MEDEDELING !!
Door de Brexit komen titels die uit de UK afkomstig zijn nog altijd
met vertraging binnen. Soms valt het mee en duurt het slechts 2-3
weken, maar het komt helaas ook voor dat we 4 weken of meer moeten
wachten. We doen ons best om alles zo goed en snel mogelijk te
regelen, maar het blijft lastig...

| Omschrijving | Classic progressive rock by Versus X mastermind
Arne Schäfer. On his new Apogee solo album, there
are clear influences from Gentle Giant in the form
of contrapuntal a capella vocal lines, selected
arrangements with odd bars as well as atmospheric
parts with acoustic guitars and driving rock songs
with solo escapades and orchestral passages. As
always, the Apogee songs consist of many themes
that have been interwoven into complex, dynamic-
symphonic structures. Fans of Jethro Tull and the
early Genesis should also check this out.
The Blessing and the Curse“ has become a rather
non-compromizing prog album, with five tracks in
the range between 12 – 16 minutes playing time and
stylistically close to the classic progressive
rock of the early seventies (comparable to the
records of e.g. Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant, ELP,
UK, Pink Floyd of this period).
All songs are rather complex structurally
and regarding the harmonic material used, while
besides the Apogee-typical orchestrations also
many atmospheric elements are contained. This is
music for fans of long bows of tension and musical
developments, which still offer real surprises. As
always I tried to avoid musical „mainstream“ , on
the permanent search for unusual elements,
harmonies, melodies and rhythmic accentuation.
Also production wise I orientate myself towards
the transparent sound and instrumentation of the
classic prog albums, in which each instrument can
be clearly located in the mix. Like on the latest
Apogee CD`s Ebi Graef played the drums and I
played all other instruments and sang.”
