Solar Project

Volker Janacek, Peter Terhoeven and Robert Valet were the core part of a band called "Solar System" which existed from 1981 'til 1987. In summer 1988 we decided to produce a CD documenting our musical material from the 80s and asked some guest musicians to join us. After one year of recording sessions "The final solution" was published in February 1990. It is sold out by now but back then the sales figures were pretty low because we had a hard time finding distributors.
Just for the fun of it we record new material on the second album "World Games". At the time "World Games" was released in October 1992 the progressive music scene took notice of "Solar Project".
The band got some very good reviews and the sales increased so we were boosted to make another CD, "The House of S. Phrenia". It was published in January 1995 and is regarded as the best Solar Project album by many.
In 1997 we finished our fourth CD "...in Time" which was released by the Mus™a label. "...in Time" and "The House of S. Phrenia" have been also published as Brazilian releases in 1998.
We continued our studio work for the next album, but took a time out to record a medley of Pink Floyd's "Animals" which was released by the Sysyphus Label in 2000.
The fifth album "Five" is available since January 2001 at Mus™a again.
The Pink Floyd Tribute Sampler "More Relics" was released by the Sysyphus Label in 2002. Here we presented the highly acclaimed 23 minutes interpretation of "Echoes".
In May 2004 we released our sixth album "Force Majeure", available at Mus™a again.
Our seventh album "Chromagnitude" was released in April 2007, available at Mus™a again.
In October 2007 we have published our eight album "Best of .." in vinyl. It contains a collage of tracks from all seven Solar Project CDs and two unreleased tracks.
In April 2014 we have published our ninth album "Aquarmada" as CD and LP, released by the German label New Music - Green Tree.
