Thread: Winter Prog Albums

  1. #1

    Winter Prog Albums

    I've been enjoying some frosty prog... what are some of your faves for the season?

    Jethro Tull- Stormwatch (SW 5.1 mix)
    Vangelis- Antarctica

  2. #2
    +1 for Antarctica, also:

    Johannes Schmoelling: White Out
    Bjork: Vespertine

  3. #3
    Not albums but individual songs:

    Jethro Tull - Fire at Midnight
    White Willow - Snowswept and several from Ignis Fatuus
    Strawbs - Autumn (really seems to be about winter, at least to me)

    And not prog but a beautiful song
    Sarah McLachlan - Song for a Winter's Night

    ...and Then There Were Three has always had a "wintery" sound to me.
    Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.

    Another one-off track, "Wintertime" by Kayak:

    "Snowbound" obviously contributes to that, but I think Tony transitioning to mostly synths lends a "glacial" sound to the album. I believe this is the only record where he plays the Polymoog.

    Ever since I moved away from birthplace in sunny southern California to places with long cold snowy winters, Klaus Schulze's Mirage has been a winter listening favorite. Progressive electornic at its finest.

    For some reason I've always felt that Relayer had a wintry vibe. Maybe it was the time of year I first heard it (winter 1974/75), maybe the shades-of-white cover art, or maybe it's just the "crispness" of the original production...

    I tend to play all of my favourite albums over the winter when it's pretty awful outside.

    These ones in particular have a wintry vibe for me, or sometimes just because I remember getting them during winter:

    Genesis: Wind & Wuthering + And Then There Were Three
    Yes: Relayer + Topo Oceans + Yesshows
    Jon Anderson: Song Of Seven + Olias
    Solstice: New Life
    Steve Hackett: Voyage of The Acolyte
    Rush: Hemispheres
    UK: Debut + Danger Money
    Steven Wilson: The Raven
    Queen: A Night At The Opera + News Of The World
    Black Sabbath: Mob Rules

    For me, this is one of the most heart-tugging tracks ever. Theme from a long ago blooming romance that began with a trek on snowy country trails.

    How about Art Bears - Winter Songs?
    What we feel we have to solve is why the dregs have not dissolved.
