In 1998, Echo Image recorded the Walkout EP, which was sold locally through a punk/prog label called Kvarts Musikk. Their musical style didn't really suit Kvarts, so in 2000 they signed to US synthpop label A Different Drum. Around this time Lars Kristian Holt joined as live guitarist.
The 2000 single Need To Be Proud was mixed by Apoptygma Berzerk frontman Stephan Groth, who introduced them to the Norwegian label Hard:Drive. After releasing Compuphonic simultaneously on ADD and the now defunct Bloodline in Europe, they signed with Hard:Drive and released the Endless Day EP. Echo Image accompanied Apoptygma Berzerk on the Harmonizer tour in 2002.
The members of the band are currently Pal Magnus Rybom, Trine Bilet, and Lars Kristian Holt; Fredrik Hansen left the band in 2004, but is in contact with the band in regards to joining again.
In July 2010, a new demo song, "Things I know" was released to Youtube, along with a new interview of PĂ„l Magnus Rybom who mentioned that he is working on a new Echo Image album.
On 1 October 2010, Echo Image played a live concert at ElektroStat.

Echo Image Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what I can do
You are so hard to find
You are always on my mind
I look at you and see a light shining so bright
You sparkle like the sea at night
Understand, understand
When I see you see you in the sun
My heart is going for a run
I want to take you to the sea
So it can be just you and me
I look at you and see a light shining so bright
You sparkle like the sea at night
Understand, understand
Understand, understand
Understand
I look at you and see a light shining so bright
You sparkle like the sea at night
Understand, understand
Understand, understand
The lyrics of Echo Image's song Understand convey a sense of awe and admiration for someone the singer loves or admires deeply. They begin by expressing how they feel helpless in the face of this person's beauty and mystery, saying, "Sometimes when I look at you/I don't know what I can do/You are so hard to find/You are always on my mind." Despite the uncertainty and confusion, the singer is clearly drawn to this person and finds them captivating, comparing them to a brilliant light and sparkling sea.
As the song progresses, the singer's desire to be near this person grows stronger, saying "When I see you in the sun/My heart is going for a run/I want to take you to the sea/So it can be just you and me." The imagery of the sun and the sea reinforces the sense of wonder and beauty surrounding this person, and the singer's use of the personal pronoun "you" emphasizes how central this person is to their thoughts and emotions.
Ultimately, the repeated refrain of "Understand, understand" seems to suggest a plea for some kind of reciprocity or understanding from the person being addressed. Whether this is an expression of romantic love, deep friendship, or simply profound admiration is left somewhat ambiguous, but the sense of intensity and longing in the lyrics is unmistakable.
