these two tracks come to my mind:
frankie goes to hollywood "rage hard (slam blam)" (ztt) 1986
a 12-minute track, the first half of which discusses how a 12"
is built up (let me take you on a tour of the 12"). second half
is the pop song. very cheeky.
danny tenaglia "elements (the dtour)" (twisted) 1997
a deep house track with a male voice commenting whats going on
musically (i'm gonna take you on a tour of the 12"). really
quite similar to (and the reason i remember the) fgth-track.
this one's 13 minutes long, though.
btw, there are two versions of "lesson 6" on the jurassic 5 album
(rumble/pias), "the lecture" and "(reprise)" (if i remember correctly).
have you got both?
