how long should a electronical song last ? a bit weird question, but not necesary stupid. i mean the average song length of a pop song is definately 3.00 - 3.15.
how does it look with electronica ? i want to skip ambient because they are almost always very long, everyone knows why.
and, second question: is there any song you would want to be longer or shorter ??

not all tracks can be very long, but when they can, the longer the better for me!!
i like long tracks (more than 10 minutes long). =)

If I look at a track length and it's 2.5-3.5 minutes, I light up inside. If I see 5 or over, there's a 75% chance I'll be bored of that song after the 4th minute, unless it does something special. It usually doesn't.

When Jarworski bought Plaid's 'Not For Threes', he immediately thought 'Seph' was too short. "Damn." Jarworski thought to himself. "It's too damn good to be that short, if only it was longer!". A few months later, he got Plaid's Peel Session disk, and masturbated all over the carpet!

he also has a dial on his butt like a sprinkler, so you can just lie him in the middle of the room and he pretty much covers the lot

John Cage's ''As Slowly as Possible'' is a bit too long for my tastes.

The optimum length for a song is 17 minutes. For example, Klingklang (17:36) by kraftwerk on the '2'ep. In my experience 17 minutes is long enough to allow for brilliant progressions, but any longer and it ruins it all.
Only 1 song on an lp/ep should be this long, except on a double lp where it is allowable for 2 or maybe 3 in an extreme situation. Failure to comply with these guidelines will probably result in good results also!

the perfect lenght for an electronic song is from 1 sec to 80 minutes, more or less...

never heard that track, nac...
i love the 20 minutes tracks of godspeed, or the lifeforms album that for me is one song each cd...
and i think goon gumpas is the perfect length... like a good short fairytale...

I defy anyone not to agree after listening to "valentine suite" by collesium! prog rock at its best baby! think of classical music as well, that goes on for ages (or does it just seem like that!) no, classical is mostly great. think of bach, most of his better organ pieces are like 10 mins long at least!!!!seriously, long songs are the way to go.
