From: Jonas Engdegård Date: 7 Jan 1995 10:25:36 GMT I haven't seen the article in Keyboard (by the way I never read it) but I'm still very surprised. Anyway, here is the truth: As the situation is now, we have no plans for the future (no gigs, recordings, etc). That means we don't have to rehersal, we don't meet each other regulary. So it probably looks very calm from the outside. But we have NOT decided never to start a new project together. That is what we've been saying all the time when we were "over there" in November '94. We never used the word "disbanded". -Jonas (Änglagård)
===== To: ronc@cogs.susx.ac.uk (Ron Chrisley) Subject: Progfest in Goethenburg Date: Tue, 21 Mar 1995 20:48:41 +0100 From: Jonas Engdegaard Hi Ron, You wrote in an article (alt.music.progressive) about the swedish Prog Fest in April. As far as I know it is moved to the autumn or late summer. That is what Bjoern Johansson (the arranger) told me a few weeks ago. If you already knew, I'm sorry. ===== Date: Fri, 24 Mar 95 10:48:51 +0100 From: ron@ida.his.se (Ron Chrisley) To: Jonas Engdegaard Hi Jonas, Speaking of Aenglagaard, I've heard that Tord has been saying that the band doesn't exist anymore. Stefan said that Tord has been going to see other bands, marvelling at the fact that they can get everyone together to write, rehearse, record and tour! What do you think? Cheers, Ron ===== Date: Sat, 25 Mar 95 16:58:54 +0100 From: ron@ida.his.se (Ron Chrisley) To: Jonas Engdegaard Jonas> You asked about what's going to happen to Aenglagaard. I guess Jonas> that Tord has quite right in what he said. After progfest '94 Jonas> we decided to have a break for a while and perhaps start again Jonas> when we're "reloaded". Now it seems like the break will be Jonas> permanently. So, I guess Aenglagaard is history now.
Jonas> But if there's a history there's a future too. Last Wednesday Jonas> I, Thomas and Mattias (from Aenglagaard) had a rehearsal with Jonas> some new material and it seems to work fine. It's possible that Jonas> we (the new form) are going to make a show at the swedish Prog Jonas> Fest this autumn. So, that's it! ===== To: ron@ida.his.se (Ron Chrisley) Subject: Re: Progfest in Goethenburg From: Jonas Engdegaard Ron> Well, that's very good news. Do you want to say anything about why Ron> the others (especially Tord) are not included, or is that a sensitive Ron> subject and none of my business? I, Thomas and Mattias have been working together for several years before the Aenglagaard-period. We have had some bands and everytime we disbanded we formed a new one with the three of us as a base. So, this is probably what's happening again. We're just hoping this will work again. Ron> Have you decided on a new name? -No. Ron> How would you describe the sound? Do you approach composition in a Ron> way different from Aenglagaard? None of us knows, actually. "Epilog" was mainly composed by me and Thomas so perhaps we can't help sounding a little bit like Aenglagaard. But on the other hand we don't want to repeat something we've already done. I hope we'll sound different. Ron> I will post something soon to a.m.p about the Gothenburg prog fest Ron> being cancelled. May I say some things about Aenglagaard and your new Ron> band too, or should I keep these thing quiet? You can do as you want. But please notice that the band is a new project and we don't know what's going to happend to it. (That means, don't be surprised if we quit next week.) Take care, -Jonas

Anna (flute and tennis) - Studying at a music-school in Katrineholm. Tord (guitars and coffee-machine) - Studying at music-school in Stockholm. Thomas (keyboards) and Jonas (guitars) - Totally isolated, writing music. Mattias (drums and heavy coffee-drinker) - Playing with a commercial pop-band. Thomas, Mattias and I have started a progressive project. But the project isn't really defined yet and I don't know if we'll finish it. /Jonas
