"I can take you to the sun" The Misunderstood.
It's only 2.5 mins, but it feels like five, in a good way.

Gotta be a Bunnymen example, too?
You asked for some pop suggestions:Girls Aloud 'Biology'Fall Out Boy 'This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race'Bomb the Bass 'Beat Dis'pretty much all of 'Paul's Boutique'Outkast 'Bombs Over Baghdad'
It also struck me that this kind of structure has become the default for the big-budget R&B video, i.e. three or four unrelated sections bolted together

one of the tracks on the 2nd side of 'ogdens nut gone flake', i think it's 'mad john', fits this.

"All around the world" has no doors.
Um, will get back.

I'm thinking there's gotta be some examples of this from Spoon.
Pretty much every song on A Series Of Sneaks, I'd say.

Got to be some Sparks songs for this, I reckon, though I can't quite think which.
I like songs that whisk you through disjointed parts, but the thread title seems a little airier than that, like you have space to choose your doors, as opposed to the constrained rollercoaster feel of Cardiacs or all those twisty mathy bands that suddenly let a diminished arpeggio spider up like the whiplash-quick offspring of the bass clarinet throb signalling the shifts in Music for 18 Musicians. I suppose they still fit if the doors of the title are the unconnected succession of identical doors in a cartoon corridor chase. Maybe that's the prog v pop distinction...

Cop Shoot Cop by Spiritualized kind of fits, but at 17 minutes long if it didn't have many doors it'd be dull as fuck.

Glasgow band Lapsus Linguae are pretty good at this sort of thing.

I personally overlooked that Grandaddy song, because the majority of it settles into one groove, but perhaps a case can be made for it seeing as most of the big changes are near the start.
your Spiritualized choice is clearly their best song, "Won't Get To Heaven (The State I'm In"your Six.BySeven choice is...there isn't one. I have all their albums. There isn't one.
I'm not considering something which is at a push a room with just about two doors fwiw. It's gotta be a festival of choices.
Something tells me I might enjoy that Myspace link, cheers!

Louis, buy the album, it's entitled 'You Got Me Fraiche', on Fierce Panda, came out a few years ago.
It's right up your alley.

I've just been reading their website...they seem to be coming from a really awesome place, where intellectual philosophising meets utter mischief. I'll investigate! :)

"Out There" is a great shout, aye. 16 minutes long but that hasn't stopped some of my own recommendations. Maybe something on that Strategy album as well?
