My Eyes Are Wide Open
Description
Leaving the comfort zone of your own band to explore new musical paths takes courage. MARCO GLÜHMANN should not be lacking in this as the singer of one of the most successful German art rock bands SYLVAN, as he is used to being at the forefront of the spotlight. It speaks for his enormous creativity to use a long break from his main band to try something new without the necessary compromises, specifications and restrictions of his fellow band members. The result is a fantastic album that is full of energy and esprit and walks somewhere between rock, art rock and sophisticated pop music. After his SYLVAN bandmates Volker Söhl and Johnny Beck presented the project VIOLENT JASPER last year, we can now look forward to their frontman's work "A Fragile Present"!
Marco not only wrote the first single "My eyes are wide open" in a very short time, but the lyrics also stuck. "The text 'Lay your head on me, oh my little boy' still gives me goosebumps because I imagine myself and my son and feel the love, the entertainingness of the moment, but also the responsibility of bringing him into this world." send'." the artist continues. The fact that this song in particular was refined by none other than MARILLION guitarist STEVE ROTHEREY, one of Marco's musical heroes, sets a very special exclamation point.
Speaking of musicians, the line-up reads like a "who's who" of the art rock/progressive rock scene: in addition to the already mentioned STEVE ROTHERY, BILLY SHEERWOOD from YES also makes a guest appearance: he led the choirs on "Hear Our Voice " in the best YES style. RPWL guitarist KALLE WALLNER plays most of the guitars on the album and was significantly involved not only as a co-producer but also as an arranger. Of course, SYLVAN guitarist JOHNNY BECK does the honors and the rhythm section consists of drummer TOMMY EBERHARDT and bassist MARKUS GRÜTZNER (RPWL). All of this was recorded, mixed and produced by RPWL mastermind YOGI LANG in the farm studios, who also contributed some keyboards.
"A Fragile Present" is a true "picture book" album that you couldn't wish for more beautiful. Great and memorable melodies that won't let you go, highly emotional music and great musicians. All of this wants to make you enjoy the album again and again.
