Topic: Epignosis Has a Wedding Anniversary Posted: June 24 2009 at 15:56 |
Okay gents (and ladies especially), I am planning on making a mix CD for my wife of lovely pieces of prog, but the "hidden track" will be a song I wrote for her a very long time ago. This will be my anniversary gift to her this year (in addition to mind-blowing sex).
Multiple votes are checked, so go nuts. Choose the pieces you think would make for a great little compilation for a gal who likes Cat Stevens, contemporary Christian music, some country and blues, Norah Jones and basically all things acoustic.
These are all tracks (well almost anyway) I think she will enjoy. I know her best, but you geniuses know great music. I want to hear what you think will make a good compilation CD for an anniversary (that will end with a surprise song from yours truly ).
Go to it!

Happy anniversary!
I suggested Tull, Hackett, and the Floyd.
I notice there's no Gentle Giant on this list.

She sounds like she's on a pretty similar page musically to my girlfriend. With that in mind, my Beck loves June and Lazarus. Also, she has a thing for the Decemberists, but not really any of those in any specific sense. Maybe Summer Song or The Crane Wife 3?

The Porcupine Tree and Decemberists tracks are all great.

Also, I think that the Gentle Giant track Think of Me with Kindness should be included. That twangs the female heartstrings. At least in the one case I really care about.

Another vote for "From the Beginning" from a woman who is not really too much into romantic music  ...

Hackett's The Virgin & The Gypsy would probably work the best out of all listed.

Hope you have a fantastic day  Lazarus for me, if only because my lovely wife thought it utterly beautiful when I first played it to her. She's not easily impressed by prog

Izz - I Believe
Iona - Today
Peter Gabriel - Here Comes the Flood (solo piano version)
----Carpet Crawlers would be extremely creepy in this context.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Is that the one from Fripp's "exposure" album?
