Also, was looking at my early 80s rap, but most of them seem to manage about 6-8 mins. Rapper's Delight is 15 mins though! If I lived in a cave for 15 years and emerged to find a party going on with DJ playing this, I'd love it. Until then, it doesn't make the list.
I noticed they haven't put a biography up just yet so let me breakdown the group in Guzzospeak, Godspeed You Black Emperor is a collective of Canadians who do a style of music that has been labeled as "post Rock" mostly instrumental with selected additions of tape loops and spoken word bits collected from crazy homeless folks, and political extremists. The music itself is heavy on strings (group includes an entire string section) as well as electric guitar, drums, and bass.
The basis for their music comes from thier political philospohy of complete anarchy, yet their music is incredibly structured and builds to amazing crecendos before going into freak-out territory.
Think lullaby music soaked in aggressive acid.
Sounds like something I'd really like. I've heard the name many times but never bothered to listen.
the blood-shittin-face-melting title track off of this LP, shit, the drum break alone clocks in at about 7 minutes...its "nubian lady" btw... I aint an expert in flash phtography.
Why you gotta steal mine?
Oh, well. I've always loved "Martin's Funeral" by Badfoot Brown and the Bunions Bradford Funeral & Marching Band.

if you like GYBE you should peep Do Make Say Think:
they're another Canadian collective loosely connected with GYBE. similar in some aspects, but better in my opinion. more psychedelic...two drummers and shit. here's an mp3: Fredericia
i wish all good soul songs were around 10 mins like this one and had similar arrangements. everything is top notch! exept maybe the echoes used on the drums in 2 shorter parts of it... but who gives a damn anyways when everything else in it is incredible?
wanted to mention some classic electro but most tracks i liked were around 7-8 mins

SuperRapin (The Original) is over 12 minutes I think Commnity People Education Rap is over 10 aren't some of the Count Cool Out twelves over 10?
just under 10: T.Ski Valley - Catch The Beat (9:26) Hurt 'Em Bad - Monday Night Football (9:45) K-9 Corp - Dog Talk (9:35)
More looooooong-playing old school twelves:
Family - Family Rap 10:00 CC Crew - CC Crew Rap 10:00 Jimmy Spicer - Super Rhyme's Rap 15:30 Funky Four Plus One More - Rapping and Rocking the House 16:00 Sicle Cell & Rhapazooty - Rhapazooty in Blue 16:08
I have a lot of others that are in the ten-minute ballpark but without times on the labels.
There are so many i could mention but these come to mind Isaac hayes "Do your thing" (shaft lp) Manuel Gottsching-e2e4 Kongas-Africanism Gill scott heron-The bottle (guanguanco live version) Pink Floyd-echoes Herbie hancock-I though it was you (directstep lp) Mc Fadden White head-Aint no stopping us now Gap Band-U dropped a bomb on me (Banned from airply during the gulf war)
Pretty much any indian classical lp (Ravi Shankar,Alla rahka etc)
Does fela have a song under 10 mins?

Here are some more:
-"Gula Matari"-Quincy Jones. -"One Nation Under a Groove" 12"-Funkadelic. -"La Nevada"-The Gil Evans Orchestra. -"Concierto de Aranjuez"-Miles Davis. -"Freedom Flight"-Shuggie Otis. -"All Day Music"-War (on their "War Live" LP). -"The World is a Ghetto"-War. -"Butterfly"-Herbie Hancock.
it's a croatian singer-songwriter guy with two long prog-folk hammond heavy jams on this LP from '72. great stuff.., 'dijete zvijezda' ('starchild') is the last track on the album, it sounds kind of like a track from the 'afreaka - demon fuzz' lp.
