IMO, there's nothing better than walking outside and in the wilderness while listening to prog with headphones. Just sitting in the forest or on seaside while listening to prog is extremely cool. So which music do you like to listen to when you're in the wilderness?  -------------

Camel is good for walking in the woods. Early Floyd for relaxing. Ozric Tentacles for fast paced bike riding, and Yes for slow riding.
I don't want to seem like I'm picky, anything I like is good in nature. ------------- We got to pump the stuff to make us tough from the heart Its astart What we need is awareness we cant get careless Mental self defensive fitness Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be |

There's little wilderness here, but when I walk around campus and such,
I always find it cool to listen to GY!BE and Do Make Say Think for some
reason.

You would think Brian Eno's On Land would be perfect, but I've never tried it myself.

To me their's nothing like a moderate temperature Spring morning while listening to "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"
Try it while driving or walking. ------------- My avatar is the vocalist of glam rock/brit pop band Suede (aka the London Suede in USA). They were once good before the guitarist left the band. Albums to hear: self titled debut and 'Dog Man Star.' |

Some suggestions for loud music when your with other people outdoors: Campfire/drinking or whatever you choose to do in the forest or a park: Comus, Incredible String Band, Spirogyra, Amon Düül II, Celeste, early Gong.... In general Folk, Psychedelic, and lots of italian Prog is perfect (That is if you have friends also into it, of course). On a boat or at the seaside: Tangerine Dream, Cluster, Soft Machine (Third), National Health, Hatfield and the North...Folk stuff works here as well. ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

Be shure that you wear headphones with you when you listen for this kind of music around campfire.
 For me it's OK but the others I doubt.

I put a selection of songs from most bands I have albums of on to my MP3 player, and just put it on random.
I also tend to go everywhere with this MP3 player. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I totally agree with Snowdog on this topic. Just listen to nature and if it be silence...then so be it. No extraneous aural stimulation. Just the wind, birds and stillness of the moment. ------------- Deafmoon |

Nature ... most of the time I'm enjoying it in the form of cycling tours through the woods next to my home town. I really enjoy listening to music while cycling ... usually I'm exhausting myself in the process, and listening to some really aggressive, driving stuff (mostly metal) really gets me in a "zone". But the other extreme is also nice - listening to really calm, relaxing music while driving not so fast. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

out of you. -------------

- Painkiller - Execution Ground

Usually "classical" when I'm out in nature. A bit obvious perhaps
then that when I'm sitting at the seaside I do like to listen to
Debussy's La Mer. It's often Pink Floyd when out under the stars. When mountain biking and hiking, I prefer the gentle sounds of nature plus the sound of my feet or my tires. I'm also keep my ears open in case some bears, cougars, or psycho mountain cannibals are around... I may be a bit paranoid. |

I agree with the idea of no music at all. You have to hear the birds, otherwise you miss out on a big part of the experience.
Besides, around my area you have to listen for any animal sounds in case it is sending out a warning that you are coming too close. The last thing you want to do is to get too close to a bear, deer or moose. ------------- "they locked up a man who wanted to rule the world. the fools they locked up the wrong man." - Leonard Cohen |

I'm with you there.
For the walk to school I listen to anything though, although usually something about 15 minutes in length. -------------

I haven't heard Painkiller but Delirium Cordia by Fantomas is one creepy experience. YanquiU.X.O. by GYBE sounds more like despair and desolation stuff like that. -------------

If i'm just relaxing or hiking or somethong like that, than I prefer "nature's music". But If i'm doing yard work or something of the sort I listen to anything, because let's face it, when your raking for 3 hours, you need a little entertainment to ease the time.
