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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

You got to be high to listen to some prog stuff.
More of a fusion/guitar fan myself. Al DiMeola, Mahavishnu Orchestra etc.

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

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.

Well you might try Sloche :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhUwtnAJcDs
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.
