Description/Reviews: 

This is lovely, intense, and beautiful music that is quite different from the recent Scandinavian fare like The Flower Kings, Tangent, White Willow, or Agusa. This music is, to quote Ray Davies, “not like everybody else.” The band, simply known as 1099, moves the old (and often maligned) workhorse known as prog rock into our modern world by fusing warm the beauty of melodies that oscillate, like alternating currents, through the heavy textures of post rock’s cold intense haze.
