Prog-Sphere forums

I listened to 'six' by soft machine recently, quiet liked it. Van der Graaf Generator didn't do much for actually, but perhaps it will after a few more listens.
Currently I'm also digging the (swedish) jazz trio 'Esbjörn Svensson Trio'. Tuesday Wonderland is a verycool album!

Gilgamesh, I like this! Egg and Soft Machine sound interesting as well, and I think it's safe to expect these other Canterbury bands to be good as well.

On a side note, jaspervemmerik, quite some interesting stuff you got on your site there I'll see if I can record some demos worth for uploading myself soon. I'm experimenting with some music that might be fit for crazy video games, as well as some jazzy prog/death/whatever-metal.

And cool to see you here Magnus! I'll listen through moonmadness.

If we can extend this thread into Norway, I would like to make mention of a recent discovery of mine: Jaga Jazzist. They're an incredibly melodic jazz band from Norway with electronic elements. Lots of different insruments too. But anyway I would definitely recommend Klotet for any fan of Beardfish. As far as I'm concerned there's absolutely no reason a fan of Beardfish would not love Klotet (or vice versa) unless the only think they like in Beardfish is Rikard's vocals/lyrics. Not to say they aren't worth obsessing over, but there's plenty of Beardfish to love other than those elements

Wow, thankyou so much for bringing up Klotet. Just bought En Rak Hoger on itunes, haven't listened to it all yet, but what I have heard is fantastic.

Has anyone heard the new Klotet album? More ear candy!

Don't forget they have a forum here too! http://forum.spa-networks....php?id=509

Påhl Sundström is occasionally online.

I was actually surprised at how quickly he responded to my request when I made it on the forum, considering how empty it is.

That's because I emailed him

Ha, well done! They should probably refresh that email they have listed on their Myspace so you don't have to be bothered every time something like this happens

Klotet and Mats/Morgan are moderately similar, if only for the keyboard/guitar interplay sort of thing... MM are more experimental and Klotet are heavier musically though. But don't take my word for it, keep listening!

You might like some of the stuff we'll have on the blog soon, since you're a fan of SB. I don't know how soon though, they haven't sent their answers back yet... Oh no, I've said too much!
