Enchant biography (http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=96)
At the time of writing, ENCHANT have spent more than 25 years in the progressive rock scene, with an 11-year hiatus in studio album discography between 2003 and 2014. It all started in 1989 when the band was known as MAE DAE and an initial line-up of Doug OTT (guitars), Ed PLATT (bass), Ted LEONARD (vocals), Mike "Benignus" GEIMER (keyboards) and Paul CRADDICK (drums, keyboards). Steve ROTHERY (MARILLION) participated in, and helped with the production of, their debut ''A Blueprint of the World'' in 1993 and they went on to release another four albums with the original line-up (Wounded, 1996, Time Lost, 1997 and Break, 1998, and Juggling 9 Or Dropping 10, 2000). During that time they would tour with DREAM THEATER, SPOCK'S BEARD and MARILLION. After ''Juggling 9 or Dropping 10'' both GEIMER and CRADDICK would leave the band.
''Blink of an Eye'' comes in 2002 with Sean FLANEGAN on drums and their next release, ''Tug of War'' will also see the addition of Bill JENKINS on keyboards, followed by the release of their first live album ''Live at Last'' in 2004. After a long hiatus, ENCHANT would return to discography with ''The Great Divide'' in 2014.
ENCHANT are renowned for their catchy melodies, driven by Ted LEONARD's excellent vocals. The build-up of their compositions brings to mind acts such as RUSH, DREAM THEATER and KANSAS among others, but in their long career they have clearly developed their own sound.
