ead Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Any love for Swedish prog on here? Good gig last night in a very nice venue that I had not visited previously. Timothy Taylor's Landlord on too so happy all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Yes and no. Prog was a political movement more than a musical one back in the seventies, so for me a lot of it was not interesting, as they had progressive lyrics on basic folk or singer/songwriter music. Samla Mammas Manna (a.k.a. Zamla Mammaz Manna, a.k.a. von Zamla), however, was musically exciting, with a vengeance. Of later bands, I love Anekdoten. Though based on seventies prog, they have their own identity and originality, I think. Flower Kings did not rock my boat when I heard some of their work. They seemed epigonous to me. I'm willing to be corrected on this though. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Mixed feelings over Flower Kings, some stuff I find good and on other occasions I can barely listen to them. Last album was OK though so had they been playing a little closer to home I would have liked to have seen them at least once. Which songs from the recent album did they do?
