Eureka
Shackleton's Voyage
CD
His album Shackleton´s Voyage is spectacular in every respect and sees Hamburg’s multi-instrumentalist Frank Bossert return to his musical roots. Influenced more strongly again by rock acts such as Yes and Rush, Bossert’s Eureka project tells the true story of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s sensational Antarctica expedition in the years 1914 to 1916. Musically, Shackleton´s Voyage operates at the interface of prog rock, symphonic, Celtic and – mainly in terms of his guitar style – Mike Oldfield influences. Another sensation is the involvement of Billy Sherwood, a former member of prog rock legend Yes, who contributed the vocals on ‘The Challenge’ and ‘Going Home’. “I’d always dreamed of working with Billy Sherwood”, says Frank Bossert. “Eureka came to his attention a while ago via my MySpace site. Billy sent me a message, telling me how much he liked my music, so contact was established and we decided to work together.”
