I love Wobbler and do agree that Hinterland is one of the best new albums of 2005.

Good music,which I saw referred to before(by Mike,I think)as "regressive" because of the extensive use of vintage keyboards,and a sound faithful to and evocative of 70's symphonic prog.

I think their only weak point is their singer,he just doesn't impress me.

Their keyboardist Lars Frederik Froislie also plays in the band White Willow and they are worth checking out.

Ordered it just this minute, so I expect it next week sometime..., my second 2005 prog album after VdGG - Present.

Not having heard any tracks yet, it'll be a new experience for me.  If I like them, then White Willow maybe next on my list.  I have downloaded the two sample tracks though, but have yet to listen to them, I shall do this later.

I guess Wobbler will have to do until I can finally get copies of Anglagard and Anekdoten's albums.

This CD is excellent, I am enjoying it a lot.  I find the MP3s though are even better, even if they do have processed drums.  The vocalist on the sample MP3s sounds like a cross between Colosseum (Chris Farlowe) and Tempest (Paul Williams) and there is a very catchy singing part in Imperial Winter White Dwarf that reminds me of Colosseum a lot.  The CD still need more listens yet for it to fully impress me.  As much as I love VdGG and Present, I get more enjoyment out of this CD at the moment.  It's currently my album of the year.  Also there is some lovely bass in there too and great mellotron and mini-moog runs.

Who cares if it's not original?  If it's good, it's good.  Highly recommended.

Help please!! I just heard a song by Wobbler on the prog rock radio station and the "Now Playing" screen said

Wobbler (Leprechaun Behind the Door)

It was a GREAT song but when I checked the discography, they only have Hinterland as a release and its not on that CD. Can you guys tell me whats going on? Do they have another release out? I need that song!! Thanks!

I've heard (though not for some time now) that they are working on two new albums, the first will mainly be old materiel re-recorded, or recorded for the first time, and the second will be new materiel. Mind you, the first was supposed to be out this year but not much hance of that happening now.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005
