German project Apogee have been releasing material at a steady pace for the past 25 years or so, a venture that started out and still is the creative vehicle of composer and musician Arne Schäfer, but now with drummer Eberhard Graef appearing to be a permanent member as well. "Endurance of the Obsolete" is the tenth album to be issued under the Apogee moniker, and was released by German label Progressive Promotion Records in the summer of 2020.
Ably assisted on percussion by Eberhard Graef, Shafer puts in a tour de force on guitars, keyboards and vocals an impressive feat given the complexity of the multi-textured arrangements which range from standard driving rock to full blown symphonic textures. It has to be said that this is a good rendering of some traditional symphonic prog rock. Ambitious, complex, packed with drama and a good measure of harpsichord thrown into the mix for that authentic folk-classical feel. The themes musical and lyrical are interwoven, atmospheric cerebral and often beautifully rendered.
