*. The Hypnomen .*

Album: Dreaming of the New Dawn (2007)
Genre: Prog Rock (Crossover/Jazz/Funk/Psych.)  /  Finland

The band was formed in year 1994 as a duo project, which expanded to trio and did their first official release of their instrumental rock in 1997. During the early years of new millennia the band got more players, and they developed their sound towards more artistic heights. Their music has hints of psychedelia mixed to pleasant and accessible mixture of groovy detailed rock and funk. Their large discography and constant concert stage presence in Finland provides a steady flow of positive vibes to any willing listeners. From the progressive rock context their style could be compared to a funkier incarnation of HANSSON & KARLSSON with more players on stage. The keyboard player and the drummer of this group actually have also a similar kind of duo group NIEMINEN & LITMANEN, as the group referred. (Prog Archives)
