Why have you left out progressive metal, tech/extreme and experimental/post metal from your Danish Prog list?

Simply because I'm not a fan of Metal. The same goes for Avant Prog/RIO too, which I've also left out of the listings, with the notable exception of Afenginn, who sound more like Prog Folk than Avant Prog to my ears. Smile

AGATHORN       Symphonic Prog, Danish style! Talking of Viking prog invasions, Agathorn are the most surprising Danish invasion since King Forkbeard invaded England and surprised Ethelred the Unready in 1013, winning 2-1 after extra time and penalties - the penalties being the English payment of Danegeld taxation to the Danish equivalent of the Inland Revenue Service. Tongue

A-Z of Danish Prog Artists

AKROPOLIS     It's all Greek to me. With a name like Akropolis, you could be forgiven for thinking this Grecian-sounding band are within touching distance of the prog gods on Mount Olympus, but no, they're as authentically Greek as a Danish mountaineering holiday. Akropolis don't sound particularly symphonic either - despite the misleading title of their one and only album - but they are a perfect fit for Crossover Prog, which is where you'll find them here on PA. Akropolis are authentically Danish though, just like LEGOLAND, where initial appearances can also be deceptive. Smile

3 stars 1979: Akropolis - Half a Million Years Symphony - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHKxFW6ij3A

LEGOLAND - Or is it!??  Geek

A-Z of Danish Prog Artists

ALRUNE ROD     The Danish Pink Floyd! Alrune Rod featured in the concert film Stoned Days in Thy where "Thy" refers to the Thylejren music festival in 1971 - the Danish equivalent of Woodstock with a reported audience of 30,000, representing a huge crowd by Danish standards, where 30,000 was roughly 1% of the entire population of Denmark at that time. So if you want to hear some astounding sounds and amazing music, then why not dip into the Psychedelic Rock of Alrune Rod to discover what the rest of the world outside of Denmark has been missing out on all these years. And the best place to start? Live Aalborg 2002 without a doubt! It's as tasty as a Danish pastry spread with Lurpak butter. Do you want jam on it? Well, you've come to the right place, as Alrune Rod are one of the best jam bands you're ever likely to hear, having been compared with the Grateful Dead, only better!  Thumbs Up

ART CINEMA     Do you remember Cinema, the short-lived offshoot of YES? Well, Art Cinema are a Danish Crossover Prog band who have a connection with Heavy Metal band Mercyful Fate, but sound far more like YES, and with a singer who sounds not unlike Jon Christian Andersen. Smile

BAZAAR      We're travelling to Turkey now where east meets west with Danish World Music trio Bazaar. You can almost taste the warm smell of hookah pipes, rising up through the air. It's all really quite Bazaar. Smile

BLAST FURNACE       Head-Bang & Olufsen Rock! Something is oft forgotten in the state of Denmark. It's the birthplace of no less than six Psychedelic Rock bands, including this band who are all fired-up and ready to set the world alight. Blast Furnace are one of the best Danish bands of all time with an album that's guaranteed to warm your heart, especially at This Time of Year Smile

BLUE SUN      The brightest stars of Jazz Rock/Fusion in the night sky over Copenhagen, whereas Sirius - one of our nearest celestial neighbours and the brightest Blue Sun in the entire northern hemisphere - is located "a mere" 8 light years away from Earth (or 80,000 years away in real time) and with an apparent magnitude of -1.46, where any star with an apparent magnitude in minus figures is very bright indeed - our own Sun having an apparent magnitude of -26.74. As Einstein one said, "It's all relative". Something to ponder whilst enjoying the music. Smile

LARS BOUTRUP'S MUSIC FOR KEYBOARDS     WOW!! This is Symphonic Prog like you've never heard it played before, sounding like Keith Emerson on steroids, and yes, that really is Lars Boutrup's hair on the cover of The Great Beyond. Shocked

Another great artist from The Great Beyond of Denmark. The Symphonic Dream is highly recommended if you've never heard it before. Thumbs Up

BURNIN' RED IVANHOE     Oh My Word! The hottest Danish band since Blast Furnace!! Prepare for some burning red hot fire and fury from Burnin' Red Ivanhoe, who are surely the best Scandinavian Jazz Rock band band since Tasavallan Presidentti first rocked the airwaves over Helsinki. Keep on rocking Right On with the Karma Cowboys whose amplifiers are set to stun on the BRI index with all the awesome  power of an M144 Wolfenstein! Shocked

COMA       Wake up to the sound of Coma, a Jazz Rock/Fusion band from across the Skagerrack who are following in the footsteps of Hatfield & the North, National Health and Supersister. Coma's three Canterbury Scene-style albums are worth 100 Danish krones of anyone's money. Smile
