Forgot about both The Seer and The Ape Of God. Must get them onto the playlist.

Interesting about the original vinyl thing. I guess this means that in the digital age there really are no double albums at all

Indeed. I was listening to Swans' Live Rope the other day, the opening track alone is 86 mins. long (this was the 'credit card' version), which wouldn't fit on one side of any physical format and kinda brought home how obsolete physical media actually is these days. And yet still we all buy it nonetheless.
