eclipsed: Your project Eureka was the German answer to Mike Oldfield. Much time has passed since the last almost instrumental concept work "Shackleton's Voyage" (2009). "Great Escapes" now presents a new Eureka sound. Hardly any folk, symphonic prog and Oldfield bonds left. Instead of Claudia Sokollek, who sang on the first records until 2005, you now take over the mic yourself. What has the musician Frank Bossert undergone since 2009 for further development?
In his new conceptual work, Frank Bossert from Hamburg addresses the theme of flight, especially from one's own self. While he had engaged himself for lead singing for the predominantly instrumental predecessor Billy Sherwood, multi-instrumentalist Bossert now sings all the tracks himself. That fits to this very personal and clearly rockier album.
