Yes, he must be here, he released a single album as far as I know Joy and breath of eternity in 1979. To symphonic prog I guess fits well. In Camel style.

Who? Never heard of him. Very nice. I'll be the first to admit I enjoy harmless, melodic and gentle prog when its either

1: superobscure
or
2: a fellow countryman

Alf Emil is both!

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Interesting suggestion. A balanced mix of Symphonic and Fusion with some psychedelic/spacey/electronic attempts too, IMO - so to which category should they be headed? I'll start with Eclectic.
