Hey guys
last week I found out that the German band RPWL are going to release a new album this march. It's going to be a concept album. What do you think about it? I only read their press text on their homepage www.rpwl.de |

Nobody else in this forum interested in RPWL?
If so, has anybody already heard some of the new songs on the radio or elsewhere? |

| I'm a fan and looking forward to it. Was on their site about a week ago. I'm a little sad that it appears bassist Chris Postl is not on the album. I thought his solo album was very good. Still, looking forward to the release of the new RPWL. |

it's a good album, no surprises though ... you'll find one highlight, the epic 'The Fisherman' which is really excellent  their gig in Hannover is scheduled ... ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Rivertree" rel="nofollow">  |

Postl's solo album is great. the thing about RPWL is that they have infectious melodies that keep me coming back.

Yeah I agree. It's not easy to write melodies that you want to hear over and over. They are really good at it. What is Yogi's solo album like? I like Postls because it had the feel of RPWL without being them.

| Yogi's solo album is excellent. it's a lot more spacey than RPWL albums. there are lots of tasty moog solos as well as gilmouresqe guitar. Yogi also does a nice moog solo on the most recent Eureka release from a few years ago. I really love Yogi's voice. so soothing and uplifting. he's very inspired. |

| What do you guys think about the idea of an audiobook coming with the limited edition? |

Hi all, was just on CDnow and was able to listen to samples of the new album-SOUNDS GOOD! Can't wait for the release here in the states. More proof that Lang and Wallhner are a terrific writing team. Don't really care one way or the other about the whole audiobook thing. Just want more great music.

. . . and yeah, we love you guys and don't mind helping get the word out / providing input, but really, try to establish more of a web presence here other than just touting your own band. ------------- -------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob------- I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms. |

^ Call it a hunch . . . 7 posts total, all of which are designed at building hype for either RPWL or Yogi Lang himself. I honestly don't have a problem with the concept, it's just the pretending to be random person on the street act that seems disingenuous to me. (blink, holy heck, I got disingenuous without using spell check . .. woot) ------------- -------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob------- I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms. |

probably right. if so, it really hurts the rep of the band.
