Swedish Prog. Bands

[Toccata]

How do you explain the appearance of this big quantity of the new excellents Prog. Bands in a so short time came from Sweden , a country without a Rock Progressive past?
Excellent Prog. Groups like: The Flowerkings, Carptree, Beardfish, Pain of Salvation, Kaipa, etc...........?

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:

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

Same idea at the 'almost' same moment

[teermin8r]

Oh my Gosh! I thought buying cds because of the moon was enough, now I have to buy books!

Violent Silence also...

if you include Finland and Norway too you'll get an area that rivals Italy for greatness.

And Ubekistan

[MrMagoo]

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 @#$%^&!

[Toccata]

MrMAg, do you have any link about the Japanese Prog. Rock, if you have please send to me, right.
Bye.

[Toccata]

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.

[Toccata]

Really friend, there are to much information in Prog Archives, it's an important tool to help us!!
Thanks!
Bye Friend!!

[Toccata]

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?

[teermin8r]

Yes, I like Anekdoten.
