Album: Live at the Spirit (2002)
Genre: Prog Rock (Symphonic/Crossover/Neo Prog) / Germany
There are so many events in Progressive Rock that we often forget the so called revelations as fast as we had crowned them. However, a simple live performance can bring them back to life quite effectively ! The perfect illustration of this fact is "Live At The Spirit", the recording of a memorable show given by VERSUS X in Belgium. Those four Germans felt perfectly home in Francis GERON’s famous hall Spirit Of 66 in Verviers, and played a brilliant concert free of all worries. The result is four long tracks taken from their three studio albums issued to date. Let’s remember that after a first and self produced eponymous album, "Disturbance" & "The Turbulent Zone" were recorded in 1997 and 2001 on the Musea label. Carried away by Arne SCHÄFER’s fervent vocals (A nd also by his inspired guitar style !), Ekkehard NAHM’s magnificent keyboards and the excellent and deadly precise rhythm section, the audience is really taken in the whirlwind of this mysterious and wonderful music. No doubt about it, VERSUS X has settled as a reference in their genre, a band impossible not to take into account ! Something close to magic happened on the 7th of July 2001… "Editorial Review" (www.amazon.com)
Songs / Tracks Listing
01. Curtain Call
02. Strange Attractor
03. To go Free
04. The Mirror of Division
RATING: 8.25 / 10
