Bel Canto
By All Music Guide
The atmospheric, melancholy, somewhat medieval soundscapes of Bel Canto (Italian for beautiful song) mix an essentially synth-based, chamber-rock sound with a wide range of orchestral and folk instruments and have been compared to the Cocteau Twins. The group hails from Norway and consists of ethereal vocalist Anneli Marian Drecker, plus Nils Johansen and Geir Jenssen. The group claims to draw its inspiration from powerful energy fields, including those of the female and the earths gravitational pull; additionally, their compositions sometimes draw on world music and the ambient experiments of Brian Eno. Bel Canto released its first album, White-Out Conditions, in 1987. After 1989s Birds of Passage, they recorded 1992s Shimmering, Warm and Bright and 1996s Magic Box.
