Think Like a Mountain, by Ritual (2003): Most of the Swedish prog I've heard is in the symphonic vein, from Angalgaard and Anekdoten to The Flowe Kings and Valinor's Tree. I got this album thinking it would be similar, but there's a deep vein of folk influence to Rituals music. Lots of interesting folk rhythms and non-standard instruments (bazouki, hammered dulcimer) really bring it out. That makes it fairly unique in my collection.
