Nieuws 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 | Album number 12 by mastermind Arne Schäfer and his
congenial partner Eberhard Graef. This is now the
5th under the PPR flag. We can be really proud of
this level of trust. As usual, a great neo-,
retro-prog album with great long tracks. Arne
writes:
“The new Apogee album Through the Gate is
stylistically a little more diversified. Based on
the elements of classic progressive rock (see
Jethro Tull, Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant, ELP, UK,
Rush), the musical spectrum also extends to
influences from classical, folk rock and heavy
rock and there are even influences in the title
track Clear jazz influences woven in. The album
contains 4 long tracks ranging from 12 to 16
minutes in length and two shorter pieces. As
always, the pieces are structurally very complex,
contain large-scale tension, many odd rhythms and
harmonic modulations, but also atmospheric
elements, catchy refrains, improvised guitar solos
and hymn-like passages, as well as Apogee-typical
orchestrations. During the production, I once
again placed a lot of emphasis on natural dynamics
and transparency, so that every instrument in the
mix remains clearly identifiable. Like on the last
Apogee albums, Ebi Graef plays drums and I play
all the other instruments. For the album cover we
used beautiful astronomical photographs by Versus
X technician Andreas Tofahrn, who also created the
album layout.”
