This text is printed inside coversleeve: "To be enjoyed by aficionados as well as the uninitiated, Norwegian band Bel Canto delivers their DALI debut, Shimmering, Warm & Bright, an exquisitely refined hybrid mixture of arctic passion, esoteric instrumentations and conventional song structures.

Anneli Drecker offers a crystalline vocal performance along with her keyboard expertise and Nils Johansen complements on violin, flute, bass, guitars, mandolin, electronics and computers.

Bel canto's atmospheric brand of world music has won them the distinction of being named the official musical ensemble for the 1994 Winter Olympics in Oslo"

(The Olympics was actually held at Lillehammer in 1994, not in Oslo)

Pressrelease: "Release date: 18/3/96. Bel Canto are a band who are already huge in their home country Norway, but this is their debut single in the UK market, which has been taken from the forthcoming LP 'Magic Box'.

It's the kind of track that you want to play purely because it's so good. The mixes have been done by Ben Chapman and the Masters at Work, Ben provides the funky mixes, while the Masters At Work have taken things into more housey vein.

Already making appearances in the buzz charts due to the U.S. copies, and as heard on Pete Tong.

It's laid back, it's funky and it's good! A major priority."
