Crossbreeze - Crossbreeze 1974 (Norway, Progressive Rock)The only longplay trio from the Norwegian city of Bodo. Sing in English.Progrock Trio from Bodø, originally started as a purely studio project consisting of Walter Albrigtsen (guitar, vocal, 1951), Terje Nilsen (bass, vocal, guitar, 1951) and Finn Sletten (percussion, drums, guitar, vocals, f . 1952). Crossbreeze recorded his only album in the Experience studio in August 1974.With them in the studio they had Kjell Karlsen who played moog and piano on two songs. Nils J. Øybakken produced the album in collaboration with the band itself. Nilsen had been in the studio for Øybakkens Experience Records in 1973 and recorded a solosel. Since it went faster than planned, Albrigtsen, who was studio musician at Nilsen's debutsingel, simultaneously recorded two songs he had made.It ended that both Albrigtsen and Nilsen were given their debuts, but there were no sales successes. Øybakken, however, saw the potential of the two and invited them to make an LP together. They brought the Sletten and started the Trio Crossbreeze, whose sole purpose was to record an LP with its own compositions.After the album was released in January '75, they had a concert at the Bodø Youth Center the following month and were then immediately dissolved. They had a reunion concert at Sinus in Bodø in the Romans in 1986, but since then they have not played together, despite trying to get them collected again on several occasions.Musically they were inspired by the prologue of the day with psychedelic elements. The album has been highly sought after by collectors, as confirmed by the fact that a copy went on eBay online auction in May 2007 for US $ 985, - (about 5000, - NOK).Both Albrigtsen and Nilsen released solo albums on Experience Records. Both before and after Crossbreeze, Albrigtsen was in several bands, including FWBJ, Tin Matress and Vanqueros. Nilsen has had a long solo career, and has been a studio musician and guest artist on a number of recordings. The plain has participated in several bands in jazz and has been a studio musician.Tracks:01. Made Man - 0:0002. There Once Was - 4:2403. Lovely Lady - 7:0304. Now The Time Has Come - 10:3505.
