BLUE MOTION

Blue Motion biography
Blue Motion is an offshoot from Swiss band Circus, known from their acclaimed album Movin'On (1977). Coming from Basle (NW Switzerland on the language border between the Alemanics and the Romands), this unusual quartet of musicians has a strange line-up: Fritz Hauser is one of the better percussionists (still playing but in jazz bands nowadays) and bassist Marco Cerletti (the only non-Alemanic in the band) is certainly excellent, he also plays acoustic guitar. The other two, Roland Fri and Andreas Grieder, share the wind instruments with the vocals. Between 1976 and 1980 Circus made four studio albums.
In 1980 the band split up, then Fritz Hauser and Stephan Grieder formed Blue Motion with Stephan Ammann (keyboards). Blue Motion made one eponymous album in 1980, this was re-released on CD by The Laser's Edge in 1992. The music is keyboard-oriented (great synthesizer-piano interplay) and sounds as a wonderful, a bit subdued progressive blend of jazz, electronic and classic.
