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? hs _________________________________________________ they're called "instructions" people. read them.
