Mystery (Be)

Mystery (Be) was a Belgian band led by vocalist and songwriter Pascal Languillon, with guitarist Thierry Plas and drummer Dan Lacksman. Their 1994 single 'Forever' became a breakthrough, a ballad that found an audience beyond their home country. They released several albums through the 1990s and 2000s, including 'Blood on the Moon' in 1996 and 'The Invisible World' in 2007.

Their music often carried an atmospheric, sometimes haunting quality, with songs like 'You And I' and 'Call Of The Whale' reflecting that mood. The band's creative process was reportedly difficult, marked by internal disagreements and Languillon's struggles with substance abuse. They also faced plagiarism accusations from some critics, though the details remain part of the band's complicated story.

Despite critical attention, Mystery (Be) dealt with financial instability throughout their active years. Their later work included the 2003 album 'Grand Prix,' which experimented with electronic elements before they returned to a more familiar sound. The band's catalog, including tracks like 'Burnin' Up' and 'No More Tears,' documents a group that worked in a particular vein of European alternative music during that period.
