STE VAN HOLM      An obscure artist even by Danish standards with videos on YouTube viewed on average between 1 and 10 times in five years, meaning the chances of ever hearing Ste Van Holm played on the radio are about as likely as finding Hillary Clinton moonlighting as a barmaid. Shocked

A-Z of Danish Prog Artists

HIMMELRUM       Himmelrum (Translation: Heaven Space) - a Danish Post Rock band who appear to enjoy free camping in post-communist Romania, which I'd imagine falls somewhat short of heaven space. After all, camping is not all it's cracked up to be, as the Top Gear team discover when Jeremy Clarkson "accidentally" sets his caravan on fire. Geek

GRYDGAARD      Getting into high gear now with three singers and one guitarist (Uffe Grydgaard). That's Neo Prog "band" Grydgaard. Three presenters and one guitarist (Slash). That's Top Gear! Smile

Not mystic at all (use Google translate), cf. the link Fleur De Lis.

A collector's edition from 2016 with the full story of the band and album in English reached #1 on the Danish vinyl chart.

FUREKABEN      From Foreningen to Furekaben, it's another obscure hippie folk collective from Denmark. It seems like the early seventies were a good time to be a hippie in Copenhagen, especially if you happened to play a musical instrument too. Smile

EXXON      Exxon could have been a great band if it wasn't for THAT voice, which - after eleven albums - is about as welcome as an oil slick. Ouch

Hi,

I'm not sure we can even NOT call that a rock opera! That is rather unique and .... Wagner on acid? I think I need to hear more!

BTW, Paul, this band is excellent, and their material is not leaning towards the rock song bs at all ... it is moody, has some far out filmography for some of the pieces, and the moody atmosphere is very neat and well done. 

I suppose this is not listed quite well in our book, but its material is more classically minded than it is anything else. I would almost say that this is artistically oriented stuff, rather than be some kind of a rock band. Heard "Tripper", "Piramida", the piece from "Leaves" (trying to find if there is more!), and working towards the last album to get a better idea and cover more time, in the band's work.

Beautiful stuff ... really special.

ENTRANCE       A tasty Danish confection promising a profusion of Jazz Fusion, but to avoid confusion, it's worth knowing there's at least two other prog bands with the same name. In conclusion, Entrance are pretty good as Jazz Fusion bands go, sounding like a Danish bright and breezy version of Weather Report instead of a stormy gale, so there's no need to head for the Exit before it rains. Wacko

EDENA GARDENS      Edena Gardens sounds like an upmarket address in a salubrious part of town, but it's actually the name of a Space Rock supergroup, consisting of a trio of the best-known Danish musicians no one outside of Denmark has ever heard of. Tongue

As far as I can tell, they're not just samples, but full-length songs in mp3 format. I think some of them duplicate your YouTube links. I haven't had the time I need to give this band a proper listen, but with a discography of over 50 albums, the task seems a little overwhelming at the moment. Anyway, good luck!
Thanks! I noticed there were many missing links for earlier Exxon albums, but at least I had more luck finding YouTube links for Exxon than I did for Etcetera, where there were none at all.

DR. SPACE'S ALIEN PLANET TRIP      Music for space aliens and Scandinavians. Dr. Space's Alien Planet Trip is a 6-part series of solo, ambient space trips from American Scott Heller (Dr. Space), founder of the Oresund Space Collective. To be honest, you'd be better off going into warp drive and taking a detour towards Alpha Centauri just to avoid these six monotonous albums of clone drones. Thumbs Down
