 Topic: Wedding prog
Posted: September 29 2005 at 12:29 |
Just got married on Tuesday!
I thought a way to inform people (so that you can celebrate me ) here, but "wedding anouncement" is not something I could simply place in the prog music lounge!
anyway, I will accept your congratulations in PM section, and curious members may find my msn messenger address in my profile (which also works as mail, but be sure to send messages from another hotmail address, otherwise they will probably go down to junk mail, which I will lose in 7 days), I won't promise to reply all however, because I have a limited internet connection at work, and barely find a chance on weekends!
Coming back to the topic: We haven't organized a wedding feast as the traditional Turkish way, so I am thinking of some "lighter" prog/proto-prog/prog related songs to play in my wedding feast, which will propbably happen in a month or two (what can I do, we had complications!!! my wife is from Moldova, a former Soviet country btw...)
here's a short list which came down to my mind at a glance:
Rhytmic/dance tracks, also suitable for the average Turkish guests:
The Fire Breathes - Anubian Lights
Laugh Till You Cry, Live Till You Die - Can
Slow tracks suitable for slow dances:
Nights in White Satin - the Moody Blues
Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum
Dust in the Wind - Kansas (OK, this one not very suitable for dancing!)
I chose the Anubian Lights track just for its Arabic melodies, which is very common here. The Can track has Baglama (a traditional turkish instrument) in it, with a reggae rhythm, which is not far from the taste of the common man!!!
any other suggestions!?!?

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

Bilek, you lucky guy, you did it. You entered the kingdome of marriage.
Now, play something of VDGG and explore the other side of marriage and sleep on the couch on your wedding night.
Now a bit more serious: Play "Fantastic Place"of Marillion's Marbles. Great song for the occasion.

Wow. I'm sorry. Please accept my condolences.
I hate to use this song twice, but "Punch and Judy" by Marillion is a great wedding song. Or how about Arrow by VDGG? I love that line "fickle promises of treaty, fatal harbingers of war." Or maybe "The Lady Lies" by Genesis? Party on dude.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I heard this the other way round: one reviewer who reviewed "Pawn Hearts" said "don't play it with a girl with whom you're planning to get laid" etc...  Thankfully my wife has already heard plenty of VdGG by now!!! Not to mention she hates most of the prog  Besides, sleeping on the couch playing VdGG would be a present, rather than punishment to me  My stereo (which is merely 12 Watts or so) is in the living room and I cannot hear it from the bedroom!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out (though I never cared for Hoghart era marillion so far)

Now, will you tell me whose song is it!?!? I probably already know it, but I am too busy gwtting involved in Krautrock (Can, Guru Guru and Faust) and Frank Zappa that I almost forgot about all "mainstream" prog (i.e. Symphonic, Neo, Folk prog etc.)

Correction: I will be the only prog rocker trying to dance
How many forum members from Turkey other than me you met so far, for heaven's sake!?!?!? Not to mention the closest one to prog in my family (also in my wife's) is my mother, whose fave bands was Beatles when she was young! This also counts for other rock styles. I just wanna give them something they can dance with, but stick onto prog, at least prog bands (and at least those who did prog at one stage of their lives) while doing this!
Otherwise I will have to listen stupid folk dance songs all over my wedding
P.S. My mother is closer to prog not because of Beatles, but because she enjoys some of my records, mainly instrumental ones (I left all my LP's in my hometown) e.g. TD's Ricochet!

Condolences?!?!? you must be joking! (why don't you indicate with an emoticon, then?)
Thanks for Marillion suggestion, I will consider it.
Yet, as we are not native English speakers (and most of our guests will be not at all English speakers!) we don't care much about the lyrics! Other Marillion songs (Lavender etc) seem good, though...
VdGG!?!?!? They have some suitable songs, though (out of my book, house with no door, still life ??) but proggy ones will not work!
My rule of thumb: If I love it, the guests will hate it!
The same is true for La Rossa!
"Eyewitness" part of Plague of Lighthouse Keepers would be great, though! wish I could find such an edit...
Lastly: thanks to you and Gentle Ronnie for Genesis suggestions. There's plenty of suitable dance songs in their discography! I wonder why I couldn't think of it in the first place...

Bilek - congratulations again! 
I would suggest something with a church organ sound. Return to Vevey - a bonus track on Going for the One. Maybe something-else by Rick Wakeman? ... not very danceable though!

I really like that song...!
Congratulations, Bilek. Be careful at the party. On my wedding's party, the DJ didn't play a single song I'd asked and, moreover, he stole one of my CDs (really).

Don't worry, I will take control of the thing in this one! My cousin is an organist/singer (actually works as music teacher now!) and I don't think he's going to let me down with this! I'm thinking of planning the whole thing with him, and though he's more into classical, he has a considerable prog collection (which he never listens!). Anyway, it's OK even if he steals my CD'S
Thanks again, Bob! Vevey is a good suggestion, though I have it as Vevey Pt. 1 and Vevey Pt. 2 in Yesyears collection. I assume they are the same thing, since my tracks are noted to be GftO outtakes.
Maybe I can use Parallels at some stage, eh
Maybe I can find some danceable tracks in Six Wives of Henry VIII. In this case, I will never tell the title of the album (at least in Turkish), otherwise it may freak my wife out!!!!
