I must say i like the Drapery falls by Opeth from Black water park. That is a classic track even with the bit of growling which sounds like he is singing about Badgers and weasels or some other furry animals. Yes excellent night music but swedish i think

	Their first album is one of the best album to listen to outside your cottage in the hot summer night. Very pastoral and moody! Fjarillar, I have more problem getting into it but is somewhat similar , just less interesting.
	let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword

	the nords make the best night music, guess its because its dark most of the year! 70's Swedish band that combine folk, fusion and symphonic prog. Bits of King Crimson, Gong and other Scandinavian bands can be pointed to has possible influences, but Raganrok don't really sound like any of the above overall. They take a very pastoral approach to fusion/prog, eschewing high-tech studio trickery, using just pianos, gently tolling electric guitars, flute, bass and percussion. The first album is beautiful mood music, great to drift off with at night. Fjarilar i Magen surprises everyone with its leading track: "Adrenalin". True to its name, it's a metallic hunk of blazing guitar that nearly makes King Crimson's Red look tame. The rest of the album is much more subtle, but in its own way is more like "Adrenalin" than the first album. All right, that's taking the analogy a bit far, but the band do inject more intense passages neatly interwoven among the gentle fantasias.
