I'll go for The Blue Room, please. This loopy Tibetian thing is just silly.

I remember hearing about this about a year ago on my ssx forum. Interesting concept, music for the slugs.
Speaking of long songs, I know this is not as impressive but the first song that came to mind was the japanese electronic rock act Buffalo Daughter '303 Live' (It's not a live recording) clocking 20:05. still, I saw them play it live at fuji 04....that was just a little weird......they extended it to 30 minutes. And that being on an album with 3 tracks longer then 8 minutes.

Actually there's an album called Amarok by Mike Oldfield which on CD is one track and just over 60mins long. Tubular Bells is under 50 if I remember rightly.
I think Blue Room by The Orb is still officially recognised as the longest single ever released at 39.59mins long. The BPI won't allow a single to be over 40mins apparently.
