powerslaves Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - no they are not underrated... sounds terrible and is not tight at all!

missfriendlybabe Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - real cool i like it its almost a remix on a classical musical peice

kasszandra Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Why is it so difficult to understand this music which was made in the same manner as ELP´s Blue rondo a la Turk ? Pantha Rhei was a very good band with his own distinctive music. I liked them.

Nov 18, 2008 - not bad at all!!!!

Nov 18, 2008 - This is terrible.

Nov 18, 2008 - I HATE synthesisers. Grieg is a great composer, but I wouldn't call this rock music unless they would switch out that annoying synthesiser with an overdrive-effect guitar.

Nov 18, 2008 - Omg. What a terrible way of disgracing Norway and it's culture! I feel sick:S Admins, please remove?The crappiest arrangement I have ever heard. AND REMOVE THE NORWEGIAN FLAG!!

kraftneu Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - How is the song a disgrace, bands like ELP, Ekseption, The Nice etc etc always did Rock / Prog adaptions of Classical Music, there no offensive stuff like NO nudism, swearing or violence.

talikah Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Man....why are all commments so negative? I never heard of this band, but these guys deserve more praise.. never thought such talent flourished behind the Iron Curtain! And let us remember: when the Nice did the same thing with "America", could somebody have foreseen they would also contribute to the pro revolution???L'histoire se repète..

repkow Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - great music, imo. I was expecting the East German 70s band Panta Rhei but this is some great prog, despite socialism and all.

ninaboyarsky Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Excellent piece, I found free sheet music for it on SheetMusicFox DOT com and absolutely love it!

spogee Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Anyone know where I can find a classical piece of Grieg's music? I have a school assignment on him.

thecraprap Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I love the classical peer gynt suite...and this one... I don't see why it's so bad

SchizoidXXI Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - WOW! Great Band! I didn't know them! Have you heard Los Canarios - Ciclos? Los Canarios is another underated band from Spain.Thank you for this treasure!

SmokeCloudz Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Well, i thought it was kinda cool...But the drum rythms sounds weird and messy, and even off beat sometimes.

kraftneu Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Maybe when they recorded this, they probably did not record it as a band together in one go?, maybe the drums would have sounded better if they had played as a band I wonder.

yashil17 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - i had never heared of this song before listening them here and after a month or so i've heared the first song on an azerbiagan t.v commercial

a21gramm Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - You probably never heard about Emerson, Lake & Palmer,...right ?

NASENT Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Is this elp?

kraftneu Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - No, it's from a very obscure Prog rock band from Hungary called 'Panta Rhei'.They were influenced by ELP though.

spankbank87 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - the guitarist from panta rhei is my physics professor at johns hopkins now...interesting career change

Yimbo83 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Just Amazing!!

bossanova3255 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Not bad! Quite surprising how they performed "Anitra's Dance", I never would have imagined that particular piece could be realized as a "fusion-rock" number! But then again all of the classical greats were considered radical in their time..., especially Beethoven & Mussorgsky.But I'll bet a week's pay if ol' Edvard himself were alive..., he'd be jammin' too!
