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.

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.

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.
