Encounters of the third kind! "There are many stories about visits from extraterrestrials. Sometimes the aliens come as friends, sometimes they come to enslave us. On this cold night, lights in the sky are making people all over the world uneasy..." The aliens in "A New World" - the first song of the new album Tales From Outer Space by the Bavarian progrockers RPWL - meet the aforementioned band and learn by "laying on their hands" how much suffering and evil caused by humans prevails on earth and immediately leave again, completely shocked. After eight studio albums, one best-of album and six live albums, the spaceship RPWL penetrates into the infinite vastness of space and when we write the year 2019, more precisely star date 22 March 2019, the disc has landed. With their four-man crew, they have dedicated themselves entirely to science fiction on the new LP. Singer and keyboarder Yogi Lang: "This time it didn't turn out to be a concept album in the true sense. But there are seven short stories about science fiction. For us it was not only thematically very interesting, but also musically an unbelievable playground, which literally invited us to experiment with sounds and all imaginable musical stylistic devices".
