Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 The practice album of segues is one of my favorite features of the art rock concept album that began in the late Sixties. I'm a sucker for the experimental approaches used to bring songs together; or for taking song fragments that didn't need to be fleshed out, but worked great as part of a sound collage. Many of my favorite albums employ this. Anyone else have a fascination with this device? What are your favorites? I'll start with the most famous and brilliant album examples to get the ball rolling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 31, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 good morning > sgt pepper reprise > day in the life Yessssss! One of the first album seques I'd ever heard. Even as a 9 year old, I remember it made a huge impression on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members claytonjohn18 Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 I wouldn't say I'm obsessed, but an album with poor flow from song to song pisses me off. It's not that hard. Key change between songs? Deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 31, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 Never heard of this before. I'm listening now on YouTube. I love the French animated movie Fantastic Planet, so I was expecting something quite different - more space rock. Reminds me a bit of Foo Fighters, QOTSA, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key change between songs? Deal with it. I agree, though I feel the examples I've posted have both great flow from song to song, and seques to boot.

Members goodhonk Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 this one's great, but probably not fit the blokes round here. it was recorded in one day, everyone playing together in the studio. tim's voice is thrashed by the last track. great album.

Members Facing Failure Posted March 31, 2010 Members Share Posted March 31, 2010 {censored}. Yes. One of my favorite albums ever. And easily some of the best segues of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
