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.

Jordsjø - Nattfiolen. It's not only a great album but it's very "Nordic" in terms of the atmosphere. ------------- “On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.” — Ernest Vong |

You seem to be rather or very fond of Nordic prog music, Hrychu, and know much about it. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

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) ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Vesilinja from Finland is also spectacular. Especially their third album, which features the band's debut 20 minute epic. ------------- “On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.” — Ernest Vong |

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": ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

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: ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |
