Anekdoten |
The Flow |
Vemod |
1993 |
Virta |
|
Very hard prog. King Crimson inspired. Seemingly one of the most popular of
all of the 90's prog bands.

Simon Says |
Under the Seal |
Ceinwen |
1995 |
Bishop Garden Records |
|
Great bass sound that reminds me of Trettioariga Kriget's bass player.
Very nice fluid guitar playing. The vocalist reminds me of Peter Nichols
of IQ. I think the music is also somewhat comparable to IQ.

Isildur's Bane |
The Pilot |
Mind Volume 1 |
1997 |
Svenska Unikum |
|
Like Isildur Bane's other releases, this is kind of a jazzy symphonic prog.
This album is sometimes reminiscent of Frank Zappa's compositions, especially Sleep Dirt,
Studio Tan, et al, though not particularly on this song.

Garmarna |
Varulven / Werewolf |
God's Musicians |
1996 |
Omnium |
|
This is not overtly prog, but, I think it may be of interest to many prog fans.
The best aspect of this group, for me, is Emma Hardelin's voice. This is
their 3rd release. The first in an EP. They just released a new album this
month, but, I have not heard it, yet.

Zamla Mammaz Manna |
Ventilation Calculation |
FamilyCracks |
1980 |
Silence Records |
|
Very complex and interesting stuff. I am liking Samla/Zamla more
and more everytime that I listen. One of the original RIO bands.

Morte Macabre |
Apoteosi del Mistero |
Symphonic Holocaust |
1998 |
Mellotronen |
|
A new collaboration between members of Anekdoten and Landberk.
Dark music loaded with Mellotrons.
