So this crazy band from Sweden made this little prog gem of an album in 1976. Can't stop listening to them.

Here's a snippet.

And here's the album.

[Cimmerian Nights]

That track reminds me of some of the proggy stuff Camel did.

The rest of the album fortunately follows suit.

Easily the best thing I heard all year, thanks for this.

So this crazy band from Norway made this little prog gem of an album in 1976. Can't stop listening to them.

Here's a snippet.

And here's the album.

That band is Swedish, or the title is you crazy french canadian biker rapist.

So you are a hippy as well Francis? Figures.

With that said, it is a well played tune.

The rest of the album fortunately follows suit.

Easily the best thing I heard all year, thanks for this.

I've been listening the the first and third track endlessly, it's awesome.

And it does sound a bit like some of Camel's early stuff.



And yeah snake, you're right, they're from Sweden; it's all the same shit anyhow

[Tofu Man]

Funkysfabrik seems like what Gentle Giant would sound like if they had Andy Latimer on guitar
I'd have to agree with you, though, they're at their best when acoustic.

Track 3 is a standout, that and tracks 1, 9 and 10. Vattenpussar reminds me of this, if that makes any sense.

[S4ur0n27]

You might try this as well. Sounds pretty good.

Anyone cares to delete this shit post please?

[MR Snake]

Post deleting again? Susan you french biker rapist, im on to you.

[Tofu Man]

?!?

You guys been smoking something to go with the prog, huh?


And mr. Phillips gets a thumbs up so far. I'll check back when I've listened to the whole thing.

[Cimmerian Nights]

You got to be high to listen to some prog stuff.

More of a fusion/guitar fan myself. Al DiMeola, Mahavishnu Orchestra etc.

[S4ur0n27]

Tofu, listen to this :

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

Quebec prog.

wait for the dancer

[Cimmerian Nights]

You mention prog and Montreal and I think Voivod (albeit progressive metal). I was never a big fan, but I had a copy of Nothingface back in the day and played it to death.

That bass and sax are awesome though. Wish I was 35 years older and lived the '70s

[Tofu Man]

Well, Mr. Phillips definetly gets a big thumbs up. Cross between Genesis and early Oldfield is always good in my books. That is "best" album???

Maneige, for a lack of references, I think, almost completely passed me by. Save minutes 1:25 - 3:25 on part 3/3 (which btw I'll be furiously replaying), I didn't much get everything else. Even with my prog baggage I find some of the "french" stuff a bit too experimental. But let me know if you've got something more mainstream from the same place & time. And you'd probably like these belgians.

Mahavishnu, CM? Fucking Billy Cobham. I love this shit. Y'ever try Kenso, mate? Not bad for a dentist, heh?

And here's a little something. 80's prog for people who don't like 80's prog. Mainly the last 3 tracks. Also best epic guitar solo ever on 5.

[S4ur0n27]

Well you might try Sloche :

But I guess it's even more experimental then Maneige.

And Anthony Phillips is actually a founding member of Genesis. But I don't know his other albums.

Univers Zero sounds good, but sounds a bit too modern to my taste.

hippie girl approves
