Question: is there a prog song or a prog album you would associate to the city/town you live in? Mine could be "Se io lavoro" by Le Orme, or "Shadows" from New Troll's Concerto Grosso n. 1 -------------

Extremely difficult to find anything Prog at all, but some tenuous near-prog-related (kind of)
I live half-way between Winchester and Alton - so the obvious choice would be Winchester Town by Saturnalia.
Sadly, Alton isn't very Prog but it was once home to Alison Goldfrapp so Felt Mountain is an option and the original Fanny Adams was imfamously murdered there in the 19th century so (non-prog, but good never-the-less) Sweet Fanny Adams by The Sweet.
The Watercress Steam Railway runs past my house - Locomotive Breath (Tull)
The real Blackwater Park is about 12 miles north of here - (but Opeth are nowhere to be seen)
I once lived in the Bedfordshire village of Harrold, so Harold the Barrel (Genesis) or Harold Land (Yes)
I was born in Southend-on-Sea so Holidaymaker by Kaleidoscope (and anything by Danielle Dax) ... and lived in the adjoining town of Shoeburyness (mentioned in Billericay Dickie by Ian Dury and The Blockheads)

The nearest thing for me is Pink Floyd -Pigs On the Wing
Swindon (my home town) is derived from 'Swine -down' ie 'Pigshill'

The only thing I can come up with is Strawbs - Midnight Sun But I guess Bodø isn't the only city which has midnight sun =o ------------- The scattered jigsaw of my redemption laid out before my eyes Each piece as amorphous as the other - Each piece in its lack of shape a lie

| "The Chronicles Of Manannan" (2005) by the British band Otherworld is a progressive rock concept album inspired by, and dedicated to, my homeland the Isle of Man. Containing some outstanding playing and very complex music, it could have been a brilliant set had they used a real drummer instead of a cheap, badly recorded drum machine. However, I can't say it makes me think of the island in any shape or form! |
