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 /Leo

Välkommen! BTW, jag väldigt gillar svensk prog och progg musik. :) The Flower Kings är min favoritmusikgrupp. Jag också strävar att lära mig svenska. ;p ------------- “On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.” — Ernest Vong |

Maybe I need to move to Sweden. I’m 45 and feeling old. Though I seem to have aged more in the last few months than the entire rest of my life. Bloody COVID-19...... What has got me through has definitely been music. The best medicine. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

That's like the first flush of youth as far as I'm concerned.
