It's a relatively well known fact that, in spite of being known around these parts for the past few years as The Swede, I am categorically not Swedish. There is, however, a great deal of love in my heart for an ever increasing number of fine bands hailing from said Scandinavian nation. Take Lamagaia for instance. Very little of their splendid catalogue would fail to qualify length-wise as a Monday Long Song - indeed up until the very last moment a 33 minute opus entitled 'Alabamian Horologists' was slated to appear in this spot, but the Can-like grooviness of 'Lamagaius' eventually won the day. I'm particularly partial to the brief whistling solo 8 minutes in.
If you like what you hear, more treasures await on the Lamagaia Bandcamp page, plus there are a total of 24 tunes available to download free of charge directly from the band's website here and here. Dive in.

New to me, thanks for the heads-up.
To these ears, those Swedes seem to have been playing their NEU! albums as well as Can. And now I.m off for some of those free downloads.....
New to me too. Ta.
You've turned me on to plenty of great music over the years Ramone666, I'm glad to be able to return the compliment.
Spot on George. Enjoy!
seven minutes to go............
Haha George. If you're still on 'Lamagaius', the last few minutes can safely be skipped - it's kind of a weird, seemingly unrelated coda to the main part of the tune.
Glad you enjoyed SA.
I made it all the way to the end. You can't skip parts of a track willy nilly!
The Swede not a Swede... shocking. Listen, I'll make time for this long song, as always, but the real winner here is the Richard Dawson album you feature to the right. Floored.
Brian, I'm not sure if I'll manage to get an albums of the year post together for 2019, but if I do you can rest assured that Richard Dawson will feature very near the top. I'm really glad you like it too.
Am right into that. Once again ta Swede
The scales fell from my eyes many years ago when I discovered Spurs centre-half Mike England wasn't English. (He was in fact Welsh).
Listening to the epic Alabama horologist, even better than your offering. a mighty 33 minutes long
after 23 minutes it's running out of steam a bit.......
