    "Swedish artists were - and sometimes still are - prime at the retro-game"

    A quote from our own brother Scrotum. OK, here's the spot to elaborate. Remember, camples are acceptable and expected (but let's not go full Svetonio with this thing).
    I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down.'- Bob Newhart

    Well, just to state the absolutely obvious for starters:

    "Improvisation is not an excuse for musical laziness" - Fred Frith
    "[...] things that we never dreamed of doing in Crimson or in any band that I've been in," - Tony Levin speaking of SGM

    Glad you posted this, as it's a great example even if an obvious one. Familj happens to be one of my favorite songs ever, by anyone.

    Nice Korg MS 20 I think
    I would rather have seen more of the group and less other stuff. Like the music.

    I love the vibe on this

    Another of the subliminal acts:


    One of the characters who initiated this Whole thing (and Spacefreak/Spyros will know all about it) was St. Mikael, an enigmatic art-school dude from the early/mid-80s. He has released some albums which are rightfully legendary on their turf, but remains pretty much legendarily obscure even in the domain of Swedish "deep" neo-psychedelia. It's hard to find early clips of him, but no one - none - during the years of '90s Nordic Prog renaissance' failed to know his stuff.



    And then the legends:

    "Improvisation is not an excuse for musical laziness" - Fred Frith
    "[...] things that we never dreamed of doing in Crimson or in any band that I've been in," - Tony Levin speaking of SGM

    My favorite is Avatarium for fans of classic era Rainbow, Deep Purple, Sabbath, Uriah Heep etc. This lady sure can sing:

    Half of my 2017 listening was comprised of Swedish and Norwegian "retro" Prog.

    There are a couple of obscure names coming up to me. Anglagard, Anekdoten, Opeth etc.
