Pink Floyd's ghost finally found worthy vessels — and they're German.
Since many years Echoes, the band around guitarist and singer Oliver Hartmann (Avantasia, Hartmann, ex-Rock Meets Classic), is well known as frontman of the most popular and successful German Pink Floyd Tribute meanwhile touring across Europe and far beyond the borders of Germany. With their successful live DVD/CD "Barefoot To The Moon" (No. #20 at the Media Control Charts Germany 2015), recorded and arranged with pure acoustic instruments and supported by a four-piece string ensemble from Prague, the band has impressively shown that the original's great heritage can be interpreted in an interesting, inspiring and absolutely creative way. Now in early 2019, the group will release their successor and electrical continuation entitled 'Live From The Dark Side (A Tribute To Pink Floyd)", recorded live at 'Rock Of Ages Festival 2018' in Rottenburg-Seebronn, Germany.
Sound
That Prague string ensemble didn't fly in for nothing.
Production
Acoustic-to-electric evolution: they actually thought about this.
Acting
Hartmann's voice carries decades of borrowed ghosts.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Germany's obsession with precision makes it weirdly perfect for Floyd's sprawling epics — they nail the structure so the chaos actually works.
The 'Barefoot to the Moon' acoustic predecessor hit #20 on German charts in 2015, proving tribute albums can outsell original bands' recent output. Brutal.
