I have this affinity for albums where, while they may be split into individual tracks, the tracks seamlessly progress, sometimes with no cue whatsoever between the songs. The cuts can be every 5 minutes with no relation to events in the music, because the artist intends it to be an hour long journey, or otherwise needs that amount of time to get their message across, with no skipping, pausing or jumping.
List some of these long albums! I generally see them called rock-operas, but even works classified this way may have songs, and sometimes sound a lot like rock and opera, like Dream Theater, or Ayreon.
Many artists from genres all over, my favorite being electronic or heavily processed/synthesized music, do this as well. Most ambient works do this album-track thing, as they may be meant to steer the hour of activity in a positive direction during the course.
What is this formally called if it has a name?
List your worthy seamless works!
