* EndingFatigue: Increasingly so as the project continues, Jandek will indulge in a particularly extended jam, such as "The Electric End" from 1992's ''Lost Cause,'' a brutal noise-fest that goes on for nearly 20 minutes. Some of the acapella recordings from the turn of the millennium could surpass even that. There's a ''nine-hour album'' that was released in 2013 titled ''The Song Of Morgan,'' which is entirely instrumental and made up of solo piano, and this was shortly followed by a six-hour album released in 2014 entitled ''Ghost Passing,'' which is entirely solo piano plus theremin (and occasional vocal).
