Overlooked German band with great love for 70's progressive rock, led by (professional chemist) Arne Schaefer, also leader of the side-project Apogee. They were formed at the dawn of the 90's by Schaefer and drummer Stefan Maywald, who were members of the new wave band ''Vague Venture''. Keyboardist Ekkehard Nahm saw Scahefer playing at a solo concert and meant to be the third member of the band's early years. The Frankfurt-based trio recorded their debut in 1994 with Schaefer playing basses, guitars and handling the vocals.
As Schaefer is a devoted fan of Peter Hammill, plenty of the material is song-based without lacking in instrumental intensity…
Versus X are a German band who on this their second album have created three long tracks totalling 57 minutes. Dark moody atmosphere grace this album with long instrumental passages, alternating from mellow to more uptempo in a good and very intresting manner. Quite complex eclectic prog, elaborated arrangements, piano, keyboards and guitar having an important role here.
