Ruphus

Ruphus was a Norwegian progressive rock band active from 1970 to 1981. The first release was the band's debut album "New Born Day" in 1973, which was later followed by "Ranshart", "Let Your Light Shine", "Inner Voice", "Flying Colours" and "Manmade". "New Born Day" is widely regarded as one of the best albums to have emerged from the Norwegian Prog scene. The lineup on the album featured seven members, of whom only Kjell Larsen (guitar) and Asle Nilsen (bass, flute) would go on to play on all of Ruphus albums.
