I was just wondering this, does anyone know if any NZ band or artist has ever released a double-album? I can't think of anyone but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened.
ive got records of 3 double albums - all from recent experimental/underground outfits:
teen x-rays - joys of pig hunting
cja - the tank
witcyst - they rest not
of course its a bit harder to track these days, as a double album is essential an album over 45minutes (with the difference between CDs and records and all). i wouldn't be suprised if there wasn't a double album from the likes of 70s prog or psych bands like ticket, ragnorak etc...
I wouldn't count compilations or live albums as a double album has traditionally been a single body of work that is on too grand a scale to fit on a single LP.
This makes it a very easy case to dismiss compilations as they are hardly a single body of work, but rather a selection of tracks put together by whoever had the idea, or the money, to do it.
Live albums don't count either as they function more as a greatest hits package than anything else - which is only a step away from a compilation.
I also find it hard to include (some) CDs that run over the old 43 minute time limit of vinyl as a lot seem to be a case of "let's throw those spare tracks on as well cos we've still got 37 minutes of blank disc left" rather than "all these songs I've written that seem connected won't edit down to 43mins"
