Alter Echo biography The roots of the band are in two military buddies, Hans Hagström and Ingemar Hill. During their service they began to explore the music of their heroes The Beatles, Jethro Tull, Yes, and Genesis. Soon they began writing their own music, and decided to form a band in 1975. Bass player Heinrik Nordgren would be one of the first to join, and also came up with the band's name. Several personnel changes would take place over the next few years, including the departure of founder Ingemar Hill. In 1978 the final lineup was in place with Lars Guldbrand on keyboards, Pele Alsing on percussion, and Micke Wedberg on vocals. Their self-titled debut would be their only album. It was given a second life in1997 when it was re-released by Musea. They have been described as having a neo sound (sometimes poppy) with a heavy Gentle Giant influence. But it doesn't end there. Some of the songs resemble elements of Genesis, Yes, Happy the Man, and even Spock's Beard. Micke Wedberg has been described as the Swedish version of Graham Nash. Quite a mixed bag, indeed, despite this, their essense is mainly Symphonic. H.T. Riekels (bhikkhu) Progarchives.com
