[Toccata]

How do you explain the appearance of this big quantity of the new excellents Prog. Bands in a so short time came from Sweden , a country without a Rock Progressive past?
Excellent Prog. Groups like: The Flowerkings, Carptree, Beardfish, Pain of Salvation, Kaipa, etc...........?

Don't forget Black Bonzo and Ritual, both are playing at ROSfest '08. Also from Sweden is Anekdoten and Galleon among many more.

if you include Finland and Norway too you'll get an area that rivals Italy for greatness.

Anekdoten, Angalard, Galleon, Isildurs Bane, Par Lindh, Zello...

Probably my 2nd favorite 'region' for music after Japan, but maybe as much as South America, but then again there's the Italian stuff... oh @#$%^&!

[Toccata]

MrMAg, do you have any link about the Japanese Prog. Rock, if you have please send to me, right.
Bye.

I've been using the Synphonic country (http://synphonic.8m.com/country/) page to explore music - Greg's comments are usually pretty spot on - then using Prog Archives (http://www.progarchives.com/) to check reviews as well.

Thanks!
Bye Friend!!:winkies:
