Don't forget Black Bonzo and Ritual, both are playing at ROSfest '08. Also from Sweden is Anekdoten and Galleon among many more.

Progressive rock is a tradition in Sweden, take a look at this link:
http://www.premiumpublishing.com/all...g/progg_x.html
I bought the book and 95 % of its content is unknown to me , Sweden is only 1500 km from Belgium


Furthermore : Roine Stolt was Kaipa's guiutar and Anekdoten VEMOD dated from 1993

Anekdoten, Angalard, Galleon, Isildurs Bane, Par Lindh, Zello...

Probably my 2nd favorite 'region' for music after Japan, but maybe as much as South America, but then again there's the Italian stuff... oh @#$%^&!

I've been using the Synphonic country page to explore music - Greg's comments are usually pretty spot on - then using Prog Archives to check reviews as well.

Re: Swedish Prog. Bands
Probably right, Teermin8r !!
Or The midnightsun force people to stay at home , perhaps listening music + commenting about that + beer = High stage's Music.
Do you like Anekdoten?
