Complete thanks to Anteater for finding this gem.

Friendship Time were a prog band that formed in 1970 in Sweden. They were slated to release their first album in 1975, but due to internal conflict and lost interest it was never released. Thankfully some guy found the recordings in his attic in 2004, and the recordings got released by Mellotronen. Anteater heard it was a good album/compilation so he searched hard for it and finally discovered it the other day. Both he and I agree this band could have been huge if they hadn't broken up, and for me personally it's my favorite prog album that I've heard so far. They are very bass-driven, like on Yes's Fragile, but Ant says he thinks the playing is even BETTER than Chris Squire's.

PM me and/or anteater for a link, him being the one who uploaded it of course.
