Apogee is a solo project of Arne Schäfer, of the German progressive rock band Versus X, along with drummer Eberhard Graef. "The Blessing and the Curse" has become a rather non-compromizing Prog Album, with 5 Longtracks, all in the range between 12-16 minutes playingtime and stylistically close to the classic Progressive Rock of the early seventies (comparable to the records of e.g. Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant, ELP, UK, Pink Floyd of this period). All Songs are rather complex structurally and regarding the harmonic material used, while besides the Apogee-typical orchestrations also many atmospheric elements are contained.
Tracklist:
01. Out of Control
02. Congealing Ground
03. Hard to See
04. The Inspiring Tune
05. The Blessing and the Curse
