 Topic: Your favourite Nordic progressive music albums?Posted: October 26 2024 at 09:01 |

There's been a thread about your top Nordic prog bands, but how about your favourite albums, which I find to be most interesting. That includes of course again artists from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, and my favourite albums are (in chronological order): Bo Hansson (S) - Sagan om Ringen (1970) Ache (DK) - De Homine Urbano (1970) Burnin’ Red Ivanhoe (DK) - W.W.W. (1971) Älgarnas Trädgård (S) - ”Framtiden är ett svävande skepp...(1972) Savage Rose (DK) - Dødens Triumf (1972) Secret Oyster (DK) - Sea Son (1974) Wigwam (FIN) - Being (1974) Made In Sweden (S) - "Where Do We Begin" (1976) Jukka Tolonen (FIN) - A Passenger to Paramaribo (1977) Sievert, Tolonen et.al. (DK, FIN) - After Three Days (1978)* Bazaar (DK) - Bazaar Live (1978)* Änglagård (S) - Hybris ( Landberk (S) - Rigtigt Äkta (1992) Anekdoten (S) - Vemod (1993) White Willow (N) - Sacrament (2000) Hidria Spacefolk (FIN) - Symbiosis (2002) Opeth (S) - Damnation (2003) Green Carnation (N) - The Acoustic Verses (2006) Goat (S) - Commune (2014) * not on PA Edited by David_D - November 05 2024 at 17:22 |

Jordsjø - Nattfiolen. It's not only a great album but it's very "Nordic" in terms of the atmosphere.

You seem to be rather or very fond of Nordic prog music, Hrychu, and know much about it.

I had a considerably longer list of acts that I culled from for Paul's topic and wish I had saved. I did set up a rule that the album should be in PA, so if so it is fair game. I would have liked to add some more now but my wife needs this computer and is hovering right over me waiting. By the way, I also love Nordic TV and movies.
Some bands with albums I love: Älgarnas Trädgård - Framtiden är ett svävande skepp, förankrat i forntiden (Sweden, 1972) Anna Sjalv Tredje - Tussilago Fanfara (Sweden, 1977) Dungen - Ta det lugnt (Sweden, 2004) Elephant9 with Reine Fiske - Silver Mountain (Norway, 2015) Fire! Orchestra - Arrival (Sweden, 2019) Goat - World Music (Sweden, 2012) Gösta Berlings Saga - Detta har hänt (Sweden, 2009) Haikara - Haikara (Finland, 1972) Höyry-kone - Hyönteisiä voi rakastaa (Finland, 1995) Kultivator - Barndomens Stigar (Sweden, 1981) Morte Macabre - Symphonic Holocaust (Sweden, 1998) Motorpsycho and Ståle Storløkken - The Death Defying Unicorn (Norway, 2012) Ragnarök - Ragnarök (Sweden, 1976) Samla Mammas Manna - Måltid (Sweden, 1973) Sigur Rós - Ágætis byrjun (Iceland, 1999) Von Zamla - Zamlaranamma (Sweden, 1982) Zamla Mammaz Manna - Familjesprickor (Sweden, 1980) Some artists I love: Björk - Homogenic (Iceland, 1997) Jan Garbarek [Quartet] - Afric Pepperbird (Norway, 1970) Bo Hansson - Sagan om ringen (Sweden, 1970) Anna von Hausswolff - Dead Magic (born Sweden, moved to Denmark, 2018) Bjorn J:Son Lindh - Från storstad till grodspad (Sweden, 1971) Susanne Sundfør - Ten Love Songs (Norway, 2015) Terje Rypdal - Odyssey (Norway, 1975) EDIT: I did not get a chance to add some of my Danish favourites: Causa Sui - Euporie Tide (Denmark, 2013) Culpeper's Orchard - Culpeper's Orchard (Denmark, 1970) Dr. Dopo Jam - Entree (Denmark, 1973) The Savage Rose - Dødens Triumf (Denmark, 1972) Secret Oyster - Straight to the Krankenhaus (Denmark, 1976) Edited by Logan - October 27 2024 at 09:47 |

Vesilinja from Finland is also spectacular. Especially their third album, which features the band's debut 20 minute epic.

The Norwegian Green Carnation is mostly known and appreciated for their Prog Metal album Light of Day, Day of Darkness (2001), which consists of one 60-minutes-long song. Personally, I definitely prefer their fifth album, Acoustic Verses (2006) with its beautiful ballads and a couple of long, pastoral tracks; all in retro style and yet peppered by some grungy vocals, of the more gentle kind though. Here's the longest track, "9-29-045": Edited by David_D - October 31 2024 at 16:27 |

As I don't find it to be particularly progressive, to begin with, I did not put on my list here Dødens Triumf (The Triumph of Death, 1972) by the Danish Savage Rose. It's some music written for a ballet by one of the most appreciated choreographers in the '70s Denmark, Flemming Flindt, and a ballet based on Jeu de Massacre, a play by E. Ionescu. After second thought, I've included this album by the one of the most well-known bands in Denmark , and here's a track from it: Edited by David_D - November 06 2024 at 08:50 |

When talking about Danish progressive music, I have to say that it's not something which impresses me very much. I find some which I like, and some even much, in the 1970s, but certainly very little in the post-'70s. Edited by David_D - November 10 2024 at 13:26 |

That's a fantastic list of Nordic prog albums! It highlights a diverse range of styles from early experimental acts like Bo Hansson and Savage Rose to modern prog like Opeth and Goat. The inclusion of landmark albums from bands like Änglagård and Anekdoten showcases a deep appreciation for both the classic and contemporary Nordic progressive rock scenes.
