Topic: Make your multi-language compilation Posted: August 04 2010 at 22:50
This is not the first time a thread about making prog compilations has been created. However, what about making a 1 CD compilation (under 80 min of music, ofcourse) in which every song is in a different language? What would you put in it? From the few prog songs that I know which are not in English I would go with: - Italian: Dopo... Niente E'Più Lo Stesso, by Banco del Mutuo Soccorsso. - French: Depuis l'Automne, by Harmonium. - Spanish: La Poderosa Muerte, by Los Jaivas. - Portuguese: Último Entardecer, by Bacamarte. - Swedish: Kung Bore, by Anglagard.
- English: Epitaph, by King Crimson.
However, I don't know any prog songs in so many other languages... which would make you CD?

Also German! I'm racking my brains for a Krautrock band that actually sang in German...
I don´t like German language in Prog. And one of my polls confirmed my opinion by the others.

Now you're talking my language(s)... I will avoid the obvious choices and go for some lesser-known bands (Magma probably has enough mentions already):
Meronian: Circle - "Kultaa" (4:27) Finnish: Höyry-kone - "Lumisaha" (4:43) Czech: Už Jsme Doma - "Tíha" (4:49) French: Arachnoïd - "Le Chamadère" (13:51) Italian: Cirque du Soleil - "Alegría" (5:50) Slovenian: Terra Mystica - "Irska-Carsica" (4:23) Vonlenska (Hopelandic): Sigur Rós - track 1 from "( )" (6:38) Danish: Tømrerclaus - "En Dag Da Jeg Lå I Luften" (3:18) German: Angizia - "Kapitel III - Vom Spiel Der Leisen Fragen. Wie Schäle Ich Den Augapfel" (8:40) Hungarian: Age of Nemesis - "Negy Tükör" (6:58) Swedish: Landberk - "I Nattens Timma" (4:28) Icelandic: Björk - "Vökuró" (3:14) Japanese: My Neighbour Totoro (OST) - "となりのトトロ(Tonari no Totoro)" (4:17) Hindi/Punjabi: Bride and Prejudice (OST) - "Punjabi Wedding Song" (5:33)
...that's probably enough trawling of my movie collection ggggfgrfthrt

Novalis of course (categorized on this site as symphonic prog):
Ok, they barely sing and not very special, but it's german ! And as I already said in another thread, I think that prog sounds great in any language, even in Klingon....
