"...One of the main reasons why I consider Brother ape III as one of the absolute best releases so far this year is ; the bands ability to combine very skillful songwriting with innovating variation and a wealth of ideas, plus the capacity to create music which is varied in terms of structure and emotions"

Staffan Vässmar, GARF



"...This third Brother ape is an excellent album of impregnated progressive rock'n'roll of the tradition of the great Seventies with a great modernity and a powerful groove. The amateurs of this musical style cannot pass without this opus!

Jean-Pierre Lhoir, Music in Belgium


"...One thing is for sure, this band has an inescapable sound, they are what they are, and each cd now has proven that. They have been a band long enough now to have realized their identity. Now it is just a matter of more people getting an opportunity to hear them. They are kind of a mellower sound, nearly jazz at times, very atmospheric, soft vocals, dynamic drumming, standout guitar work, and as mentioned very deep coloring in the compositions."

MJBrady, Prognosis


"...III is more rock and more varied than Shangri-la and it gets much higher points because of its experimental joy, choices of sounds and compositions. Brother ape has developed and will continue to develop. The band has grown as a unit which one also can hear. An album for open-minded, modern-thinking musicfans.

Daniel Eggenberger, Proggies


"...Swedish progressive music is world-class and Brother ape can now sail up to the top among the real big ones of our country and the best about the band is that they developed their style into something really unique."

Roger, Extended mix

The new record is almost finished,we shall record one more track to fill all the space on the CD.
We have one new starter ready that we named UNIVERSAL EYE.It's a rhythmic thing with spaced out lyrics. etno,rock vibes,we think it's a real cool startert .
I have recorded some drums last week that now is mixed and ready.Stefan is at the beach in some tropical environment to prepare himself
for the final song writing!We other poor creatures just have to work in our dungeon studio,living on coffee and bread! Well it sucks to be me!

Anyway!
This record sound great already in this raw mixed form and we hope to have it out before the summer!

We are proud to be the inspiring source for art.We just
received these wonderful watercolor paintings from our friend
Darlene R Koonce,who created a piece of art "Pathway "
(the painting to the right) while she was listening to brother ape.
 
We shall frame
them and put them up to our studio walls and get real inspired
for some new music projects.You can se some more of Darlene's
art here.    http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5479672

We have the lyrics ready for our next song that we started up as a project,it was meant to be a text there we tried out a new way to get the words on paper.
But Gunnar went so inspired of our opening lines so he just spitted out all his ideas in a big lyric mass, and mailed them to Stefan,so he could edit them to fit in the melodic pattern.

This was the fastest text ever made for a brother ape track!
We named this song to "COSMIC OVERDOSE 8.pm"
The drums,bass and rhythm guitar are ready so Stefan shall make the vocals and solo guitars and then it's done!
A new master piece wrapped in dist and spaced out lyrics ready to launch on brother ape III !

o
We try to select a version that we all agree is the
best pick to release on myspace.But we have to be
united in this issue ..so perhaps in December 2019
or earlier if we manage to handle this tricky part!!!
Or if we just could leave this in the hands of
the holy man,this might be ready to launch before
x-mas...
it

It feels like a miracle wen Viktor lays his magic hands on the mixing table!
Well we did a really god raw mix of human equation,but it was something wrong
with it!But a real pro like Viktor fixed that in some minutes and suddenly the
music comes out from the loud speakers with the attack and sound we were looking for!
Yes we are blessed by the presence of a holy engineering genius man,Hallelujah!

X-mas is on it's way and we shall have this one ready to be launched right from
the monkey cave to the web.So take a turn by our myspace page to download this
teaser,it will be up some days before x-mas!

Stefan went to Berlin over the weekend to get some inspiration to new songs,we hope he comes back with lots of new ideas to test on our poor monkey brains!
Yesterday was a real good night and we found some new ways to combine two themes.This was quite a surprise for me that Stefan wanted to chose this extreme way to put it together,but I like it!We shall contact our friend Victor to help us with a final mix on a "Human equation"so we can release it like a free download over the X mass.Then it will be up
on myspace like a streaming file.

Only the brother ape "NEWS"vill move to this place!
The rest of our homepage will remain the same.

SO IT'S HERE AGAIN!

The first wet snow that turns the streets into a grey slush.
Days like this is it real nice to have a place to escape to.
That place is under ground in
a bomb proof shelter,transformed into a studio.
It's here we do the recordings for the next CD.
If I remember right?Should it be about 7 new tracks ready and 2 in progress,Stefan have the visions
to something new Harder type of music that not are metal or hard rock,we have done some tests
with new beats to dress with riffs,chords and melodic themes.
And we think that we have developed the new path for brother ape up tempo songs.

Cheers!/m.b
