If I said that, on the album version of Kraftwerk's "Trans-Europe Express", the 48th time the words "Trans-Europe Express" are chanted, you know the seemingly interminable track is reaching its end because, for the first time, all the melodies are played at once, I'm sure you might think I'm an anorak, so I won't say that.
After all, it could be the 47th or the 49th time and hey, who's counting?
Similarly, on the Cranes' "Adoration", when the Cocteauesque yelping over inexorable piano gives way to warbling over Haircut One Hundred's rhythm section, you know the end is near. (I always associate this track with the M40 at Beaconsfield - the end IS near - and was surprised to discover the turning point is as early as 1m40s
NB I like the way that similar topics revolve around Crane Hire!

why not reply to two of my own threads on the same evening?
How about when Trans Europe Express starts playing all three themes together (here at about 5mins in)?
I've not counted the number of times "Trans Rurope Express" is said... I'm not an anorak. Besides, this is only the second and third movements...
