Eclectic, experimental, unusual, funky, John Kaada from Norway.
 
     
 
EDIT - I know who this reminds me of, Fat Boy Slim and the more drum'n'bass Jaga Jazzist albums.

Iceland's Mugison. Eclectic, sounds like improvisation, mellow, er having a difficult time describing this sound.

It's hard to pin down Mugison I agree.
'Mugiboogie' f.ex. is everything from southern blues and 60s pop to straight up metal and power ballads.
Kaada and Mugison in my ears have a lot in common. They both produce very varied music, never holding on to one style for much longer than an album, but still possess a personal character that can't help but shine through.
And they're both signed to Pattons Ipecac Recordings, of course.

This one is even harder to pin down and I love that...

I don't think Pekka Pohjola got mentioned here? Great Mike Oldfield-ish prog rock/jazz fusion from Finland. Also check Wigwam.

There is a good choice of Pekka Pohjola on Spotify, but Wigwam are not available outside of Finland....

The latest Dungen album (apologies for apparently swearing in Swedish!) called 'Skit I Allt'. Very melodic and sweet.

The Divine Baze Orchestra, from Sweden and the album 'Dead but Dreaming' . Released last year but with a 1970s sound of Deep Purple meets Genesis. Excellent.

Quirky Beardfish and their latest album 'Destination Solitaire'. An English 1970s folk, anthemic prog sound.

The finest in traditional Swedish prog rock (inspired by Yes)

Sweden's Ritual (there are many bands with this name). Prog rock with emphasis on the rock.
