  Paul Roland should certainly be a connected artist here--he's done a number of songs inspired by folklore, especially in his latest album, Grimm.

  New Russian folk-rock band. Their songs are full of legends and traditions of Mordovia, Finno-Ugric and Russian mythology. I recommend listening to this song: (and very long link:)) http://www.lastfm.ru/music/%D0%9B%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%B8+%D0%9C%D0%B5%D0%B6%D0%B4%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%87%D1%8C%D1%8F/_/%D0%91%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B0+%D0%9C%D0%BE%D1%80%D1%8F%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BC

  My new album is called "The Bok is Flowing" and is free to listen or download. Style: Psychedelia mixed with parody. Tongue-in-cheek prog. http://art-moving-on.blogspot.com/2010/08/new-speculativism-album-bok-is-flowing.html

  Groovy group. I remember of a Dr. Seuss quote - “I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”
