Thanks Martti I really appreciate it. Always looking to expand on my ever growing Scandinavian music collection. I've got some old school Finnish experimental artists in my collection (Sperm, Esa Kotilainen and a few more) as well as a fair few new ones. Newer favourites include Circle - Pharaoh Overlord (If the Navajo decided to cut a psych album during an inspired peyote trance), Siinai - Olympic Games, Tenhi - Maaet, several of Allah's Mailman albums (damned if I can remember their real name but your written language is bewildering to say the least) and of course the wondrous sounds of Astro Can Caravan. There are more but I forget. I blame christmas gravy for my shortcomings.

Oh and I agree. He should've stuck with his native tongue. Trust me we used to have plenty of those heavily accented bands here in Denmark as well. Folks with but a rudimentary understanding of the English lingo trying to pull it off whilst retaining København and all of its vocal charm. This is also why I used to have a big problem with Eloy. Put on album and I was laughing my arse off from the get-to. Nowadays though I simply zoom him out of the mix and listen to the bass.
Sperm and Circle are really great! I am big Pekka Airaksinen-fan, collected all his 70ties works (there was released a box about them) also lots of his later stuff. Also have quite many Circle albums, they have put out really many albums quite different styles (really heavy to acoustic and even ambient) but always they sound themselves. These others I am not familiar into. Old Finnish prog I really love also Royals "Out"-album. There are few covers in it (for example Beatles Tomorrow Never Knows) but their own material is really great. It is more guitar based than the other seventies Finnish prog, Albert Järvinen was the greatest guitar hero in Finland!
I have to say I don´t know Danish music at all. Can you recommend me one great Danish artist or band (if possible rather from seventies)?

A few names there that somewhat ring a bell but I'm not entirely sure. I will make a note of them and see if I come across something along the way. More Scandinavian old school music pour moi!!!

You don't have any danish music?? Blasphemy! 
Let menregommend you some albums then:
Alrune Rod - Hej Du (hard hitting psychedelically tinged symph with danish vocals)
Secret Oyster - Furtive Pearl (brilliant, complex, warm and melodic jazz rock)
Burnin' Red Ivanhoe - M144 (eclectic early psych prog with loads of wind instruments (same fella that plays sax in Secret Oyster, Karsten Vogel))
Midnight Sun - s/t (Rainbow Band) (Almost sounds like American symph with added Scandinavian psych)
Blast Furnace - s/t (early almost proto sounding prog)
Pan - s/t (ditto)
Culpeper's Orchard - s/t (genuine english vocals with warm psychedelic bluesbased prog)
