\u201cSo what\u00b4s in the water in Sweden and can I import some?\u201d<\/p>\n

Detta citat \u00e4r titeln p\u00e5 en tr\u00e5d som f\u00f6r ett tag sedan d\u00f6k upp p\u00e5 Progressive Ears. Ett forum d\u00e4r folk fr\u00e5n hela v\u00e4rlden diskuterar progressiv rock. Man utforskar, utreder, v\u00e4nder och vrider p\u00e5 och analyserar denna musikform.<\/p>\n

Denna tr\u00e5d om den svenska progrockens f\u00f6rtr\u00e4fflighet startades av gimmetrons fr\u00e5n Ohio, USA. Han skrev s\u00e5 h\u00e4r:<\/p>\n

\u201cReading the thread on Moon Safari and getting ready to download some of their back catalog on emusic got me thinking ”Here is yet another amazing band from Sweden, a country of about 9.3 million people. How much PROG per capita can that place deliver???”<\/p>\n

The whole Flower King empire and spinoffs are just the tip of the iceberg over there. I could go on about Anekdoten and Anglagard, Beardfish, Brighteye Brison, Carptree, Bodin’s seemingly underappreciated Eggs and Dogs (great harmonies!), Karmakanic, Pain Of Salvation…<\/p>\n

Can any other nation lay claim to as many great prog artists these days? I am constantly amazed, and sometimes I’m ready to relocate to Uppsala or something…\u201d<\/p>\n

Vi h\u00f6r ofta tals om det svenska popundret, som g\u00e5r ut p\u00e5 att Sverige \u00e4r det land som n\u00e4st efter USA och England producerar och exporterar mest popul\u00e4rmusik. Men att n\u00e5got liknade g\u00e4ller den progressiva rocken \u00e4r inte lika k\u00e4nt.<\/p>\n

Diskussionen som f\u00f6ljde p\u00e5 Progressive Ears om svensk musik blev ganska snart politisk. M\u00e5nga pekade p\u00e5 att v\u00e5rt v\u00e4l utbyggda v\u00e4lf\u00e4rdssystem med fri musikundervisning i skolorna kan vara en bidragande orsak till framg\u00e5ngarna.<\/p>\n

Men f\u00f6rklaringen till varf\u00f6r v\u00e5rt land \u00e4r s\u00e5 framst\u00e5ende n\u00e4r det g\u00e4ller progressiv rock (och en rad andra musikstilar) tror jag kommer att forts\u00e4tta vara ett mysterium. Man kan f\u00f6rst\u00e5s spekulera hit och dit om klimatet, ett h\u00f6gt materiellt v\u00e4lst\u00e5nd, v\u00e5r folkmusiktradition, att svenska \u00e4r ett melodiskt spr\u00e5k eller den kommunala musikskolan. Men det kommer inte att bli mer \u00e4n gissningar.<\/p>\n

Ett intressant faktum \u00e4r att Norge, som har f\u00e4rre inv\u00e5nare \u00e4n Sverige, ocks\u00e5 radar upp en l\u00e5ng rad mycket bra progrockband (White Willow, Gazpacho, Magic Pie).<\/p>\n

gimmetrons observation \u00e4r hur som helst korrekt. Flera av de svenska progrockgrupperna levererade 2010 hyperstarka album. M\u00e5nga av dem har h\u00f6jts till skyarna internationellt.<\/p>\n

Att Opeth uppm\u00e4rksammas \u00e4r f\u00f6rst\u00e5s inte s\u00e5 konstigt. Men \u00e4ven de mindre banden r\u00f6ner uppskattning inom de kretsar d\u00e4r man f\u00f6rst\u00e5r att uppskatta musik med hj\u00e4rna, hj\u00e4rta, mellotron och l\u00e5tar i 13\/7-dels takt.<\/p>\n

Som vanligt f\u00e5r de allt f\u00f6r lite uppm\u00e4rksamhet hemmavid. Fr\u00e5ga vem som helst p\u00e5 gatan vad Moon Safari \u00e4r f\u00f6r n\u00e5got och de flest kommer att skaka p\u00e5 huvudet.<\/p>\n

Mycket f\u00e5 skulle svara att det \u00e4r en progressiv rockgrupp fr\u00e5n Skellefte\u00e5 som bygger sina vackra l\u00e5tar p\u00e5 avancerade k\u00f6rararrangemang.<\/p>\n

Deras ny album Lovers End har r\u00f6nt stor uppskattning internationellt.<\/p>\n
