I hope that I didn't come across any plans of yours, Mirakaze, as I remember you talking about Swedish thread, but now
I didn't reckon, it was actual anymore. Smile

That would be "avantgardish" for me, but I'll give it a new listen. Smile

After the first one, it looks like, this album has got a new friend, as maybe even more creative and interesting than Vemod, and different enough from Vemod.

I do have a few, but I'm not sure I know them well enough to pick my top ones. I do know Hybris are among my very favourite Scret of the Runes (by Therion). I enjoyed the Kaipa do Capo album well enough... more than the classic Kaipa albums I think. The last Anekdoten album was great too, I guess I should check out more from them. And I have been hearing a bit or Landberk's Riktigt Akta (on YouTube) and have been enjoying it very much, but it's been years and have not been able to find it available to buy it (and I do want the version in swedish). And it's not prog, but I have found about a band called Garmarna (folk) and have been enjoying that one too... specially the album Guds Spelleman.

I can surely recommend their first two, or the third one if something more melodic and easier for the ears. Smile

It definitely looks like, I'll become fond of Nucleus as well, Grumpy.

As a curiosity, it can be told that the last track on this album, In Freedom, echoes both Cream's Dance the Night Away and Metallica's Orion. Big smile

A few more recent prog discoveries from Sweden, which reminds me of the time when Sweden beat England at football (or soccer to my American friends) and the headline in the papers the next day was:- SWEDES: 2  TURNIPS: 1 Tongue

Galleon  (Neo Prog)
Grand Stand  (Symphonic Prog)
Isidurs Bane  (Symphonic Prog)
Par Lindh Project  (Symphonic Prog)

Actually, I am familiar and like the Par Lindh Project, my mistake in not mentioning them.Embarrassed When Triumvirat singer Barry Palmer went to St. Louis,Missouri, USA in the late 1990s for a couple of in part Triumvirat reunion concerts, PLP were there to back him.

While Nucleus as a whole seems to me to be quite a lot inspired by Larks' Tongues in Aspic.

Going with ten albums and one per band otherwise Anekdoten, Anglagard and Landberk will dominate it. I absolutely love Swedish music, the melancholic retro stuff especially. In no order.

Gosta Berlings Saga- Detta Har Hant
Lamagaia- Lamagaius
Anekdoten- Gravity or Until All The Ghosts Are Gone
The Spacious Mind- Rotvalta
All Traps On Earth- A Drop Of Light
Opeth- Damnation
Kultivater- Barndomins Stigar
Landberk- One Man Tells Another
Anglagard- Hybris
Sinkadus- Cirkus

Some fine albums right there from my music world. Big fan of that Dream Pop vibe on The Amazing's Ambulance. Or the Neo Prog from Twin Age called Lialim High. Liquid Scarlet's debut is cool. Flasket Brinner's debut for the jamming style. Katatonia's Great Cold Distance needs a mention.

"The wind is slowly tearing her apart"

"Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN

As quite usually for "my" threads, some lyrics which here are English translation of 

Änglagård - "Vandringar i vilsenhet" (excerpt)

        Fragments from times past are now.
The world of loneliness where we live,
with everything that has been piled up
all around us,
constantly brings our inner being
towards disturbance and disharmony.
All dreamers who know
something else are wrong.
It may be that one is led astray.
Why exist here for no good?
Time goes suffering, my soul passes onwards
in the dream.


(from the album Hybris (1992), the source: http://www.arlequins.it/translations/Anglagard-Hybris.asp )
