# Artist Song (click to play) Album Year CD label
1 Kerrs Pink Never Land Art of Complex Simplicity 1997 Musea
This is Kerrs Pink's most recent release. The guitar textures and compositions remind me alot of Steve Hackett and also of Andrew Latimer. Great symphonic music.
 
2 White Willow Snowfall Ignis fatuus 1995 Laser's Edge
Very mellow music with female vocals. Sometimes sounds like the very mellow moments of Anglagard or Sinkadus. A nice album to listen to before sleepy time.
 
3 Anders Helmerson Digital Anthem End of Illusion 1982 Musea
Anders is from Sweden. This sole release by Anders was composed and recorded over the period of 3 years from 1979 to 1981 and was released in 1982 with a very small distribution. By the song titles, and the fact that he is pictured with a Star Wars shirt, it seems that he has an interest in "nerdy" things. Not, that there is anything wrong with that :-) Sometimes, the album is a bit too academic to create music of a memorable quality.
 
4 Akasha Death Hymn Akasha 1977 Ad Perpetuam Memoriam
This is a great space rock/progressive release from Norway. It sometimes remings me of Genesis circa Foxtrot and other times spacey and riffy like Hawkwind. Lots of electronics experimentation thrown in for flavoring, as well.
 
6 Thursaflokkurinn Bunaoarbalkur Thursaflokkurinn a Hijomleikum 1980 Spor (?)
As alluded to before, Thursaflokkurinn are from Iceland. This live album is their third or fourth release.
 
6 Baby Grandmothers Somebody Keeps Calling My Name Love Proge 1968 Love Records
There is not much known about this group. Apparently, they only released one single, of which this song is the extended version. This is only on the Love Proge compilation cd. I am surmising that this group is from Sweden, as Kenny Håkansson is the guitarist.
