both equally

lush well crafted prog that challenges the idea of prog being a UK thing. certainly both would be in my top 30 favourite prog albums.

I never really got into Änglagård but have always loved PFM...so there you go.
Lots of modern Scandinavian prog that tickles my fancy. Änglagård though sounds a little ‘cold’ for my liking.

My feelings too. Both are fine and original prog classics. Voted PFM.

It almost is. There's a little bit of singing in Swedish towards the end but not much.

Would you care to give some examples of modern Scandinavian prog that tickles your fancy?

Hybris doesn't respond to me on the same emotional level as Per Un Amico does.

After seeing the vote overwhelmingly in favour of "PFM - Per Un Amico", I decided to listen to this album to see why it is so popular compared to "Anglagard - Hybris". This is quite an interesting album. I now understand why it is so popular.

I have yet not understood why that album, and the band in general, is so very popular. I find it a nice listen, but not something I really love. I much prefer Banco, or the albums YS or Inferno (from Metamorfosi), or Zarathustra.
