Tribute

About

Swedish progressive (symphonic rock, prog and fusion) music group, formed in Norrköping in 1982 by Gideon Andersson and Christer Rhedin. The group was influenced by Mike Oldfield, Tangerine Dream and Genesis, among others. It started with Andersson and Rhedin setting up a multimedia concert in Norrköping on the theme "A Tribute To The Music". They wrote all the songs themselves and started looking for more members. It became a large group with eleven members at times. The band toured extensively in Germany and Holland, among other places. In May 1987, a concert was held in Himmelstalundshallen together with the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra under the title Symfonikerna möter Tribute. After another own concert in the ice hall the following year, the group decided to take a break. The album Terra Incognita, which came out in 1990, was in practice a solo record with Gideon Andersson with the participation of his sisters Lena and Nina and a number of studio musicians.
