Susanne Sundfør for Crossover prog

Ive tried to get some attetnion without much succes, but I have experienced that do you want something done you have to work hard for it. I will sugest that this artist would be best listed in Crossover prog becouse of the mixture of styles buyt lack any of the complexities of the 70s prog bands but the sonic quality and arangements are verry progressive for 2010.

You might not at first look at her as Prog arist (i did not think that at first but after some listenings and adding both albums on my track list i have come toe the conclusion that she is verry ambitious in bouth arangements and instrumentation.  just not wave her of take some time listening to her albums or  samples on Myspace.

not many long songs but all the songs are mini-epics.

the first album is more prog related/Crossover wile the later the Borthel is clarely a progressive album (stong electronic influence I even trace some chamber influnce which would not seemd strange on Gentle Giant album

This is pop music, very nicely written, arranged and performed, but not rock and not prog 

^ Sorry Aginor but this artist will not make evaluation stage. Nice pop.

After her latest album, I do feel this topic needs a revival. Sure, the PA collabs probably have better grounds to say what is/isn't prog, but they can't ignore when an artist like Susanne is being hailed in the press as "Norway's leading Art-Rocker" (NPR). Some friends have come up to me asking why I don't suggest for PA, and look surprised when I tell them she already has been and was rejected. I too had my reservations at first, but with 5 very strong albums(two of which brilliant art-rock stuff, one clearly Electronic Prog) I now feel her inclusion would be a logical step forward for this website.

Mind you, I'm not necessarily proposing her to Crossover, as the topic title suggests. She could as easily end up in Related or maybe Eclectic.

Nothing for her on progfreak: http://progfreak.com/Susanne-Sundfør-99152.html. Added by avestin around 3 years ago, but no record of any PA activity on the site. Doesn't look as though a formal evaluation has ever actually been initiated.
