Iīve been searching for any thread related to this band in the searcher, but I couldnīt find any.

After listening to other many bands from the "secondary prog group", I must say this Norwegian band is my prefered one. "A new born day" (73) is a very good album, and "Ranshart" (74) and "Let Your Light Shine" (76) show the same excellent progrock they firmed in their fisrt work. The female voice is a very peculiar and good contrast in more soft parts of the songs, and the band knows how to do very interesting hardrock progressive sometimes.
 
An overrated band, Iīd say. Anybody here who likes this band, Ruphus?Wink

Thanks for your opinion, Anirmi.Wink
 
Offtopic: Any prog recommendation from Denmark? Sometimes I have seen good words about a band called Culpeperīs Orchard...

I have their first five albums up to Inner Voice. I think I reviewed New Born Day. I didn`t really like the more jazzy direction they took but New Born Day was killer. Lots of Hammond and male / female vocal interactio. I also have a Brain Fesival double LP from `78 where they play Inner Voice.

I've got a couple of albums from Midnight Sun from Denmark with Roger Dean covers. More on the jazz rock side.
