Bel Canto / Dolly De Luxe

[Norvald.Stol@delab.sintef.no]

Hey!
Guess I should comment on the info on these bands lately.

Bel Canto has released a new CD/LP not long ago called
"Shimmering, Warm & Bright". In my opinion their best yet, but some
critics calls it a "sell-out", as they always do when thing gets too
accessible to the public and not strictly for the "experts".

They WAS a trio on their two last CDs, but are NOW a duo. They have moved 
back to Tromsoe, and changed record label. (Complaining that their Belgian
"alternative" label gave them a lot LESS freedom than their new one, which
is large and commericial (down remenber which)).

Dolly De Luxe is also norwegian (NOT swedish as someone said); they are 
from a place called Baerum, just outside Oslo. They don't use the name
Dolly De Luxe anymore. They picked this name as young teenagers while 
performing pop music. Nowadays they prefer their real names:
Benedikte Adrian and Ingrid Bjoernov. (The 'oe' substitutes a norwegian letter).
"Which Witch" has been released on CD/LP at least twice, and is still
developing. If everything goes according to plans the rock opera will be
performed in London soon (autumn 92 - 1993 ?). It has already been performed
all over Norway. The well known british writer Fay Weldon is helping them
out with some of the lyrics.

Bye for now,
Norvald, Trondheim, Norway.
