^ And that appears to be based only upon what is in PA. I’m sure there are plenty of Danish bands recognised as prog outside PA (many of whom may quote possibly make their way into PA over years to come - provided the site is still around).

I definitely think that the modern Danish prog scene is great. It may not be “proper” to David, but it is definitely very well appreciated by many - and far beyond Denmark’s borders.

Here's testimony to the first and second wave of Danish Progressive rock, the first short-lived, the next lasted nearly ten years ending in 2020.

The chart is taken from a presentation I did last year on the development of Danish prog.

Being a Dane myself, it´s maybe a little embarrassing, but I seldom enjoy or listen to Danish music. There are a few exceptions like Afenginn, Burnin´Red Ivanhoe, Secret Oyster, Alrune Rod, Young Flowers, Steppeulvene, Mew, Love Shop, Sort Sol, CV Jørgensen, early Konkhra, Invocator, and of course the mighty Red Warszawa, but not all of them are prog related and few of them are favorites of mine.

To my ears most Danish artists through time have been pale clones of international artists. There I said it...

Well Papir is the style of the two you mentioned but that's about it. Going to spin the album they did with Electric Moon this week hopefully.

You're quite wrong about that, even I'm most into 70's Prog.

Frankly speaking, I'd prefer to be free of all your misunderstandings, and I'm wondering about if you want intentionally to bother me. Wink

"whatever that means", you seem to have gotten it right, and are you in doubt, then you can see here quoted from the post of mine which answers one of Nick's posts:  

Originally posted by David_D David_D wrote:

I can tell that by now I'm in doubt about what to find being the best use of the term Progressive Rock, and I may become in favour of the double way you use, but which would be though:

1. A less including one, much similar to RYM's, which I guess is best corresponding to the historically and today mostly used one, so it can be called "Progressive Rock proper".
2. A more including one, and the way I've suggested to define Progressive Rock in my article here, which uses the term Prog as a meta-genre.

easily seen that I'm not impressed by the Danish Prog myself, and I'd say that "Prog proper" hasn't been popular 
in the post-70's Denmark - and thus there's surely some work to do for those who might wish.

David, you are obviously not into modern day prog, particularly not Danish prog - surprisingly, as you are from Denmark (?) - since modern day Danish prog is flourishing and experiencing a second coming not seen since the first coming in the late 60's (Burning Red Ivanhoe, Ache, Alrune Rod, Culpeper's Orchard a.o.).

I suspect you haven't heard of Vola, Feather Mountain, Pardans and many other Danish "Non-proper Prog" to stick to your term "Prog Proper" whatever that means.

Did anyone name Taylor's Universe or Øresund Space Collective?

Nice to know there are more bands from the Dane islands than I ever knew--though,based on my observation of Danish youth & citizens, I would have expected more Tech/Metal, Math Rock, and Viking Folk Metal.

Because Anisette soon caught the "Janis Joplin vocal-syndrome" I don't like Sagage Rose very much. But she uses her normal singing voice to a larger extent on their debut, and it's a lovely little 1968 psychedelic rock album

I wonder if you're not familiar with other SC albums, or you best like this one.

It's the only one I currently, they are certainly on my must explore further list but there's a lot of bands on that list. I'd probably like a lot of it. Though I don't listen to a lot of straight Fusion.

Nice to see someone else mentioning I Think You’re Awesome. I thought I might be their only fan on PA. 🤗

His later, sort of in character "evil villain" voice  comes of as cartoonish/theatrical to me. And that's probably the whole point and fine by me. But to me his singing approach brought a sort of goth/new wave feel to their classic heavy metal. I found it really refreshing when I first discovered those early gems, and missed it when I started digging deeper into the discog.
