Ragnarök - Ragnarök 1976

Not to be confused with the New Zealand symphonic prog group from those very same years (that should belong in the site soon) or the Heavy Metal unit from the 80-90's, these Swedes managed four albums on Silence Record and some more (not listed here) in the early 90's. They are a typical example of atmospheric and melancholic prog like only Sweden can produce them. Their first album is a real classic known as a minor classic among progheads and they will participate to another group (KUNG TUNG - much harder) before doing their second album where those influences from that group will leave a mark. It is reputed to be as good as their debut. The later albums listed here remain of a good standard. Among the non-listed albums is "Well"(91) and is rather new age and sometimes industrial - not much to do with the earlier works.

Folks, if a record's artwork ever looked like the way the music sounded, it's this one. Dreamy, melancholy, haunting instrumental, folkish tunes. A little like Popol Vuh's mid 70s work. If that description interest you even slightly, then download this immediately and thank Carlos later :)
