The track King-Bird (22:01) is found on the second studio album by the Dutch trio Trace, their 1975 album Birds. It takes up the whole of the second side of the original vinyl album. The track is divided on the album into as many as 19 different sections, some shorter, some longer. The shorter runs are called avenues and the longer ones are given bird names. At the beginning of the track we hear church-like bells, organ, and bird calls in the background. The keyboard (piano,organ,harpsichord, synth), bass and drums instrumental track includes a pop song (Preacher Bird) sung by bassist Iaap van Eick and a track where bass features but no drum solo.
As with so much else, the Beatles were the pioneers. They worked out that by stringing together a series of shorter songs a pleasing longer piece can be assembled. Where they led many others followed.
