Welcome were a Swiss rock trio active from the mid-to-late 1970s. Signed to the local branch of Columbia Records, the band released its homonymous debut LP in 1976.
Members: Tommy Stebel (percussion, acoustic guitar, vocals), Bernie Krauer (keyboards, vocals, 1975-80), Francis Jost (bass, vocals, 1975-77), Helmi Erdinger (bass, 1978-80), Jean De Anthony (guitar, 1979-81)
With the members tackling at least four instruments each, contrapuntal density is displayed across the album’s five tracks.
— a terse epic where brimming Mellotron passages segue to blocks of organ chords amidst persistent downbeats. Minutes later, open-cadence streams of mini-Moog give way to interlocking bars of bass and toms before the band join as one for a renewal of the song proper.
Patrick Moraz. Strebel also appeared on the self-titled third album by globally renown Swiss keyboardist
