   -Anyone- listen to these way-obscure Swedish guys? 
Basically...  they like Kansas.  A lot.  The singer
sounds like a cross between Steve Walsh and Ozzy Osbourne (like Steve
Walsh if he were trying to sing like Ozzy...  or Ozzy if he were
trying to sing like Steve ), the music sounds a LOT like Kansas but more keyboard-driven (especially the first album, which has no guitars)...

...in 2004, they re-recorded and re-arranged the first album with
electric guitar, and it's gone from an interesting prog oddity to a
full-blown prog masterpiece, albeit with some rather obvious Kansas
quotes from time to time (both musically and occasionally lyrically).

Still, they're awesome.  The first album's interesting, the second
one is EPIC, and the third is how the first should've been all along.

Any thoughts?

	Swedish and Kansas are good referances. I'd like to listen them.
