Enchant is an American neo-progressive rock band, formed in 1989. Their music is characterized by ambitious lyrics and melodies along with harmonic experimentation.

History

This section requires expansion.

Enchant's origins reach back to the end of the 1980s but the actual launch only comes when Steve Rothery became aware of this new band; he helped produce A Blueprint of the World in England in 1993, and he also joined in as a guest musician. The rights for this debut album had previously secured a small German label. In the same year the first tour on Europe followed. Wounded (1996) helped them to allure many new fans. Time Lost (1997) was released for a tour with Dream Theater. It had four new tracks and previously unreleased material. Break (1998) was promoted live on stage with Spock's Beard and later with Marillion. Juggling 9 Or Dropping 10, Blink of an Eye and Tug of War reinforced their status as a serious band.^{[citation needed]} These albums also have opened the band's road for touring in Germany together with Spock's Beard and the California Guitar Trio. Their live album, Live At Last was released as a double CD and a double DVD set also.
