Greetings Prog Rock Lovers, since I assume this forum is full of experts, I ask for your help in identifying a certain sequence of notes that I encountered at 6:16 of the song "Jordrök" by Swedish Prog Rock Band Änglagård (1992): https://youtu.be/ngLxOB-ZNuw?t=376" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/ngLxOB-ZNuw?t=376 What interests me is the bassline at this point, not the flute part. I'm absolutely sure I heard it in a different, earlier song but I just cannot find it. Another prog rock song, maybe a famous Swedish folk song? Can you help me out? Thanks for your kindness. |

| I'm not sure if it's the same part you are referring to but I'm pretty sure there is something from Hybris that also appears on Epilog which was their second album. |

| Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm looking for something that was released earlier than 1992. |

It sounds like a Tull riff ~ which is to say it reminds of Tull ~ maybe circa 1970 or so, albums like Stand Up, Benefit, Aqualung, etc. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

Same here. It really reminds me a lot of the old Tull.

| Hmm, I reheard the first four Tull albums. No match yet. |

| Ok, I now heard every 60s and 70s album from Tull. No success. |

When I first heard hocus pocus I thought it was Tull. This sounds more like Tull than a lot of Tull: |

| From a stylistic point of view, you are all right. I just want that exact baseline. |

My guess is that it is likely a Swedish folk song, if not styled as one. I will ask one or two of my nyckelharpa playing friends if they know the tune. ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |

^^Rhythmically those phrases are quite different, different meters. But keep in mind the riff is a pretty common 1 - 2 - ♭3 - 4 - 5 - ♯5 , and then back down the scale. That combination pops up frequently. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.johndcook.com%2Fflatsharp.png&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.johndcook.com%2Fblog%2F2009%2F03%2F16%2Fsharps-and-flats-in-html%2F&docid=V3RCXBVwfOp9sM&tbnid=4AkuKOfxOcQRFM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwixj7fztOfiAhVHlFQKHaXUCkIQMwh-KBYwFg..i&w=206&h=88&bih=659&biw=1182&q=sharp%20and%20flat%20symbols&ved=0ahUKEwixj7fztOfiAhVHlFQKHaXUCkIQMwh-KBYwFg&iact=mrc&uact=8" rel="nofollow - - ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F.

No, I am afraid they are not answering for some reason. I will let you know if I ever hear back...they may just be too busy in summer touring season to be checking their emails. ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |

Hey Nikki remember that time you tried to help me identify something I heard when I was a kid and it turned out to be Jean Luc Ponty?

Since you all spent so much time trying to help me it is probably fair to tell you why I'm so interested in this particular bassline: I have a blog about video game music where I'm trying to find the actual musical origins of certain well known tracks: https://www.destructoid.com/blogs/PhilsPhindings/ What I basically do is search the web for actual music in pop culture that has been released before the games I'm interested in and that might have served as an inspiration for the music in the game. Regarding the bassline, it caught my interest when I realized that a certain melody in a certain game, Golden Axe 2 for the Sega Megadrive, seems to be practically built around it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdRY4Q-9vK0 The problem is that the game was released in 1991 and Jordröck was released in 1992 AFTER the game. So I assume both songs have a common, earlier origin that I'm trying to find. I apologize if you assumed I was a pure Prog Rock fan...

| Sounds like it could be from a renaissance madrigal or plain chant. Something like Josquin des Prez? |

How about Bach's fugue in g minor? Many prog bass lines and themes are inspired by the fugue theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddbxFi3-UO4" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddbxFi3-UO4 ------------- http://theprogressiveweb.blogspot.de" rel="nofollow - Visit me in Second Life to talk about music. |

I think some of the bass notes come pretty close. The general idea is good.

| It is a Swedish folk song, and if you listen through the 70s albums from Merit Henningsson I'm sure you Will come across it soon, all her albums are on Spotify. Start with Huuva! Svensk folkmusik på beat (71) and Trollskog (72) and Bergtagem (73) and Balsam (76). I haven't heard any of the albums after Balsam. |

After sampling several of the albums you mentioned, I didn't find
the bassline I was looking for. Do you have a more specific hint? Regards
