Right now I'm thinking:Cymande - Dove. 11 minsRare Earth - Get Ready (live). 22 mins (but on -2 at least)Temptations - Papa Was a Rolling Stone. 17 mins.and I was just listening to Tico All Stars - Descarga de cueros, which at 12:30 mins must have the most percussion/cowbell ever committed to wax.

Kraftwerk- autobahn

Eddie Harris-turbulence
Herbie Hancock- every song off of mwadishi
too name a few...
There's this japanese rock band around at the moment called Green Milk from Planet Orange. I saw them play a 1 hr set which I found out afterwards was only 2 songs - 40mins & 20mins. They're gonna have to fix that.
I think that's "Oh Yeah"
Definetely all things Fela and Pharoah. "Creator" is the bomb, but don't sleep on "Elevation". I love when they get back to the initial theme after the freeform part ??? beautiful!!
Also a lot of Miles' stuff from 68-75, especially a track like "He Loved Him Madly" from "Get Up With It". 26 minutes of pure pleasure.
Herbie Hancock "Sextant". The whole LP. Nice and shroomy long tracks.
My Can collection is crap, but "Animal Waves" from "Saw Delight" is long-ass fiyah IMO.
Donny Hathaway's live version of "The Ghetto"
Isaac Hayes' live version of "Ain't No Sunshine"
Airto "O Galho da Roseira Part 1 + 2" from "Seeds On The Ground".
luther thomas + the human arts ensemble - Una New York
archie shepp - mama rose
- blas??
byron morris and unity - kitty bey
black renaissance -
saul williams - wine
david porter - hang on sloopy (long version)
rammelzee vs k rob - beat bop
white noise - the visitation
thurston moore - elegy for all the dead rock stars
sun ra - space is the place
SUN RA -SLEEPING BEAUTY!
and anything by the Necks, preferably 'sex' and 'hanging gardens'... 60 mins plus;)
...
Can - Bel Air
Neu! - Fur Immer
Faust - Kraut Rock
loads and loads of disco
Concept albums are the best ones.
h
Close The Crackhouse - Professor X
Iron Butterfly "Inna Gada Davida"
bad cover, great track though.
That's a great choice. Although my first pick would have to be 'Trane's "My Favorite Things". I never tire.
-"Joy"-Isaac Hayes.
-"Brilliant Circles"-Stanley Cowell.
-"The Creator Has a Master Plan"-Pharoah Sanders.
-"Ptah the El Daoud"-Alice Coltrane.
-"Water Torture"-Herbie Hancock (I think, at office right now).
I'll add on more when I get back to the crib.
Peace,
Big Stacks from Kakalak
looks like something I should own
you should. i don't have one for trade right now though.
I am falling for a big trap here, right? You are not really looking for this!?! But If I could unload a copy to you that'll be nice.
But wait, all my copies are in storage in a different country... The only one I have accessible right now is the white label Motown Promo whoch features a long version (8:43) and an edit (6:49) on the A side and the 10:49 instrumental on the flip.

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.
