Enchants origins date back to 1989 when Doug Ott (guitar and vocals), Michael Benignus Geimer (keys), and Paul Craddick (drums) first came together. Over time the group created several demos while filling out their lineup. They added Ed Platt (bass) and Ted Leonard (vocals) to do just that task. Such was the grouping that recorded the debut album A Blueprint of the World in 1993. Two years later, the band released Wounded. They followed that one up in 1997 with Time Lost. 1998 saw the album Break hitting the stores, followed by 2001s Juggling 9 or Dropping 10. A year later the group returned with a more song-oriented approach on Blink of an Eye.
