1: APOGEE is a japanese synthie-pop band found in 2003. It consists of four members:
Nagano Makoto (Vo.& G.)
Mano Wataru (Dr.& Cho.)
Ooshiro Yoshihiko (Syn.& G.)
YUU Hiroshi (Ba.&Cho.)
APOGEEs music is influenced by New Wave/80s sounds with remarkably synthesizer parts. In contrast Makoto’s soft and unique voice and many musical elements make a “new mixture”.
Trademarks are their highly animated music videos, which never fail to surprise.
They debuted in 2006 with their first single 「Yakan Hikou」( Night Flight). In 2007 their first album 「Fantastic」released featuring their singles „Ghost Song” and “Good Bye” such as their debut single.
Additional to their regular singles they recorded covers of popular songs (by BONNIE PINK, Crystal Key, Utada Hikaru and more), which they released as acoustic versions.
In the same year they had great success with their first performance on SUMMER SONIC `07, which attracted overwhelming attention of thousands.
2: A German Progressive Rock band. Arne Schäfer plays all the instruments and sings in a “Hammillian oriented” progressive style. Although the thoughtful lyrics feature in the music, there are very good instrumental textures on the background. This combination makes the music very interesting, although ground-breaking sounds are found here… there’s always a component referring to “I have listened to this before somewhere”. Its worth to mention that the albums are very well produced in general.
