BEL CANTO

On December 6, the Belgian record company Alfa Matrix released a compilation with 32 female fronted electronica bands titled Venusa XX. And "Ladonia" from Bel Canto's "Dorothy's Victory" is featured on the double CD.

The compilation does also feature tracks by artists like Hungry Lucy, Magenta, Lunascape and Theatre Of Tragedy. 75% of the songs are either exclusive or previously unreleased tracks.

 

RÖYKSOPP & ANNELI

Röyksopp and Anneli appeared on the Italian compilation Colors Nordic (released on CD and 2xLP), released by Benneton's magazine Colors earlier this fall. The album is a collection of electronic music from the five Nordic countries. Röyksopp and Anneli contributes with the downtempo track "Sparks" adapted from Röyksopp's aclaimed album Melody A.M.

The song have earlier been featured on a Hed Kandi compilation and also used in the american TV-Series Six Feet Under. Röyksopp have never been hotter, and just a couple of weeks ago they recieved a MTV Video Award for their "Poor Leno" music video. Anneli will perform with Röyksopp on four shows in the UK this month. See the live section for details. Listen to Colors Nordic here

 

KETIL BJØRNSTAD & ANNELI

Ketil Bjørnstad invited Anneli to sing on his piece Grace on the opening of Vossajazz festival in 2000. The performance was recorded and later released. The piece was also performed live several times in Norway but also in Germany, Russia and Canada.

Ketil Bjørnstad asked Anneli to join his new project, and they have just finished recording it in legendary Rainbow Studio in Oslo, Norway. The result will be available on CD sometime next year. More info to come.

 

A-HA & ANNELI

It's now confirmed that a-ha's Lifelines tour have resulted in a live album. The album is already mixed but the date of release is still yet to be announced. Anneli will of course be heard as their backing singer and Morten's duet partner, but will also proove Anneli as a brilliant tambourin player!

A-ha's manager Brian Lane have also confirmed to NRK.no/Musikk that a-ha is working on a new album which probably will be released in the spring next year. But all the details is of course still a secret, and if Anneli is going to contribute on this album as well is unsure. Read more at Nrk.no/Musikk.

Some weeks ago a-ha released their third single from Lifelines, "Did Anyone Aproach You?" Eventhough Anneli does not sing on it - she does appear in the video! The maxi-version of the single contains both remixes and the colorful and dynamic video directed by Lauren Waaktaar-Savoy. The video was shot during a hectic day at Ullevåll Stadion where a-ha opened their Lifelines Tour in June.
