Mosaik have been considered as an off-shoot band of the legendary Swedish proggers Atlas, but instrumental credits reveal the secret of a rather personal project by the band's guitarist Janne Persson, even if a couple of other Atlas members are on the album, namely keyboardist Erik Bjorn Nielsen and bassist Ulf Hedlund.Apparently Persson started this effort only months after the release of Atlas' ''Bla vardag'' album, kicking off with the recordings in 1980 at Berges Ljudstudio in Malmo.Persson is the only musician to be featured in all tracks, helped out by a long list, including Hans Annéllsson on guitar, Micke Pinotti on drums, Dan Bornemark and Karl Witting on lead vocals, Peter Nilsson on saxes and Tomas Gunnarsson on violin.The self-titled album of Mosaik came out in 1981 in a private vinyl press.
