Artist History first formed in the early 90's, the band evolved from recording live onto a cheap 4 track tape recorder with one keyboard and drum machine to the current setup which features a large modular synthesizer and pro tools for recording. throughout the years, the group has toyed with many different musical styles, and continue to do so. in 1999, the band's first full length CD was released. titled "the essence of norway", and released on tooth and nail records in the U.S., it had a definite europop/dance feel. lately, the style has progressed into it's own blend of different styles of electronic music, with aspects of dance and electro as the main focus. as the band's music has evolved, different lyricsal approaches have been made, and will continue to be made as time goes on.
