Coil - Absolute Elsewhere 00:01 (one second of silence) on the remixed and rerecorded CD edition, 00:00 on the original vinyl edition of 'How To Destroy Angels'! (a grooveless side of the vinyl)... can't be beaten, unless you consider it is not a track of course! : ) Nurse With Wound - Salt Marie Celeste 1:01:58 ! a dark ambient track-album that would perfectly suit a movie... it is bound to give you pictures in your head, and one of the few tracks i can consider as scary. i don't know if it's because it has been compared to Garvin Bryars' 'Raising The Titanic', but it makes me feel like i'm diving alone in a dark underwater pit, and there is a big decaying shipwreck... i come closer to it, exploring it, then i realise that i'm lacking of air and that there are creepy weird animals around me - will i die here?... maybe that legendary kraken would appear, it wouldn't be out of place... the track itself barely evolves through the hour it lengths, but the ambiance it gives is so strong it is never boring. |

theres some john cage piece that goes for 30 hours.... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
there's one which is going on for 500 years i think. we're 2 years in! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, ... but of course it is very doubtful anyone will finish playing the track, people will just forget about it and die! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or someone will lose their place in the music and have ot start again. bummer. |
||||||||

I have made the longest peice of music in history...made with the world as my instrument...the tune is played out organically and technologically...one day it will finish although the ending is not yet finished... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, the longest piece of I've heard is either Echoes by Pink Floyd, or Suppers REady by Genesis... both are around 23 minutes, although I'm not sure which one takes it... not sure about the shortest... maybe Bit4 by Aphex Twin... |

Supper's Ready: 22:57 Echoes: 23:27 Echoes wins!! |

You should definately check out: Ester Brinkmann - 19'50'' Surely one of the best Thomas Brinkmann tracks. really sad track, especially if you know who ester brinkmann was. oh and it's 19m 50s... |

GAS makes some really good long tracks. favs are #2 and #3 on Zauberberg and #5 on Königsforst |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
...Ester or Thomas? will try to check it out thanks : ) |
||||||||

Strange that Coil and Nurse With Wound get lots of mentions around, but Current 93 are regularly ignored... Shortest? Ohhh fuck knows...longest I own is probably Merzbow's "Charcoal Grey Clouds" at 43:58. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, thanks... both are great songs though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh, seems I crossed the 9000 point barrier!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
purlieu > i know i need to check out Current 93! all i managed to find for now was a track called "Maldoror Falling"... not very impressive, i don't think it is representative... |
||||||||

Current 93 is pretty varied. The earlier stuff is pretty industrial, with a lot of scary vocals and such. More in line with Coil/NWW than the later stuff...David Tibet then went into doing a lot of what's referred to as 'apocolyptic folk'. It's quite folky in instrumentation, but very dark and fucking weird. Tibet's voice is definitely an acquired taste. Then the latest stuff has been sort of...poetry and stories to music. 'Soft Black Stars', for instance, is all piano, musically. There isn't really much that could give you a good example of all of C93's work, though... |

|
|
thanks... any recommendations? (have you heard their cooperation album with NWW, Bright Yellow Moon? it wasn't the only one i know) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the artists name is Thomas Brinkmann , but he's under the alias Ester Brinkmann on that track(which was his sisters name, before she passed away) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can't say this to many times: if you like good music, check out GAS--very emotional, ambienty kind of stuff. Zauberberg and Königsforst are the best albums... peace |
||||||||

C93 recommendations? For their earlier stuff... 'Killykillykilly' and 'Falling Back In Fields Of Rape'... for their apocalyptic folk stuff... 'This Carnival Is Dead And Gone', 'In The Heart Of The Wood And What I Found There' and 'All The Stars Are Dead Now'... for their latest stuff... 'The Signs In The Stars', 'Immortal Bird' and 'I Have A Special Plan For This World'. A variety of stuff there, I think... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And no, I haven't heard that one...there's so much C93 stuff around that it's easy to miss one or two. I only have a few albums anyway, so... |
