ACHE was formed in Copenhagen in 1968, members being TORSTEN OLAFSSON (bass, vocals), FINN OLAFSSON (guitar, vocals), PETER MELLIN (organ, piano) and GLEN FISHER (drums and percussion).

They initially drew attention with their first album DE HOMINE URBANO ("About Urban Man”) which was the first ever Rock ballet, performed by the Royal Danish Ballet Company in Copenhagen in 1969. Their music was a mixture of beat, symphonic-rock and classical-rock with strong Hammond organ and guitar interplays. Ache was reagrded as the be Danish equivalent of Procol Harum with some Van Der graaf Generator influence.

"DE HOMINE URBANO” was issued in Europe by Philips in February 1970 and featured two tracks that dominated either side of the record.
