ON THE AFTERTASTE

This album was released by the Italian label Mellow Records in 2006 - not in 2000. "On the Aftertaste" is the fourth official CD release by Apogee, though this is actually the project's very first studio album . It consists of the tracks Arne Schafer composed and recorded from 1989 to 1991 (i.e. quite long before the appearance of "The Border of Awareness"), none of them were available previously, of course. Musically, there is a lot in common between "On the Aftertaste" and most, if not all, of the other albums that Arne released under the Apogee moniker. The only exception would probably be "Die Glaserne Wand & Schleifen". Recorded in 1988, this collaborative effort between Arne and singer/lyricist Gerald Heimann is much more classically influenced than any of Schaefer's subsequent releases.
