The great and good of progressive music give us a glimpse into their prog worlds. As told to Grant Moon.

Where's home?

Gustavsberg, just outside Stockholm in Sweden.

What's your earliest memory of prog?

Listening to Bo Hansson's album Music Inspired By Lord Of The Rings. My parents used to put it on at times when I was a kid. I had no idea it was called prog back then, though.

What was the first prog album you bought?

A friend of mine's dad came by one day and put the first [self-titled] album by Liquid Tension Experiment album on. When I found out there was a prog record store in the next town I went there and bought albums as soon as I could. The first one I bought with my own money was Liquid Tension Experiment 2.

And the most recent?

It was Spock's Beard's The Archaeoptimist. I love Spock's Beard — all their albums are killer!

What was your first prog gig?

That would have been Mats/Morgan Band at Umeå Jazz Festival in 2004.

And the latest?

Inspired by the floral tributes left on graves, the band have coined a musical language to communicate the emotions of grief that words can't always convey. Guitarist Takaakira ‘Taka’ Goto and producer Brad Wood reflect on their late collaborator Steve Albini and moving forward with new ideas.
