VEMOD

This is one of the very first progressive albums I've ever heard. It was so different from all I had ever heard before since I really never was into this prog music and the fact is I really liked it a lot. This album features a very dark atmosphere combined with the hard noisy bass and excellent drum plays. Even though the album is really short with only seven songs for me it offers one of the very best prog music (at least for me) out of all I've heard. Also it has the very first instrumental song I ever heard, Karelia. When I first heard it I was totally blown away by it's melodic intro. Besides this song, the rest of them resemble a very same mood with heavy melodies and some soft ones. I don't have the eight song version album so I can't say if it makes it better with the song or not, but overall even though it's short it's one of the best prog albums out there.
