It's not very normal for a band to wait seven years before releasing their first album, but WE GO is not an entirely normal band. They consist of four modern dancers and four musicians and they create a mix between concerts and dance performances. Since 2004 the full ensemble of WE GO has created four large concert performances and a repertoire of several hours of music. The album is both a debut and at the same time a compilation of selected tunes from the last seven years.
Footsteps in the music
The album was recorded in Brussels, March 2010 and the recordings didn't exactly follow the path of an ordinary recording session. In some tunes the dance is so distinctly a part of the score that the choreographer had to direct the musicians in the studio with her movements and in the song 'Overrelease' you really hear her footsteps.
There have been a couple of replacements of musicians and dancers over the years, but both the former members American bassist Andrew Bergmann and Danish drummer Anders Provis feature on the album along with WE GO's current members.
