Solar Project

The German rock band Solar Project was founded in 1988 by Robert Valet, Volker Janacek and Peter Terhoeven. The music has a small amount of neo mixed with some elements of symphonic and melodic. The result is nice vocals (male, female and choir) melodic prog style and heavy rhythms. Many albums are marked by Pink Floyd's influence.

Solar Project releases their by now 12th concept album titled "Ghost Lights" under the label New Music - Green Tree. The spectrum of Solar Project's music can be described best as progressive rock, sensitive, interleaved, driving, with enduring arcs of suspense and surprising turns, disturbing and bewitching.
The album sets into music the human behavior misdirected by "ghost lights". The title track "Ghost Lights" describes the systematic destruction of planet Earth by mankind in search for power and wealth. "Prey" illustrates the meaningless hunt to urge and the associated urge to kill. "On The Run" questions the mental state of man, who is sawing off the branch they are sitting on. "Chivvy" uncovers the brutal recklessness of man among themselves. "Fen-Fire" brands the non-existing perception of global problems and the resulting dire consequences.

The result is nice vocals, melodic prog style and heavy rhythms. "World Games" and "The House Of S. Phrenia" albums are marked by Pink Floyd's influence. Solar Project successfully adds a new facet to Nineties neo progressive.

For their 25th band anniversary Solar Project releases the debut album The Final Solution from 1990 together with the album EMP - A Tribute To Pink Floyd consisting of the classic tracks Echoes, Money and Pigs as a limited special edition digipak CD.
The Final Solution is a gigantic art-rock spectacle, an opulent sound setting and an intense hodgepodge of electronic-symphonic drama and baroquish friskiness.
