heh, this guy thought they were making Valhalla Rising music too... Djákninn playing over the film - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZhf98IydQ0 perfect!

other great viking metal from these guys in the sidebars - cool stuff.
Hey!  A group I actually already have.  Except I've got Masterpiece of Bitterness and Kold.  Will have to check out Fjara I guess!  :)
Craig, this is getting out of hand.  Every time someone mentions some obscure band, you've got 3 of there CDs.  You, my friend, have too much time on your hands.  I bet you even have the cult classic "No Howie, More Sheep" EP    ;D

Sure, I've got lots of unrecorded-on CD's sitting right here next to the PC.  ;)  :D

I'm willing to bet you that I have albums from EASILY 500 (maybe 1,000?) artists that you've never heard of.  :)
have any Kebnekaise, craig? I think it might be one of the major plankton influences... :)

kinda pisses me off that all this great music never made it to my ears until now - I mean, 25 years ago, I used to listen to Lotus for extended jamming weirdness... but this stuff just kicks Santana's ass (heh).

three cheers for the internet!
Yessir I do!  :)

I've got Resa Mot Okant Mal (their first), then Kebnekaise II and III (when they couldn't think of album names!).

Just checked and it looks like they've got about half-a-dozen others that I've never heard.  Ljus Från Afrika, Elefanten, Vi Drar Vidare, Kebnekajse (NOW they do the unadorned self-titled album in 2009??? :-?), Idioten and Aventure.

Oh yeah, (HEY HOWIE!) I don't have anything from Lotus.  ;D
2009 might be just the live set... no idea if there was an album.

Lotus... I meant the album, not a band - I'm sure you've got plenty of Santana (probably even Lotus! lol).
Ah, Lotus is an album!  DOH.

I actually don't have a lot of Santana.  Would you believe, I only have Caravanserai, Moonflower, Supernatural and Greatest Hits?  Oh well.

I'm almost far enough with my work stuff that I can return to organizing my music.  Right now, I only have about 25-30% actually in Media Monkey and categorized.  There's a TON of old Prog waiting to be dealt with.  Yeah!  :)
I can't recommend Lotus (heh)... Milagro is a good album imo... otherwise, for earlier stuff, just get Viva Santana for things like this:

That certainly does move!  I like Carlos' really clean-sounding piercing lead tone.  :)
