Rökstenen – A Tribute to Swedish Progressive Rock of the 70´s


2307928
Boxen innehåller 3 timmar musik, 38 bidrag och en 80 sidig booklet med information. Det är ett projekt som så att säga knyter ihop de äldre svenska banden med de yngre.

Initiativet kommer från Collosus Projects - The Finnish Progressive Music Association.

Jag skickade några mailfrågor till initiativtagaren, Marco Bernard, och fick följande svar:

Q - From where did this idea arise?
A - After having released two tributes to Finnish progressive rock (Tuonen tytär I and II on Mellow Records and Musea respectively) I've decided that it was time for a Swedish tribute.

Q - How did the project develope?
A - It took over 1 and half year to complete the project and creat a 80 pages booklet full of information regarding the genre.

Q - Did the artists pick their own songs or were they suggested to them?
A - Yes, most picked up their own favourite but some bands needed some help

Q - What is The Collosus Project?
A - Colossus projects are a combination of ideas brought to reality, further to the tributes we also put up concepts based on movies or books themes where the artist can compose their own music inspired by it.

Q - Any other information that you could share?
A - Be prepared for "Purgatorio", it is another quadruple CDs box-set which follows the highly acclaimed "Inferno" released last year.

Regards - Marco
