Some more Swedish prog: fans of Hansson and Klotet would probably find Flasket Brinner interesting. Hansson guested on one of their albums, but I forget which. There's also Kaipa, for those who haven't heard of them. Kaipa was Roine Stolt's first band. They released three REALLY REALLY AMAZING symphonic prog albums in the 70's before Roine left and they released two bad pop albums. Then the leader, Hans Lundin (keyboardist) reformed the band with Roine Stolt in 2000 and they've made five albums to date with the new lineup. Three of which included Stoltm but I believe all of them include Jonas Reingold.

Oh, I forgot to mention. Morgan Agren of Mats & Morgan is Kaipa's drummer.

Also worth mentioning vocalist Patrik Lundström, from the excellent band Ritual (another one to check out!)

Speaking of Patrik, first time I've heard him singing in reformed Kaipa, I've thought it's Goran Edman, even now when I listen to new Kaipa albums, this guy reminds me of Edman


I've noticed that you guys have mentioned here some bands/artists which were interested for me and TheDogman (as the editors of Prog Sphere blogzine), so I'm sure that you are going to enjoy reading something soon

Unfortunately, Nick and I don't listen to Brighteye Brison, so we wouldn't know what to ask them. As for Black Bonzo... well... we can't talk about that for the time being, but we'll get back to you.

I may be able to persuade 3 of those to speak to you... Let me see what I can do.

Get me Mikael Akerfeldt and I'll pay you in gold And if you get Gildenlow as a bonus... Well... er... You'll get more gold.

Btw, get Elephant9, they have released two albums so far, and second one is brilliant. For the fans for Bosse Hansson (especially his work with Karlsson), Bootcut, but with different approach. Maye you'll know them if I say that the drummer is involved in Norwegian avant-garde jazz band Shining (Torstein Lofthus) and the mainman behind this, Ståle Storløkken (fender rhodes, hammond organ and synthesizer) is known by his playing in Supersilent. They have a bassist, Nikolai Hængsle Eilertsen (The National Bank).

Yeah, I used to read his blogs, but then he decided to shut his MySpace profile down. I guess he has become tired of maintaining all that and also receiving thousands of emails and stuff...

what a turd that song is
