A Swedish quintet described in the review as a progressive/symphonic band. Debut album Ceinwen (1995) is mentioned; later albums include Paradise Square and Tardigrade. The review discusses lineup and musical style in detail.

From the review: members mentioned include Daniel Fäldt (vocals), Jonas Hallberg (guitar), Magnus Paulsson (keyboards, described as a newcomer on the reviewed album), Stefan Renström (bass) and Matti Jarlhed (drums). The band is characterized as progressive/symphonic with occasional metal pulses; their albums referenced in the review are Ceinwen, Paradise Square and Tardigrade. The reviewed album received a 3/5 rating from Giona.

A literate, critical review of Simon Says' Tardigrade that praises moments of keyboard and guitar while faulting the vocals and overall cohesion. The reviewer rates the album 3/5. The band is described as a Swedish quintet with a symphonic/progressive approach.

For:Fans of progressive and symphonic rock; readers who appreciate analytical, literary music criticism.

 Tardigrade, an ambitious symphonic colossus that, from the very first note, imitates the "voice of a friend" common to all lovers of progressive culture, lost in the "Banksian" landscapes of "Wind and Wuthering" and incessantly evoked by an endless array of epigones, never truly capable of exploring that enchanted environment without losing their bearings and ending up on already trodden paths or facing insurmountable obstacles.
