More on the YMO theme Ninesy. This song is about 30% intro. The drumming by Steve Jansen is incredible.

Love it! Steve Jansen is a great drummer. When I was sixteen I played the album Tin Drum by Japan endlessly. When Japan separated Jansen became a session musician and worked with the late great Yukihiro Takahashi of YMO fame. Wasn't Jansen David Sylvian's brother?

Yeah, he’s Sylvian’s brother. I can’t figure out how he and Takahashi, who I think is another brilliant drummer, very crisp and economical, would work together. Got any links?

The longest intro ever and fantastic. I hope it has not been posted , I am at work so only looked through about half the thread
Radiohead like a long intro
Best thing about that is it leaves less time for the noise
 
Surprised no one has included Beethoven's fifth, this must be the most universally instantly recognised intro of the past 200 odd years and ELO were perfectly set up to take advantage here...
