Rpwl

‘The Man And The Journey’ was an early PINK FLOYD concept album that never made it on to a sound carrier, but now it has via RPWL the band that made a career out of being an amazing FLOYD tribute band as well as a fantastic band in their own right that creates their own original brand of FLOYD-influenced art-rock!..

RPWL (Risettion Postl Wallner Lung - the band members) is a German progressive rock band. The band was formed in 1997 as a Pink Floyd cover band. After three years they started to make their own music based on their influences from their cover band era. Their debut CD, "God Has Failed" (2000) was met with international enthusiasm, praise and excellent reviews in all the major progressive rock music magazines.
Without a question, the music of their second album "Trying to Kiss the Sun" (2002) is still typically RPWL but with a well-thought out collage of sound and tone, haunting melodies and poetic texts that get under the skin and are not easily forgotten, together with a Brit-pop rock mood, RPWL has made significant steps towards their own style of music with this second album…

This RPWL release from 2007 is a special offer for their fans with a funny concept because limited to 999 copies, released at 09/09 and provided with 9 songs. Basically there are no surprises to point out - they remain faithful to their previous musical direction and have produced ambitious songs once again which are on the border between neo prog and psychedelic/space. So we have five live tracks whereas two of them are performed with the founding member Paul Rissettio on drums who was responsible for the R in the band name. Every member has added a new selfcomposed studio track which is another speciality of this album.

Superb live recording from the tour in support of their latest studio album 'Tales From Outer Space'…

“There are many stories about visits from extraterrestrials. Sometimes the aliens come as friends, sometimes they come to enslave us. On this cold night, lights in the sky are making people all over the world uneasy…”

10 turbulent years have passed by the Freising-based artrock band. The perfect occasion to celebrate the band anniversary extensively. RPWL present a double CD with all their hits from the last ten years but also new interpretations featuring acoustic arrangements. Well-known musicians like Ray Wilson, but also new friends like Tom Norris (London Symphony Orchestra) or the world-famous Hang-player Manu Delago are featuring RPWL.
