Monday Long Song
Träden's musical journey began a very long time ago, in 1969, when the group formed in Sweden as Träd, Gräs och Stenar (which translates as Trees, Grass, and Stones) from the remenents of two other outfits, Pärson Sound and International Harvester. Their story is a convoluted one that, quite frankly, I'm still piecing together myself. The band's moniker was shortened to Träden only last year, to coincide with their tremendous self-titled LP released on the Subliminal Sounds label. From that very record, 'Tamburan' is a meandering 11 minute high point.

Another good one Swede. I was just thinking that a good few of the long songs I have are from Nordic bands.
