Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Retrospect' compiles the recordings of Bel Canto, the Troms酶 band whose dream pop brought singer Anneli Drecker's voice to international attention with albums such as 'Shimmering, Warm & Bright'. Electronic textures and folk-tinged melodies place the group at the head of Norway's 1990s alternative scene.
