I was thinking about this topic yesterday, and this is what I would have written then and now. Not Prog, but when I moved into this house, the first thing I remember playing not on earbuds or headphones (on external speakers) was Giorgio Moroder's Cat People soundtrack. There is something comforting in my 80s nostalgia and I love things on the electronica side.



If I moved into a new house now, then I would want to play Kosmischer Läufer's The Secret Cosmic Music of the East German Olympic Program 1972-83: Volume Three, which I find magical/ wondrous in its way.   This is modern electronic music pretending to be of the past and also has nostalgia value for me. I really like the project.

The first for everything is always Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.  The one time I didn't and played Tangerine Dream's Le Parc in the new car stereo, it shortly afterward got stolen.  Lesson learned!

Homeworld (The Ladder) by Yes. What else? ;)

Another possibility might be "our house" by Crosby Stills Nash and Young. The Madness song with the same title is great too. However, I can't afford to buy a house so they might not be appropriate. The same thing with "you can never go home" by the Moody Blues if I've just moved into a new home. Wink

I like The Ladder, i think its a sunny upbeat lp so its a good suggestion.. and 'homeworld' is very appropriate!

Lazland mentioned the CSNY song which is great and Deja Vu has already had a spin.

'Home' by Roy Harper (the studio version of which features Ian Anderson on flute) is a great homecoming song

and of course 'where i lay my hat, thats my home' by Marvin Gaye (then Paul Young) just about sums up everywhere ive lived up to now..

I'm moving my parent's house in a month. So it will definitely will be Pharrell Williams - Happy! Also, another reason for joy is the fact that I hired a moving company. I already helped my friends to move and I know how difficult the moving can be. I hope that with the help of expomovers guys the process will be easy for me this time.

I'm going to be moving to Cornwall hopefully by the end of the year with Sister, Brother in law and Mum. It's a large property with very separate sections and fortunately I can play anything as loud as I like as the walls are very thick. Once I get my CD collection and hi-fi in place it will inevitably be ELP's Brain Salad Surgery followed by some Yes and Rush. ELP's stonking version of Jerusalem seems as good a point to start as any.

Cornwall's great, but Devon is better!LOL No, i'm very fond of Cornwall and have had job offers there over many years but just couldnt afford to get on the property ladder there.. still spend a fair bit of time down that way with work. Good luck with your move, and great music choices for warming up your new home!ClapThumbs Up

Getting finished with a major reno here. When I get the beast all hooked up it will probably be the 5.1 mix of The Yes Album.

Well, the first thing I'd have to do is to break in the neighbors. So, side one of Black Sabbath's Sabotage. Very, very, very loud.

I know I've already written some suggestions, but now I'm thinking I'd spin the flipside of Fourth by Soft Machine (Virtually I-V)

When we moved into a newly built home, I was for whatever reason on a Grobschnitt bender with Merry-Go-Round being played around the clock.
