Ensemble Nimbus is instrumental progressive rock with a strong dose of complexity and risk, with rapid and frantic rhythm changes. Rather inspired by the RIO scene but in spite of this, the music present a strong melodic component and are quite more affordable than those of the darkest bands in the RIO like Univers Zero, Art Zoyd, Present and others.
E.Nimbus Combines the physical punch of the earlier bands with the"postmodern" conceptual/contextual ideas of more recent musicians such as Biota, the Mnemonists, and various projects with Guigo Chenevier.
The group was formed in late 1992 by HÃ¥kan Almkvist and Hasse Bruniusson, and appeared on one compilation CD released 1993 in USA on FOT RECORDS called "PASSED NORMAL" together with artists like Pere Ubu, Daevid Allen, Henry Kaiser, Arthur Brown, Peter Blegvad, Ron Geesin, Amy Denio.
There are three CD's released so far: "KEY FIGURES"- 1994, "SCAPEGOAT" - 1998 & "GARMONBOZIA" - 2000.
Recordings of a fourth CD is currently under construction and is estimated to be released in late autumn 2008 !
Hopefully a reissue of the long out of print CD "Key Figures" and a DVD "Live at Lilla Teatern" will be released thereafter.
