Alan 'Fluff' Freeman did this sort of thing really well in the seventies. He had a jingle that opened his Saturday afternoon prog rock programme that included ELP 'Karn Evil 9 1st Impression Pt2' ,Edgar Winter Band 'Frankenstein', the 1812 overture and Offenbachs 'The Galop' (othewise known as the music for the Can-can). It was wonderfull! |

... and Sabbath's Laguna Sunrise as background music for listeners' poetry. Fluff was the man, not 'arf!

Hi,
Neither!
I would rather be totally surprised by what is played and have no idea of what it is!
It gets you pumped, excited, and ... you go searching for it!
That is, what music is all about!
The worst thing that you can do is play up to an audience and think this is what they want ... how do you know? Are you smart and they stupid? Don't they have a taste of their own?
So, you see ... that is my problem with radio ... the idiocy that someone has a greater ego and "knows" something that you and I do not know -- and that today, we would be too stupid to play something that simple and easy ... and ignore hundreds of thoussands of other CD's of music out there that also deserve the ear and the play!
The last show I did was "The Space" and it was on the air for 3 years and I opened it with Jan Garbarek -- and I have to look at it to list the cut -- and I can not even tell you the sequences for the next hour. I think there was Djam Karet, Ozric Tentacles, Terje Rypdal, Mother Gong, ... gosh I'm embarassed ... I can't t remember what I played now! I put together over 100 hours of music, not a single repeat EVER, and did whole band expose's ... I had shows for Duncan Brown, Family/Streetwalkers, Hawkwind, Nektar, Man (with Martin's approval -- he even said ... gosh, I haven't heard that in a long time!), Can, Amon Duul 2, Nektar, Guru Guru/Kraan, Banco, Le Orme, Camel, Kayak, Roxy Music/Phil Manzanera, Carmen, Sadistic Mika Band, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Vangelis, Riuichi Sakamoto, Mike Oldfield, Curved Air, Renaissance, Caravan, Gong and Families (3 hours!), Djam Karet (2 hours), Focus, a lot of the "progressive" folks ... I never touched Genesis, KC or ELP, not because I didn't like them or didn't want to ... but because you have already heard it, and what would I be trying to prove to you? ... if all I can play is top ten, I quit right now ... but if I can be all free form and add an ABC here or there that will surprise everyone ... that's what makes it "progressive" ... and the rest is a meaningless term.
So ... jingle? ... sorry ... for me that is exactly the kind of "radio" that has spent 40 years trying to kill the very music we love that has withstood the attacks ... by people that didn't give a sh*t about music at all! ... between you and I ... we care about the music, and jingles is not what we are about.
Please stop making us another radio moron out there with a big this or that .... on some hip something or other. Progressive was exactly the opposite of most of that stuff ... the majority of which was there strictly to pick up the girls and share the diseases! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

I thought we were going to actually write our jingles.
New Christy Minstrels style vocals:
"What musical genre rhymes with frog?
Yes you're right, it's progressive" |

I'm not on air since a very long time and probably I'll never be anymore, but I was used to have a "collage" of different famous tracks hardly to be recognized because they were played all together. Asking the listeners to mention as many songs they can recognize was a nice joke... ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie.

Sound Chaser to start and end with The B-52's Follow Your Bliss. I know it's not prog. I just like the song. If you don't like that, end with Bruford's Hell's Bells. |

My Intro would be Birth of Liquid Plejades by Tangerine Dream (Full) and Sequent C would be the ending theme. Every week it would change. Next week would be Mano Dharma '74 and Wave Code #E-1 by Takehisa Kosugi

When I first started out on student radio circa 1973 (!!! time flies) I eventually settled on Goodman/Hammer's Country & Eastern Music (ex Like Children) as the show's signature tune - which was pretty good to suggest the possible ranges of fused music you might hear next, and finished with Eddie Harris's classic electric sax tune Drunken Man (on one of those 70's Atlantic jazz releases), to suggest I might be heading for the bar after the show!! ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

And You and I by Yes, after the acoustic intro, to open.
Phaedra by Tangerine Dream to close.
I have heard You and Me by The Moody Blues as an opener before, and Shine On You Crazy Diamond Part - whatever comes after Wish You Were Here fades out, as a closer but can't remember where. Both sounded great.
All of these are the instrumental sections, though, no vocals. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

For my classical music programmes on the radio and on TV, I've used my own music, both older clip and a few original jingles, but for my current weekly programme about prog on the radio I use mostly the beginning of The Court of Crimson King, because the show itself is titled the same, albeit as a Finnish translation. Seems to work both ways.

If it was a beginner progger show, I'd put ITCOTCK, but if it was more unknown, I'd put the beginning of Capability Brown's Circumstances.
