█▓█ The Norwegian band Fra Lippo Lippi swam in the depths of despair
█▓█ before diving into pop and jazz. Per Oystein Sorensen (vocals,
█▓█ synthesizer, keyboards), Rune Kristoffersen (guitar, bass, keyboards,
█▓█ piano), and Morten Sjoberg (drums, keyboards) formed Fra Lippo Lippi
█▓█ in 1978. Fra Lippo Lippi enveloped their first album, In Silence, with
█▓█ ominous bass lines, death-march percussion, pensive keyboards, and
█▓█ sinister, indecipherable vocals. However, by 1983's Small Mercies,
█▓█ Sorensen's pop background helped the group to become increasingly
█▓█ melodic. In 1985, Fra Lippo Lippi signed with Virgin Records in the
█▓█ U.K., releasing their third album, Songs. Fra Lippo Lippi jettisoned
█▓█ the gloom of their earlier efforts on Songs, experimenting with
█▓█ synth-pop and romantic balladry powered by Kristoffersen's piano. The
█▓█ transformation enabled the group to achieve minor chart success in
█▓█ England and Canada, but in the Philippines many of their singles
█▓█ became staples on the country's new wave radio stations. Tracks such
█▓█ as "The Distance Between Us" and "Come Summer" topped request lines.
█▓█ When the jazz-inflected Light and Shade was released in 1987, Fra
█▓█ Lippo Lippi had become superstars in the Philippines, much to the
█▓█ band's surprise. Largely unknown throughout most of the world, Fra
█▓█ Lippo Lippi performed to sold-out audiences of thousands in Manila,
█▓█ Philippines, in 1989. Fra Lippo Lippi released two more albums, 1989's
█▓█ The Colour Album and 1991's Dreams, before the lack of commercial
█▓█ success forced the group into indefinite hiatus. Since Fra Lippo
█▓█ Lippi's departure from the recording studio, Kristoffersen released
█▓█ two instrumental albums, Elephant Song and Monolight, and started his
█▓█ own label, Rune Grammofon. Sorensen has worked with fellow Norwegian
█▓█ artist Trine Rein.
