that one is 4 CDs isn't it?

Fushitsusha - I Saw It! That Which Before I Could Only Sense. the title track is 90mins long, and i think the whole album clocks in at about 2 hours.

The first 2 Fushitsusha albums are also quite, but I can't rememer exactly how long off the top of my head. But they are both double CDs.

that Ring Cycle (depending on how the conductor paces it) is around 15 hours.. wow. thats one..multiple.. long opera.

As for godspeed, what the hell do you mean? because they are only 5 songs long? well listen here, BUDDY! 5 songs totalling at 75 minutes is not an EP! OKAY! Yes albums (Close to the Edge, for example) have THREE SONGS. so tbpbppbpbbbbbbppbpptbttbtbtpt!

It was a joke.
A comment on their arguably tedious formula.
I myself have included 20+ minute pieces on many of my own releases.
I likes it long.

Yep, 4 CDs, so it arguably breaks the "no box set" rule, but it is 4 CDs of original material.

I think that's acceptable.
Soliloquy For Lilith comes in a box too, but I think the original poster was talking about collections like Nick Drake's "Fruit Tree" and the like.

I'm pretty sure that the CD version of Double Live is nearly two full 80 minute CDs, so around 2 hours 40 minutes. The first one is a good deal shorter, though. Unless I have it backwards.
