This was my favorite song when I was 16, I'm 30 now. Still love it, and still have never met anyone else who likes this shit. It be like that sometimes

This is a masterpiece of Progressive Rock! A great example of Swedish Prog scene! Excellent in all terms! Great production too. Anglagard thanks for your music!
I've got one for you that fits that description: Try "Goddess of Darkness" by Ars Nova. It's an all-instrumental album that sounds like ELP's "Barbarian" all the way through. Keyboards, bass and drums played by 3 Japanese women. It's "dark" without sounding too sinister. Very cool. You can get it fairly cheap at Discogs: www.discogs.com/Ars-Nova-The-Goddess-Of-Darkness/release/560603
If you guys haven't checked it out yet, they JUST released a brand new album this month, 18 years since their previous release (Epilog). It's called Viljans Oga. The album is 4 tracks, the shortest of them being 12 minutes long.
All three of their studio albums are masterpieces IMO. The writing within this group is just so absolutely amazing. The way their compositions develop is on par with some classical masters, and that is the highest compliment a "rock" band could receive. I hope we are lucky enough to hear new music at some point from this band. Please also check out Mattias' amazing band called Necromonkey - very very different from this music - but has that Scandinavian flair and is absolute top shelf as well. Cheers from NY.
20 years from the release date and I'm hearing it for the fist time - what the %&#@ !! Well, at least I finally "discovered" this music. I'm a looooong time Genesis & Yes fan, so this is music to my ears !! Thanks for posting.
I like to think that this and Anekdoten ("Vemod") sparked a revival in the 90s that kept classic prog alive while it was being reinvented and combined with postrock.
Anglagaard is the finest of Port wines from the Douro region in Portugal. Sex pistols is the shipping gift that Baldrick brought to Sir Walter Raleigh and Melchett.
Example: Yes, as you know is one of the most recognized prog-bands. I think they sound like they try to hard all the time. Pink Floyd is more mellow and relaxing, I can agree. Änglagård started in the 90s in Sweden when it was extremely unpopular with prog. You think they cared about that? They wanted to play what they loved and they recorded what imo is 2 of the best prog albums ever made. Extremely talented, so much feeling in all their songs, sounds like no other band.
I'm not sure if what you call "trying too hard" isn't just that they have a higher tolerance for dissonance and abrupt change. You could call them Nordic savages for this -- they certainly don't have the smooth edges of Floyd or Oldfield.
there's a point where better or worse doesn't exist anymore, it's not a competition you cannot shut yourself down to the new contributions to music, these artists don't and they try to generate something original and beautiful nobody will be like PinkFloyd nor better cause they're unique but there are many bands that are or attempt to be unique as well
Hello, does anyone know if the sequence starting at 6:15 was inspired by another song, maybe a popular swedish folk song? I have heard it somewhere else I swear, but I don't know where.
Absolutely brilliant... it's been a while since I looked for this CD. Anyone know if it's in print? It's the kind of music you wish was more prevalent, more available (even among the current prog bands, tracks THIS great are few and far between!)
Don't waste your time on him, man... He's just one these random internet trollz having nothing better to do of their time than shitting on places where they know it will hurt people, and hoping they will react.
One of the most unique sounding song, all instrumental, but very tight and very good feel. Excellent prog song. All elements are very inspiring, the Hammond organ, the drums, the melletron, the guitar. I am a keyboardist myself having so much problems to learn this masterpiece. Please let me know if those geniuses are coming to Israel - my home.. This underrated af.
I don't know what makes you say that - I think this band is excellent. They combine elements both new and old to prog. While it's true that compared to the glorious days of Genesis, Jethro Tull, Yes, Gentle Giant and others, they are not very good, comparing pretty much any prog band to the ones mentioned above is stupid. But as a band of its own right, it is excellent. Why look at the negative aspects when there are so many positive ones?
Nope, I can not agree with you. I think you haven't listened to it enough. How can you say that it's not natural? I can't say that all prog-bands from the 70s sounded "Natural", with most of them you can actually hear that they try really hard... but that doesn't mean that it's not good. Many of them also sound alike, Änglagård has an entirely different sound. The mix of classical, Swedish folk, 70s prog makes it sound like an amazingly mystic and evil mix that I've never heard in my life.
Like with most prog it's not something you usually like when you hear it for the first time. When someone recommends something I always try to listen a whole album, at least 2-3 times before I make any opinion of weather it's good or bad.
Not trained enough and nobody cares, you don't have to prove anything. You should listen to more music and shut up. This is the first time I listen to this band and the music quality in every single level is terrific. BTW, you're giving a bad name to every Pink Floyd fan using that nickname and acting judgmental and arrogant.
This was my favorite song when I was 16, I'm 30 now. Still love it, and still have never met anyone else who likes this shit. It be like that sometimes
Since you're 30 and you listen to this I'm assuming you know some good underground bands, any recommendations sir?

Για εμενα ειναο το Νο 1 πλεον
Of all the bands of the 90s that I've heard, this has got to be one of the best!
Selling Sweden by the krona
Street shitter
I agree that this album is on a similar level to sebtp
I can’t unlisten it now 😂
took me way too long to get this joke. I thought a band called The Krona made a song called Selling Sweden and was getting nowhere with google.
@@OakVolcano7858 on similar "sound" or "taste" maybe but not level of course. Very good album anyway.
Greetings from Turkey...
Masterpiece! Greetings from Istanbul!
swedish people are very luck to have this superb band and to listen their native language.
And I’m lucky to understand it as a Norwegian!
Sometimes it’s better not to understand the lyrics - like with PFM
Yes. I am lucky to understand the lyrics!
This is real good prog-music! Greetings from Italy
Ilove this album for the first time i hear it and still today
Great song from a great band, Sweden does have some incredible music.
I'm instantly impressed! This is exactly what I was looking for-something dark, but not too dark.

Yes it is, ranking up there with all the excellent 90's prog bands that came right out of your own back yard!
Love that -Mellotron- ( *update* : commenters correctly point out it is an organ) surge at 4:45 -- it says, "Prog is BACK!"
Back from where?
@@mikereiss4216 from punk
@@eskere7921 Prog never got married to punk.They had a brief affair and a few illegitimate children but that's about it.
That's a pipe organ.
wtf you talking about 4:45 is an organ, not the mellotron lol

This is seriously one of the greatest songs to come out of the prog genre. Damn! do I love this fucking song.
I've listened to this specific song for years as the Pinnacle of prog. It is incredible even coming back to it after years of not listening to it
Greetings from Costa Rica!
Linda mae
This song is incredible. .
SI PUES CON RAZON ESTAN DENTRO DE LAS MEJORES BANDAS DE ROCK PROGRESIVO DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS... MAMA-LO-DIJO!!!
I have acquired this album today! My 2nd favorite of all time.
Gosto bastante dessa banda.
Junto com Anekdoten, o melhor do progressivo sueco. Bom demais!!!
this shits on the sex pistols

Gracias Anglagard por tan bella música
Wow! Very intricate piece! Selling Stockholm by the pound...wonderful!
Très intéressant, j'ai acheté 2 albums et j'aime leur fraîcheur, leur complexité de mise en place, leurs sons............
Wow, what an incredible song.
I like that part at 4:48 when Rick Wakeman comes in :P
I think best prog song 90'years
They coming to BajaProg festival next week. Cheers to all of you progs!!!
A masterpiece.! Headphone on and play it loud with eyes closed. And ... when will Anglagard make a new album??
All Traps on Earth, _A Drop of Light_
Huge art!
these guys are amazing .. good shit
Probably, It would be very surprising for those Swedish guys to witness how popular this album is among prog rock listeners(which are many) in Turkey.

Awesome!
Incredible.
The new Genesis Blood!.. Sounds a little bit like Genesis ( 1972-1977)
Det är ett fint band
excellent
this make me feel sick... great soundtrack!
brilliant
amazing
What's in the water in Sweden,between these guys and Beardfish,WOW.
Superb progressive song
Fuck Yeah, this kicks ass
Que hermosa canción *u*
Adoro
aw shiezuz christ this is the sheit for real, gotta check this band
I hope this album gets a remaster. Probably the best music to come out of the 90s prog revival but the mixing on it just doesn't do it justice.
this reminds me of Mega Man X. it's really cool.
there's a point where better or worse doesn't exist anymore, it's not a competition
you cannot shut yourself down to the new contributions to music, these artists don't and they try to generate something original and beautiful
nobody will be like PinkFloyd nor better cause they're unique but there are many bands that are or attempt to be unique as well
as soon as i read "swedish prog band" i knew it would kick ass
me gusto! .. me encanto!
Hello, does anyone know if the sequence starting at 6:15 was inspired by another song, maybe a popular swedish folk song? I have heard it somewhere else I swear, but I don't know where.
Sounds like something off ff7 or something
brilliant between 16 and 21 years old then they have do this one....
The best prog rock is going to happen in the future.
8 or 9 years later, prog rock and metal are dropping some of the best records in the genre
The key board in the beginning sounds so dark
Absolutely brilliant... it's been a while since I looked for this CD. Anyone know if it's in print? It's the kind of music you wish was more prevalent, more available (even among the current prog bands, tracks THIS great are few and far between!)
A. Horne Yes, you can find it on Amazon. Great album, as are all the studio albums by Anglagard.

This totally reminds me of an endless sporadic. Fuck this is bra
keep calm and prog on.
The keyboard at 5:08
Reminds me of Schicke Führs Frohling...
It should, this was borrowed from side two of Symphonic Pictures.
Hey try asia minor - northern lights and nightwind. 1981 album Between flesh and divine. Turkish prog.
Love it
@FabioLavanna Hi I'll be there, Toronto Canada.

thats funny like country and western and blues doesnt all sound the same LOL

Owew owew
sounds like flower kings another swedish band

Yeah this album is brilliant, to bad its so ridiculously overpriced on vinyl :(
Over...priced! Nah!
Nope, I can not agree with you. I think you haven't listened to it enough. How can you say that it's not natural?

Mozart-rock
Oh, but you must ask yourself - are you trained enough to hear actual prog?
While I think the answer is "No", your thoughts may differ.
@yugoroth1 *the best.
wrong. there is no "pinnacle" of progressive rock. since that is the complete opposite of progression
thank you sir
my ears are well trained from a young age trust me pal
And he calls himself ''Pinkfloydrulez''. Troll.
Better keep listening Justin Bieber
listen to more 90s prog revival, it's all cheesy nonsense that wishes it was ~one of the greats~
Clearly good players, but this lacks the compositional coherence of Yes or Genesis. We are fortunate to have lived in the time of those two giants.
Coherence, doesn't that simply mean its more accessible? I think their composition is awesome.
It's not really less coherent or less accessible. Look up "through-composition"; it's a very intentional choice and how they write all of their songs.
You shouldn't deserve even listening to Floyd.
Not trained enough and nobody cares, you don't have to prove anything. You should listen to more music and shut up.
This is the first time I listen to this band and the music quality in every single level is terrific.
BTW, you're giving a bad name to every Pink Floyd fan using that nickname and acting judgmental and arrogant.
and, y'know, not sucky
lmfao okay
excuse me for liking my prog to be progressive
Pink Floyd are too Slow to be Prog,They Lumber along like an Old Tortoise 😂
