Currently my favorite band of all times. It's almost perfect. Maybe it's just perfect. The album 'On Her Journey to the Sun" is without a doubt one of those albums that blows me away completely. Haven't heard an album in ages that instantly grabs me and stays interesting. I have a soft spot for scandinavian progrock and psychrock. Here's a nice clip: |

I like the tune,....the vocals are weak imo.....if you like this type of slick poppy prog rock, I would highly recommend Sanguine Hum. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

This is just a single, intended to be short and standard, as most singles are in the history of singles (sans Bohemian Rhapsody).
The rest of the last albums is filled with 10+ minutes instrumenal progrock like Yes, Flower Kings, Tangent, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Camel. Not the least slick or pop. Don't judge a band because of a single. |

I noticed that this musician is also in Beardfish....a band that is also interesting. You are correct about the longer songs. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Most of the time (back in the days) bands had to promote their album with a coinciding single. Sometimes even heavily editted. But because I don't want infringe copyright, I only post official videos (as far as I know). But I can post album-tracks, If you want to. |

| I love this album! Probably the closest thing we'll now get to new Beardfish material, now that band are sadly defunct. Favourite tracks are Of the Orb and Polymixia. |
