Signed originally to Belgian label Crammed, their style has evolved over time from a gothic ethereal sound to synth-based pop influenced by world music.
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
There's an old, old giant
Sneaking around inside this house
Help move the cupboard
Make a huge barricade
So he won't enter
Draw some life from the sun and the day
We heard a noise, and it took shape
I mean cold, cold blood
Running right through deep inside our veins
What is he gonna tell us?
Shimmering, warm and bright
Shimmering warm on the opposite side
Isn't he gonna tempt us?
Shimmering, warm and bright
We need a helping hand
We have lost our touch
If his shadow appears
We're going to fall apart
I mean we got addicted long time ago
But that spooky, old giant won't withdraw
Give me a sign, oh good omen
Give me a sign, oh good omen
What if he does resent us?
Shimmering, warm and bright
Shimmering warm on the opposite side
Isn't he gonna tempt us?
Shimmering, warm and bright
Sneaking around inside this house
Help move the cupboard
Make a huge barricade
So he won't enter
Draw some life from the sun and the day
We heard a noise, and it took shape
I mean cold, cold blood
Running right through deep inside our veins
What is he gonna tell us?
Shimmering warm on the opposite side
Isn't he gonna tempt us?
Shimmering, warm and bright
We need a helping hand
We have lost our touch
If his shadow appears
We're going to fall apart
I mean we got addicted long time ago
But that spooky, old giant won't withdraw
Give me a sign, oh good omen
Give me a sign, oh good omen
What if he does resent us?
Shimmering, warm and bright
Shimmering warm on the opposite side
Isn't he gonna tempt us?
Shimmering, warm and bright

just makes me want to go to some sort of underground scene, wear some sort of bellydancing outfit, and dance through some sort of foggy atmosphere

Bought the album when it came out in '92. I have a digital copy on every device I own and I listen to it almost every night when I go to bed. It is such beautiful music and her voice is magnificent . In Italian Bel Canto means "beautiful singing". Bel Canto is the perfect name for the band!
