Your favourite prog song at the moment, and why...

because they are awesome! :D

Today I've probably listened to Magma's "Hhai" and "Mekanik Zain".  Just last night I was thinking how I haven't been listening to Magma much lately, and so I opted to put on the Live/ Hhai album and it's Magma obsession all over again.

Generally I do listen to full albums more, though.

Other tracks that I'll mention that I've really loved over the last year (in no order of preference):
U Totem - "One Nail Draws Another", "Vagabond's Theme," and "Both Your Houses."
Zao - "Isis" and Shardaz""
Robert Wyatt - "Little Red Riding Hood Hit the Road" (both parts).
Picchio dal Pozzo - "Metanoia..." and "I Problemi..", "La Floricultura...,"  "Il Presidente..."
Eskaton - "Dagon," "La Danse des Feux," "Ecoute"
Present - "Le Poison Qui Rend Fou" (both parts), "Promenade"
Art Zoyd - "Musique pour l"Odyssee" and "La Ville"
Henry Cow - "The Decay of Cities," Beautiful as the Moon," "War"
Art Bears - "The Song of Investment Capital Overseas" and "Winter/War/Force/Three Figures"
Paga - "Mitchinoku" and "Une Parcelle d'Urantia"
Hoyry-Kone - "Karhunkaato," "Laina Ajalla" "Luottamus"
Vortex - "Haroun'..." and "Progomnes"
Koenjihyakkei - "Wammilica Iffirom" and "Graddinoba Revoss"
Comus - "Drip Drip," "Song to Comus"
Gong - "Isle of Everywhere," "Zero the Hero," "Other Side of the Sky"
Pascal Duffard - "Etre" (whole album really)
Yugen "la Rovine Circolari"
etc.

As I do tend to focus more on albums than individual songs, some of these are questionable in the list (ones where I would rather just listen to the whole album, but there are some standouts for me here).

Frank Zappa, Dirty Love

It won't last long, but I have had to watch myself last week from unconsciously singing about nasty poodles in the office.

King Crimson: Islands

Because it is hauntingly beautiful. Period.

Solar Musick Suite - Steve Hillage

"Idle End" by Nosound

Muse-Knights Of Cydonia.

I've been listening to the opening track from Stormy Six's not-all-that-brilliant Al Volo. The thumping, growling bassline is pure Les Claypool and the arrangement is just perfect. The album as a whole is something of a let-down, mind you.

I'm also spinning Cardiac's new single Ditzy Scene whenever possible. It is good.

In Death - Is Death by Meshuggah.

I wish I knew why I like it so much.
