Violet District - Assurance video free download

VIOLET DISTRICT were a band coming from Freising near Munich. They were founded in 1988 with the name INCUBUS and released only one CD, the self financed debut "Terminal breath" (1992) which got great reviews in the european prog scene. Now the german label TEMPUS FUGIT releases a beautifully packaged remaster of "Terminal breath". The dutch SI magazine wrote 1992: "One of the best symphonic albums out of Germany ... the band continues where Marillion have stopped in 1985". And what else can I say. This concept album offers symphonic neoprog somewhere between IQ, Marillion's "Clutching at straws" and 90ies Pink Floyd. Great vocals, smooth compositions, symphonic arrangements, deep emotions, sensitive use of guitar soli ... Simply great stuff !

It's a shame that this band split in 1997, but some of the members have founded a new band called RPWL, which will release their first album in summer 2000.
