Interactive Poll: Road Trip

maybe we should decide tomorrow on our final nominations. 

For my third track, I'm surprised I didn't think about this track sooner:

 

 

 

 

The journey was my return flight from the US to NZ. I was flying out from Seattle, very reluctantly as I had become very good friends and fallen in love with a girl there. These were days before MP3 players, so I had my discman and a selection of CDs to listen to on the long flight home. As it was, the CD I put in at the beginning of the flight remained there for the duration of the flight, as I fell in and out of sleep. And, so very oddly, it seemed as if I only ever woke up at some point during this song. Apart from the take off and landing, I honestly don’t remember hearing any other song. Just this one. Listening to it anytime subsequently reminds me of that flight, and of that girl I left behind.

One reason why it becomes more difficult to propose something good for the polls is because every collection is ultimately finite and the ambition to always suggest new artists means that at some point those that I really want to present are more or less exhausted. I like the topic a lot but all I have in mind is either prog or was already suggested.

I think I also once had something by Hamburg local heroes Ostzonensuppenwurfelmachenkrebs (stock cubes from the GDR make cancer); maybe not here but in Logan's "post a video" thread, but anyway, the sound of this one works very well when driving. Also the video is to some extent travel themed.

Von Haus aus allein.

I haven't even posted any songs yet 

 

Or have people run out of steam with regards to the interactive polls in general?

 

I've already selected from this album in an earlier interactive poll. However, this track has always reminded me of driving along the motorway south of Sydney when I was young, especially the section starting from 4:18 in the video. I love that driving groove, and this track is my favourite from the album.
