Original Release Date: March 25, 2008
Number of Discs: 1
Format: Special Edition
As the wave of new European progressive rock continues to break on the shores of North America, an obvious few have risen to the top in both critical and audience acclaim. Following in the footsteps of Porcupine Tree and Riverside, Germany s RPWL is now ready to stake their claim with the release of their fifth studio album, The RPWL Experience .
Aptly titled, the album takes the listener on a journey through soundscapes that are equally entertaining and thought provoking. Discovery is the theme, and RPWL have delivered musical and lyrical visions that will always provide something new with each listen, as fans of the genre demand. The RPWL Experience is certain to be one of the most important progressive rock releases of 2008.
The Special Edition comes housed in a special slip case and contains two bonus tracks.
RPWL has really acheived something unique with this release. The music is simply awesome and has such depth and a really timeless feel. It even has a touch of comedy and laughter when they make out how they appear to the music business (This Is Not A Prog Song) sounding a bit like XTC . They have come very, very close to becoming equals in songwriting and performing as their heroes Pink Floyd. But they have managed not to directly copy them in any way, thus creating their own unique sound. It is hard to put a finger on it exactly. One moment the band sounds like Pink Floyd or Dave Gilmour ( Breathe In, Breathe Out and Masters Of War) the next they sound like Camel or early King Crimson (Talk To The River). This creates a wonderful experience in sound and listening. It gets to the point about the corruption of this world and finds the soul of the individual man as it offers some spiritual depth and healing. The beautiful chords used in many of these songs is really fantastic. I haven't heard playing on this level in many years. It is classic. It rocks. It speaks. A true experience for the senses. If you don't buy another CD this year, make sure you have this one.
