Although biographical information about Miklagård is rather scarce, we know that their keyboardist Thomas Sundström has made a career of composing music for films for Swedish TV. In the late 70's, he got together with drummer Björn Rothstein and bassist Leif Lerman to form Miklagård. The trio released an eponymous album in 1979 of which a mere 1,500 copies were printed; it features Sundström on piano, organ, synths and vocals, Lerman on bass, also sax and vocals, and Rothstein on drums.
Much influenced by ELP, the album presents 6 short tracks and a 13-minute closing epic, the most colourful and varied of the lot. Besides the ELP style, the album also has a strong Italian flavour (think Le Orme), particularly where the vocals are concerned…
