Apollo Guitars

Based in an Arthur C. Clarke novel, this album really makes you dream, travel through the stars and imagine this weird and diverse history. And this is along with Tubular Bells III, the last great album that Oldfield made. The production is just incredible, you will need a lot of listenings to apreciate the amount of details this album hides. The album is low paced, except some epic fragments wich will make you goose bumps… The dominat key are the keyboard and electronic elemnts, except the omnipresent Oldfield's guitars. The typical 90's new age is mixed with some original Oldfield's element and etnic influences, making a really stimulant and fresh mixture. Just marvellous!

ELYSIUM is the anticipated debut album of Grace and Fire. This beautifully illustrated 6-panel digipak with 12 page booklet tells the journey into a world that resembles Dante's Inferno. Each band member adds their unique style, but blends into a coherant set of tracks, each one different from the last and yet one feels the album would be incomplete without them all. Production and mixing by Threshold's Karl Groom at Thin Ice Studios is indicative of the quality that can be expected. Listen out for the guest musicians with a cameo from Derek Sherinian (ex-Dream Theater/Sons of Apollo) and Yngwie Malmsteen vocalists Göran Edman and Mark Boals joining up with André on a couple of tracks.

JSS currently also fronts Sons Of Apollo. CD versions of the album also include a bonus live album recorded at Frontiers Rock Festival in 2019, “Live At Frontiers Rock Festival 2019," which was released in digital format only this past April (2020).

With a whirlwind of instrumental styles fusing classical, rock, blues, jazz, world music, progressive, as well as the quintessential California musical genre surf music, the California Guitar Trio's stunning virtuosity and sly sense of humor have earned them an enthusiastic following and wide notoriety, with significant crossover in the progressive, acoustic and classical music scenes.
