The title song on one of my favorite albums, Larks Tongues in Aspic by
King Crimson, may fit the bill (I'm not sure since I missed the
original request; this piece is worth mentioning anyway...).  Larks
Tongues in Aspic part I is about 6-7 minutes long and is followed by a
coda that is pretty much intrinsic to the piece (another 2 or 3
minutes).  While the duration of the entire thing isn't up to the two-
side songs already mentioned in this news group, the range of dynamics
(and, as far as I'm concerned, range of imagination) far exceeds
any of the others.  It is at times *extremely* energetic, and abrasive,
and at other times exceedingly graceful.  The song (and album) stand as
an archetype, for me, of good progressive/experimental rock music, and
I've rarely found anything in that vein to compare.

If anyone out there has similar sentiments, or suggestions about other
music along these lines, I'd like to hear about them.
