This is somewhere else as a thread...I think it's called "Splitting of Songs". Your example Michael, is not quite what the original thread was, but nonetheless very interesting.
Personally, I agree with you on the Clutching At Straws example but do not agree on the Misplaced Childhood one. The first group is one theme, the second group merely runs together.
I liken "Kimono/Kayleigh/Lavender" to "We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions" or "Heartbreaker/Livin Lovin' Maid), which are played together on the radio. They're really three songs each. If you want to get technical, Misplaced Childhood is really two parts, side 1 and 2. I've seen Iluvatar do side 1, and it fits well.
Another one could be the Snow Goose songs by Camel. I'm not sure where we stand on that, but it's been discussed.
On a related note, there are three songs on "Nude" that I will play this week on my show that run together as a theme also. But they are more separate than the Snow Goose ones.
