Echo was originally started by the Chrysalis Group in 1994 when the original Chrysalis Records was sold to EMI. The label enjoyed some initial success with British rock band Feeder, who had a succession of hit singles over a 10 year period, including Top 10 entries with ‘Buck Rogers’ in 2001 and ‘Tumble & Fall’ in 2005. The label also enjoyed commercial hits with Babybird (‘You’re Gorgeous’) and Moloko, whose ‘Sing It Now’ and ‘The Time Is Now’ were massive dance anthems throughout the world . They also enjoyed critical acclaim (if not significant sales) with Julian Cope, Subcircus, The Utah Saints and I Am Kloot. However, in 2005, a decision was made to reconstruct the label as an ‘incubator’ operation with the intention of developing writer-artists (usually published by its sister operation) and ‘upstreaming’ to a major label. Some success was achieved with Bat For Lashes and American singer-songwriter Ray Lamontagne. The Echo imprint now exclusively sits as a catalogue operation within BMG, which also administers much of the publishing through the Chrysalis catalogue. Includes: Feeder, Julian Cope, Moloko, Baby Bird, Denim, Engineers, Morcheeba, Nerina Pallot, Steven Lindsay, Utah Saints, Mono, Orang, The Stands & I Am Kloot
