Talk:Bo Hansson

Picture needed
The picture seems to be of two other Swedish musicians, members of the duo "Sagor & Swing". I'm removing it from this article. Jolta (talk) 08:52, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

I may very well have been mistaken in writing the above. I'm reverting my change to the article. Jolta (talk) 13:55, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

The picture does not include Bo Hansson and should therefore be removed. The picture is from a concert that Bo Hansson played (in 2007, I believe) at jazzclub "Fasching" in Stockholm. However, he performed together with Eric Malmberg (organ) and Niklas Korssell (drums) which are the two people shown in the picture. Bo himself was sitting on the drummer's left side (i.e. right behind/slighly left of the photographer). --Fyutermeen (talk) 13:33, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

El 'Ahrairah
Was this how the recording was spelt? I'm asking because the actual character is El-ahrairah (hyphen and only one capital). Loganberry (Talk) 01:15, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Date of death
sv:Bo Hansson (musiker) shows his date of death as 26 April, and I don't see anything different on the URL referenced here for his death. I hardly understand Swedish, but I don't see "24 April" there. Rcarlberg, do you have any reference for the date of 24 April that you posted? BNutzer (talk) 02:05, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I added a source which says he was found dead during the afternoon of April 24. Diupwijk (talk) 11:59, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Somewhat overblown
is the statement: "Hansson and Karlsson,,, became immensely popular in their home country and Europe": Maybe you are addressing the jazz scene? Though I was very interested in pop music then, I NEVER EVER heard about "Hansson and Karlsson" here in Germany until the Tolkien album was released. I'm a big Bo Hansson fan; but I must say that you should brag a little less!

Another homage to Bo Hansson was that DJ Winfrid Trenkler who had a FM crossover music regular for progressive and "kraut rock" and electronic music at Western Germany's biggest radio and TV station, the WDR in Cologne, chose Hansson titles as session intros für his radio shows. They ran for years. (Link (in German): http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winfrid_Trenkler ) Wolfram —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.225.76.210 (talk) 13:15, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Dates of CD releases
It is not true that Lord of the Rings was not released on CD until 1996 (and you can hardly call Amazon a reliable source of data). To the best of my knowledge the first time the album appeared on CD was on Universe Productions CDSP 8915 in 1998, remixed and remastered by Anders Lind (cover art varies). [Listing on Discogs.com]. It was also accompanied by 6 trcks from Magician's Hat and 5 from Attic Thoughts, so it's not entirely true that none of Hansson's other work was available. 82.34.61.71 (talk) 12:43, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Hansson's date of birth
On the back cover of Endless Border (2011) his date of birth is shown as (b 1950). Is this a mistake? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.76.222.9 (talk) 23:56, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Polyphonic Synth
I may be confusing Hansson with someone else, but I swear I recall reading in the music press back in the early 1970s, that Hansson invented his own polyphonic synthesizer. This would have been an expensive undertaking, not only with the keyboard signal, but requiring about a dozen oscillators - very expensive gear at the time.

Could anyone confirm this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bpolhemus (talk • contribs) 22:28, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
