The Band was founded together with Geir Jenssen. He left after the second album in 1990 and pursued a solo career in ambient music as Biosphere.
During the years from 1985 to present (2006) Bel Canto have been taking breaks as Anneli Drecker has pursued a solo career and done concerts with other bands and artists (including touring with A-Ha), as well as playing in films and theatre plays. Nils Johansen, on the other hand, has composed music for film and television as well as working and performing with his other band, Vajas.
21 Years after the band was founded they are still active. In the fall of 2006 they continued to do concerts, primarily in Norway.
In 2007 Bel Canto will continue to work together, both by writing new material and by doing more gigs. At the same time both Anneli Drecker and Nils Johansen will also work on other projects. Latest update by 2022 is that Bel Canto are currently working on their next album.

Bel Canto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before it did, I was fine, I was OK
It took some time but when it did cross my mind,
I thought my head was about to detonate.
Images of baby turtles in a commotion
Cracking their eggs and shuffling around in the sand.
Trying desperately to find their way to the ocean
In time before the big birds catch them.
It took some time before it entered my mind, before,
I kind of was blind, I didn't see.
It took some time but when it did cross my mind,
It felt like something inside me was set free.
Images of levitating frogs in motion high up above in enormous magnetic fields.
Images of fishes hopping up from the ocean.
Images of ?
In time, in time, in time,
It will most surely be time.
Images of psychedelic rats in a fountain
Which I just passed about two hours ago.
Some of them with different luminous star maps on,
One was transparent and indigo.
Images of army snails down under the ocean,
Fighting their way by eating up monster grass.
Wonder if they do or do not take any notion?
Images of ?
In time, in time, in time,
in time, in time, in time, in time,
In time, in time, in time,
in time, in time, it will surely be time.
The lyrics of Bel Canto's "Images" portray an ever-evolving series of surreal and vivid imagery that the singer experiences. The singer seems to be reflecting on the gradual realization of the images that have been forming in their mind. At first, they were not aware of these images, and as they became aware of them, the images began to take over and become more intense, even overwhelming. The singer then describes a series of images, including baby turtles struggling to make their way to the ocean, levitating frogs in magnetic fields, and psychedelic rats in a fountain. These images seem to symbolize the beauty of nature, the power of imagination, and the wonder of the unknown.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of time passing by, and the singer seems to be aware that everything is fleeting. However, the images that they have encountered will always be with them. The line "In time, in time, in time, it will most surely be time" suggests that there is a sense of inevitability to the passage of time, and that everything comes to pass eventually.
The lyrics of "Images" are rich in symbolism and imagery and can be interpreted in many different ways. However, at its core, the song seems to be a celebration of the power of imagination and the beauty of the world around us.

It took some time before it entered my mind,
Before I realized something important, I was feeling okay.
Before it did, I was fine, I was OK
I didn't know what was bothering me, so I was content.
It took some time but when it did cross my mind,
Eventually I figured out what was going on and it hit me hard.
I thought my head was about to detonate.
I was overwhelmed and stressed out by this realization.
Images of baby turtles in a commotion
I am reminded of the innocent creatures struggling to survive.
Cracking their eggs and shuffling around in the sand.
The babies are born into a dangerous world and must move quickly.
Trying desperately to find their way to the ocean
They urgently seek safety and a new life.
In time before the big birds catch them.
They must escape predators that are waiting to make them their prey.
Images of levitating frogs in motion high up above in enormous magnetic fields.
I imagine fantastical creatures in another world that seems impossible.
Images of fishes hopping up from the ocean.
I am reminded of the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
Images of ?
There are other images that come to mind, but they are not described.
In time, in time, in time,
Even if things are not clear now, eventually there will be understanding.
It will most surely be time.
Time will reveal what is hidden or unclear.
Images of psychedelic rats in a fountain
Another strange and imaginary image comes to mind.
Which I just passed about two hours ago.
This image is tied to a recent experience I had.
Some of them with different luminous star maps on,
Even in the imaginary world, there are differentiations and uniqueness.
One was transparent and indigo.
In this world, colors and characteristics can interact in novel ways.
Images of army snails down under the ocean,
Another surreal image emerges.
Fighting their way by eating up monster grass.
Even the smallest creatures can overcome obstacles with cleverness.
Wonder if they do or do not take any notion?
I am curious if they are aware of the challenges they face.
Images of ?
Again, there are other images that come to mind, but they are not described.
In time, in time, in time,
Reiterating that understanding and clarity may come with time.
in time, in time, in time, in time, in time, in time, in time,
Further emphasizing that patience is needed when waiting for answers.
In time, in time, in time,
Concluding that everything will eventually become clear.
in time, in time, it will surely be time.
A final reminder that all will be revealed with patience and the passage of time.

Wasn't there an official video on MTV back then, actually showing the images of the turtles and the ocean? I can't find it anywhere, was it my imagination??
