| Description: | Versus X could become one of the greatest modern Progressive rock bands and the one with the most personality. Those four German musicians (Guitar-vocals, keyboards, bass & drums) perform an elaborate and suggestive music that goes through a lot of effort to create different ambiences. The lyrics (Sung in perfect English by a top vocalist) show an ambition that is only matched by the complex and hyper-refined instrumentation. If it is always possible to relate this band to some Seventies references (Some atmosphere and the singers' voice could evoke ELOY), this mainly translates in their feelings, not so much of the formal aspect of their work. So, the result is some decisively original tracks with a quite unique sound. Issued in 1994, their eponymous album can at times remind of some golden Progressive rock bands (KING CRIMSON, EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, CAMEL...). However, guitarist-singer Arne SCHÄFER and keyboardist Ekkehard NAHM's band truly got big two years later with "Disturbance".All tracks arranged and performed by Versus X and recorded between November 1999 and May 2000 in Frankfurt/Main.
All compositions by Ekkehard Nahm and Arne Schäfer with additional material by Uwe Völlmar and Jörg Fischer.
All lyrics by Arne Schäfer.
