jff Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Yeah, I suppose I agree The Chain doesn't really fit now that I reread the original post. If I recall, the part that starts with the unaccompanied bass was supposed to be another song, but they tagged it onto the end of what we now know as The Chain, making it sort of suite-like to my ears, but not to the criteria of this thread.

Wild Frank Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Sorry to come across all Proggy (We love a bit of Prog in the UK) but: 'Supper's Ready' by Genesis (23 minutes and nine distinct sections). What a tune!. 'Cinema Show is another Genesis which applies. Also, how about 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond'. It flows perfectly but, technically, its broken down into invididual segments. Recently, how about 'The Island' by The Decemberists. Great song in three parts. Saying that you could also add 'The Tain' and even 'Hazards of Love' in here as one 'suite'.

What a tune!. 'Cinema Show is another Genesis which applies. i mentioned supper's ready earlier ... originally written as nine separate pieces, banks & gabriel fused 'em all together and wound up with a classic. gabriel wanted to get rid of the organ solo in 9/8 and for that i will never forgive him. the build-up from the organ solo to "six-six-six is no longer alone .... " is one of the most powerful passages in pop music. a fucking masterpiece. cinema show though ... really just a conventional pop song with a lunatic synth solo at the end, right? tony banks is the greatest musician who ever lived Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or, alternatively 'Domino' off the Invisible Touch album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
