I have the two Saga albums on one CD, which I haven't listened to in
ages (I must do so), but I never got around to exploring more of their
music, thanks for the reminder!
It's funny you should mention the Flower
Kings, as they are probably
the furthest from the bands I had in mind. I've heard a fair amount
of their stuff on internet radio and I didn't find them to my taste,
hyperpolished modern production, remorselessly upbeat and cheerful.
I've always thought that there's a large divide in Scandinavian prog
bands, with the upbeat, cheery bands like FK and Moon Safari on one
side and the remorselessly gloomy or melancholic bands like
Änglagård, Anekdoten, Liquid Scarlet, Sinkadus, White Willow and
Wobbler (to name a few, but not all of those are symphonic prog) at
the other extreme, with not much in the middle.
Do not forget Isildurs Bane ! ;-)
Cheers.
