Tangle Edge - an introduction

 

Tangle Edge are a nucleus of Ronald Nygard (various guitars, synth and percussives) and Hasse Horrigmoe (bass, acoustic guitar, synths and percussives), who first got together way back in 1978. It wasn't until 1980 however, that they got together a proper band: Sentralvaskeriet together with another guitarist and a drummer. These where principally a blues band, and eventually without the second guitarist moved to more experimental realms becoming Tangle Edge. Ronald and Hasse had always wanted to produce real progressive rock, so they began to experiment with rock structures, practice techniques and develop their own sound. The influences Tangle Edge quote on their press-sheet help clarify their sound very well... Amon DuuI II, Can, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Faust, King Crimson, Van Der Graf Generator, Jan Garbarek, Jethro Tull, and adding to that what I can hear in their music... Hawkwind, Popol Vuh, AIain Markusfeld, Camel, Shylock, Chillum, Yes. Tangle Edge comprise all that's great in rock music, their adaptation and personalisation of all these influences makes for a very rich and involved sound.
