The Flower Kings reunite for one show-New York,USA

They deserve it more than anybody. In the meantime, theres the third Agents of Mercy album, a new Karmakanic album, Hasse's secret project, and whatever Tomas is doing. The Flower Kings reunion can wait as long as it needs to.

I wholeheartedly agree. These days anyone who complains about Yes and Genesis being lame after the seventies needs to listen to TFK and shut up.

But I agree about not enough prog fans knowing about them. I get the feeling that anyone who just discovered  prog or rediscovered prog in the past four or five years might have missed them and not been exposed to them. They were big in prog circles in the nineties though and one of the big three of the so called third wave(the other two being Porcupine Tree and Spock's Beard although imo it should be a big four or five to include DT and OT).

I was just playing some stuff at my birthday party yesterday. I played the Roine Stolt album "the flower King" followed by Space Revolver. My brother now wants me to burn a copy for him. Better late than never.

But yeah if ever there was a band that deserves a bigger audience it's the Flower Kings. PT got pretty huge a few years ago now it's FK's turn.

Apparently Roine and the guys are going to go in the studio later this year to work on a new album and no that's not a April Fool's joke so no thankfully they have not split up.

^Ozric Tentacles, obviously.
