Take the ELP technique, add the soulfulness and tragedy of the Genesis of the 75-80s period and get the classic Galleon of the 1992-2000 period. According to critics, Beyond Dreams-2000 is compared with Rush and IQ, Dream Theater's and Eloy, Genesis and Arena. I think every fan of prog-rock will definitely find something new and familiar in this wonderful Swedish band...

Micke Varn - guitars. Goran Fors - bass and vocals. Dan Fors-drums formed in 1985 under the name ARAGON. These were experiments with various musical directions. In 1989, material for the disc was ready, but the recording studio recommended that they change their name. In the same year, ARAGON became GALLEON. But the release of the album was delayed for a number of reasons (the drummer's illness, the departure of the keyboardist Ulf Pettersson, who became a member of the group in 1991). In 1992, the first Lynx disc was finally released. After the release of this album, the group signed a contract with the Japanese company ZERO CORPORATION. The keyboardist left the band again, but only the good sale of the first-born and the strong recommendations of the Japanese managers contributed to the return of Ulf Petterson to the group. After the return of the keyboardist, concerts were given both at home and in Europe. In principle, Galleon needed a keyboardist only for "live" performances. By the release of the second album, the bass guitarist and vocalist of the group Goran Fors recorded all the keyboards for the new disc himself. The second disc HERITAGE AND VISIONS - 94 was received very well by both critics and listeners. Echoes of GENESIS (75-80) and influence of ELP (71-73) are heard in it. There were tracks with a length of 10-15 minutes. Syncopation, a frequent change of themes and rhythms, became characteristic. The music has become much more complex. The other two discs KING OF ARAGON-1995 and THE ALL EUROPEAN HERO - 1996 are sustained in this style. It is strongly recommended to all lovers of beautiful, long solo keyboard passages. And also for fans of Genesis, Wakeman and ELP. According to critics, Beyond Dreams-2000 is compared with Rush and IQ, Dream Theater's and Eloy, Genesis and Arena
