Album Notes

This sampler compiles unreleased and rare material from 12 of Germany's most interesting progressive bands. A good survey of today's progressive scene in Germany as well as quite interesting for collectors of rarities.
All proceeds from this recording will be donated to the victims of the recent disastrous floodings in the East of Germany.
(Note: Lines Notes in the booklet are in German - an English version will soon be available at www.progfever.de)
