Where can I get the albums?
The "Buried Alive"-CD can be obtained from various mailorders as well as directly from the label (Musea). "Hybris" and "Epilog" can be ordered directly from the band.

But I really want previous editions of the albums!
There might be vinyl copies of "Epilog" left at the label on which it was released (The Wild Places). From time to time, the studio old CDs are offered (and sold) on eBay for quite ridiculous prices, because it seems to be the only place where you can actually buy them. Sometimes, "Hybris"-LPs surface on eBay, too. Mellotronen in Stockholm is supposed to have a copy for sale. Sometimes prices reach three digit dollar sums.

What about other releases?
Back issues of Ptolemaic Terrascope with the E.P. containting "Gånglåt från Knapptibble" might still be available as a collector's item in certain British record shops. The track was recently released on the After The Storm compilation, which is not only easier, but also cheaper to get.

How many copies were made of each edition?
I don't know. Less than a million, more than ten is a safe bet. Someone noted on eBay that the initial pressing of "Hybris"-LP consisted of only 250 copies. But again, I don't know.

Is this an official site?
Not really, it is a (non-profit) fanpage. But I get news directly from the band from time to time, and they were so kind to print the URL in the inlays of the re-issued albums. So you might call it semi-official, I guess. In March 2009, the official homepage www.anglagardmusic.com went online. Right now, it seems to complement anglagard.net (and the other way round), so my guess is that both sites will coexist from now on.

How can I contact the band?
First of all, please note that all mail concerning this homepage should be send to me (Jutze), since the band members have nothing to do with it.
Exergy Music have re-released the studio albums back in 2003. Please send them all mail concerning album orders, distribution, promotion, and business in general. I'm aware that it's rather difficult to elicit a response from the band and the label. So if you have a reasonable proposal, question, or just a lot of money you want to burn, you can get in touch with me. I'll handle the matter confidentially and might be a bit more successful in delivering it to the band. (No promises, though.) However, I still do not provide any promotion material myself.
If you have any question about the band and its music that's not listed here or answered somewhere else on this page, feel free to ask me. I'll see what I can do.

You mentioned labels, mailorders and guestbooks. Where can I find them?
Just browse through this site with open eyes. The guestbook can be found on the navigation bar at the left side. Due to spam trouble I've shut it down. The old entries are still there, so everybody can relive old memories. A link to the links-section is also on the navigation bar. The links-section is called links-section because it contains links to all kinds of other homepages, including the ones of Alvarsdotter, Exergy Music and Musea Records.

Who are you, anyway?
My name is Johannes Schult, but people usually call me Jutze. I was born in 1979, became a fan of Änglagård in 1996, and created this homepage in 2002. You can visit my personal homepage at http://www.jutze.com. Click here for a picture of myself with Anna Holmgren and Johan Brand.

Can you sell/copy me some Änglagård-stuff?
No, I do not sell anything and I will not copy the original material.

Will there be a new (studio) album?
At the moment, no plans for a new album exist.

I want to see Änglagård live. What can I do?
At the moment, no concerts are planned. So there is very little you can do. If you want to organize a concert with Änglagård, try contacting them via Exergy Music. Before you do so, please read the following paragraph and always remember that Änglagård "are a very messy band to deal with as we all have our own schedules in the band that needs to be linked and sorted out..." (Mattias Olsson)

No album, no tour, no band?
Drummer Mattias Olsson remarked in January, 2007: "Deaf, dumb and blind band Änglagård has crawled into the darkest and deepest of Swedish caves." In other words: the band members are currently taking a break from Änglagård, focusing on their regular jobs and families. However, the band didn't split up like back in 1994, when there were huge personal conflicts. So there is a slim chance that they will play some more concerts in the future and maybe also record some new material.

What is a Mellotron?
Good question! Very good question! It's a musical instrument. Resembling a keyboard it has black keys as well as white keys. It has a very moody sound and no technical service at all. (And if it were a car you would have to shift gears at least every 7 seconds. Else the engine would just stop.) To be honest, I'm not very keen on Mellotrons, but Mattias Olsson is. And there is a whole section on http://www.roth-handle.nu dedicated to his collection of instruments, where you can find a detailed Mellotron-section.

How did the band form?
Tord and Johan met (somehow). Later they began searching for other musicians to play progressive rock music! They found Jonas and Thomas (or the other way round). Later on they persuaded their old/young friend Mattias to sit on the drum stool. Enter Anna (Johan knew her from work) et voilą: Änglagård! Check out the interviews from 1993 for details.

Which members are in the band now?
Mattias, Thomas, Johan, Anna, Jonas.

Why isn't Tord in the band anymore?
He demanded too much money!? Seriously, he felt that he couldn't commit to the band again.

What is "Rösten" on Epilog
? "We got that sound from a sound engineer that did some work for us. I can't remember his name though..." (Jonas E. in this interview)

Who came up with the bandname? What does it mean?
"I think it was Tord. His story was that his grandmother as a young girl had a box with paperdoll pictures of Angels and she called the box Änglagård. A farm of Angels." (Mattias O. in this interview)

Is it true that Thomas and Jonas are twins who were separated at birth?
No, it's not true.

Where is Knapptibble?
Hooray for Tobias, who writes "I think I know that Knapptibble is small place in the countryside near Enköping, Sweden, where Pär Lindh, of Pär Lindh Project, used to have his studio." I assume, he's right. After all, the song "Gånglåt från Knapptibble" was recorded at that place.
