Greetings from Sweden

Hi!

My name is Leo Friberg and I am from Sweden.

I have visited progarchives many times before but it is just recently I registered here. It is a fantastic site!

I am 41 years and I live in a little town called Borås.

I have been listening to progressive rock since I was a teenager. I felt in love with King Crimsons debut album since the first time I heard it. Magical music which still sounds so fresh today. One of the first psych/prog albums I heard was actually Black Widow - Sacrifice. I bought the album because of the cover, I thought it looked interesting. It sort of introduced me to a new kind of music when I was about 16-17 years old...Before that I had listened to my father playing some sort of swedish traditional folk music. He plays violin. And I listened a lot to 60s pop/psych music, like Beach Boys, Beatles and more. Also when I was very young I loved russian classical music.

So what more can I say. I have listened to most of the classic progressive rock albums and by some reason I think that Italian Progressive Rock has most of my favorites: Il balletto di bronzo, Banco, Pfm, Le Orme, Quella Vecchia Locanda and many more. I like very much progressive folk / psychadelic folk / acid folk music like Comus, Incredible String Band, Forest and more. I listen mostly to prog but find it also very interesting to explore ethnic folk music from all over the world. My prefered style is often folk from East Europe. I like also experimental music in general, ambient music, industrial music, powerpop (Jellyfish being a favorite band) and many other genres. I love music in general.

I have some music projects also. I play acoustic guitar, some piano and try to sing. The music I make is sort of Folk/Singer-songwriter/sometimes maybe Acid Folk...I also make sounds and more ambient/experimental music. Enough said about me. Thanks everyone for reading.

Best wishes
