Tomas Bodin - I AM

 This is his best album yet... 
supremely wonderful concept, very tasteful, VERY proggy, amazing
vocals, and some of the best melodies I've heard in ages... 
includes Jonas and Marcus of the Flower Kings, as well as other
assorted non-TFK musicians.  I talked with Tomas about this album,
and the followups he's writing as well, and he seems extremely
passionate about it, and it's definitely on an entirely different level
from the rest of his solo output.  It's extremely focused, there
seems to not be a wasted note...

...and there's a beautiful section on the second track (there's three
tracks, averaging 20 minutes apiece) that'll make fans of The Truth
Will Set You Free smile with ecstacy.

	Swedish Family is excellent. It's instrumental, melodic prog performed on vintage instruments.
