   About Brighteye Brison

Review for Believers & Deceivers:
"Finally, the new and third outing from brilliant Brighteye Brison, still using vintage, analogue instruments! And to good effect I might add !! Ive listened to this fabulous album, several times now and it grows on me at every spin! Not only do they use vintage instruments, they deliver extremely perfect vintage music by the mega-load!! With excellent multi layered vocals, well composed songs,blending and delivering music from inspirational sources such as: Gentle Giant, Hackett, Van Der Graaf G, Genesis and little hints to Gryphon, to name a few! The superlative “Hat-trick”comes to mind, as I find these incredible musicians, so excellent on this their third album!! I loved their former album (read review elsewhere) but this one really tops that experience, it might be one of the greatest progalbums of this year,so far!? First of all, this album will serve you better played loud!!!" 6/6 - Progplanet

Words about "Stories":
“This is a superior release… They'll become one of the biggest prog bands around.” –Dave Winstanley, Classic Rock Society

“One of the most sparklingly original- sounding records that their genre has seen all century.” –Dave Thompson, Goldmine

”What you have here is an excellent album, with many hours of listening pleasure, just waiting for you. You have to purchase this cd!!” 5/5 –Tony Larsen, Prog Planet

”An absolute must for each fan of ‘true progressive rock’” 9/10 –Claude, ProgNose

“An impressive release and a must-have in your collection.” –AUDION, Peter Beaman

This progressive rock output came together in 2000 under the guiding wings of Writer/Keyboardist/Saxophonist/Vocalist Linus Kase. First to join the band was Kristofer Eng on bass who at the time was attending the Royal College of Music in Stockholm together with Linus. Also aboard the ship was Linus elder brother Daniel Kase, from the Stockholm Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, on drums. Johan Oijen finalized the lineup on guitar about half a year later.
The band unconditionally put their 70..s oriented progressive rock music to work and started doing live shows and recorded their first full-length album, Brighteye Brison, between 2001-2002 and it was released on Rivel Records in 2003. The album was mixed and mastered by studio wizard and sound engineer Per Hallman who in fact joined the band as a full time member on the day of the release party for Brighteye Brison, first as the live sound engineer but in time also as the second keyboard player and singer.
Sessions for the second album, Stories, started in 2003 and lasted for almost three years(!) before its release on March 31st 2006. BB parted ways with Rivel Records, after recording a track called Mother Earth for the Sweet tribute album The Sweet According To Sweden in 2004, and signed with Progress Records hoping to get more attention within the progressive rock field.
For sure "Stories" continued on the path of delivering epic arrangements and swirling harmonies, again using analog instruments exclusively, and it was released to great critical acclaim. "They..ll become one of the biggest prog bands around", hailed Classic Rock Society. "This album are full of fantastic arranged and superbly delivered songs" said Prog Planet.
After shooting the video for the track We wanna Return in the summer of 2006, Daniel decided to leave the band. The band ultimately decided to move on and record yet again. Amazing drummer Erik Hammarstroem, an old aquaintance to Linus and Kristofer from The College of Music, filled the vacancy and the new album will be released early 2008 as well as an original track for the album Inferno by the Finnish Progressive Rock Association Colossus.

Thanks for the add from the UK's smallest psych/prog record label, Fruits de Mer Records.

Hope you and your friends enjoy our first single - Small Faces' classic Ogden's Nut Gone Flake + Van der Graaf Generator's Theme One, both reinterpreted by Schizo Fun Addict. Playing now at www. myspace. com/fdmer & www. myspace. com/fdmer2 (we're not sure why either, but feel free to compare & contrast!).

Views, reviews, spreading the word, even the odd order for our 7" coloured vinyl first-ever release (we've only pressed up 300 copies!)
