilegium
Their "Dies Irae" is one composition as well, but it's divided into a number of tracks.

Was EoS's "Crimson pt 2" one track as well? I never bothered to check it out.

Sleep - Jerusalem

I seem to recall my CD copy of Jerusalem being broken up into five or six tracks...

I think there are several versions of Jerusalem, some of which come as one long track. I own the Dopesmoker re-release, which also has the whole song in one track but doesn't qualify because of a bonus live song in track #2.

D Generation - Satanic Sketches
TISM - 2pot Screama (a rock opera in one act)

William Basinski has released a whole bunch of 1-track cds.

Paul Schütze - Deus Ex Machina
Morton Feldman - lots of things (Piano and String Quartet and For Samuel Beckett, for a couple)

the necks - almost their entire catalogue

Melvins - Lysol

About 2000000 noise cds.

Sleep - Jerusalem, is several tracks.

But, Sleep - Dopesmoker, is only one. It's the same song I think...maybe slightly longer.

Oh, that was already stated. Damnit.

^^this on cd is one track I think??

The KLF - Chill Out

I'm pretty sure 2Pot Screama is five or six different tracks.

The Orb "The Blue Room" 'single'

Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. - Nam Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo
Isn't this like, most AMT albums?

The KLF - Chill Out

My version has 14 tracks?!

LCD Soundsystem, 45:33

Flux of Pink Indians - The Fucking Cunts Treat Us Like Pricks, although I think it has since been reissued again split into tracks.

My Husker Du Land Speed Record CD is 2 tracks, 1 for each side of the vinyl.

LCD Soundsystem, 45:33

ok the cd version is split into six tracks, wtf. plus an extra three bonus tracks.

Ok, I've got a slightly off-topic question: is there a way of adding breaks to a single track in iTunes? I've downloaded podcasts in the past which have been about an hour long, but they're divided into sections that you can skip to - that's the kind of thing I want to do. At the moment I'm splitting long tracks down using Audacity.

Jim O'Rourke - Happy Days
Eugene Chadbourne Chadbourne Baptist Church

"Clear skin" by Insides. One track, 44 minutes long.

There's about 10 Cecil Taylor CDs that are one single track/piece/performance.

same goes for AMM

Romanthony - Romanworld

merzbow's got a lot:
merzbow/boris - sun baked snow cave
merzbow/carlos giffoni - synth destruction
merzbow/giffoni/o'rourke - electric dress

ricardo villalobos - fizheuer ziheuer
stephen mathieu - on tape
steve reich - music for 18 musicians
john coltrane - ascension
john coltrane - om
sleep - dopesmoker

i feel like there's an art ensemble of chicago album or two that has only one track.

doesn't klaus schulze have some like 55-minute tracks that comprise the entire album?

LaMonte Young - The Second Dream of the High-Tension Line Stepdown Transformer
Morton Feldman - Three Voices (For Joan LaBarbara) (I forget - this might have track indexes for different sections but it's all one piece without breaks)

LaMonte Young - The Second Dream of the High-Tension Line Stepdown Transformer

His Just Stompin': Live At The Kitchen is one track split between two CDs. (And Well-Tuned Piano is presumably 5 or 6 discs.)

I thought of Klaus also...but I am pretty sure there is no one tracked release, there are many many 2 tracked ones.

Orthrelm - OV

john coltrane - om

Oddly enough, the first CD issue of this had two distinct tracks, mimicking the LPs side-one fade-out and side-two fade-in.

Manuel Gottsching - E2-E4

ha i was just abt to say e2-e4. i only have the 12" which splits it in half but surely the cd is all one tune.

My version has 14 tracks?!

Your version is also edited and not released on KLF Communications

Buried At Sea - Ghosts

... or consider this rather fine work

http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/Large/85/873885.jpg

E2-E4 has 9 tracks (or movements, termed to describe the atmosphere)
