THE SONGS ON OUR ALBUM ARE...

Scary Night
Music & Lyrics by Patrick Nagl
A song about a dream with lyrical hints to Ronnie James Dio.
This was performed live by The Jaybirds earlier in this century but never recorded properly nor released officially... until now!

Gone Too Soon
Music & Lyrics by Christian Loebenstein
Originally written and demoed in 6/8 time back in 2003, this is a tribute to Jeff, Steve, John, George, Phil (your guess!), standing for all the great musicians that have... gone too soon!

New Frontiers
Music & Lyrics by Christian Loebenstein
This song goes back as far as 1994, and a demo recording with piano, acoustic guitar, live drums and different lyrics was recorded sometime back in the day.
Our tribute to the classic Jack Bruce/Pete Brown song Theme For An Imaginary Western in the style of Mountain.

Strangers When We Meet
Music by Patrick Nagl & Christian Loebenstein
Lyrics by Christian Loebenstein
A real collaboration, originally titled 'Go Away'. Patrick came with the music to a rehearsal one day, Christian changed the chorus and had a lyric that worked perfectly with the music. Trivia: Our first drummer, Thomas, never liked it! ;-)

The Edge Of Life
Music & Lyrics by Christian Loebenstein
The whole song clocks in at 7 minutes! It was originally written and demoed by Christian in March 1995 and then rearranged in 2001 and features beautiful layers of Mellotron, ... and some Hammond! Also, note Patrick's jazzy octaving!
We'd like to dedicate this song to Mel Galley (1948-2008), founding member and guitarist of Trapeze. R.I.P.

Can You Hear Me
Music by Patrick Nagl & Christian Loebenstein
Lyrics by Christian Loebenstein
Another real collaboration between Patrick & Christian, we literally wrote this in the rehearsal room, combining riffs and musical ideas - verse & bridge by Patrick, chorus and solo section by Christian, lyrics by Christian - another old lyric that luckily was on hand and fits perfectly!

Another Quiet Mile
Music & Lyrics by Patrick Nagl & Robert Wittman
Additional Lyrics by Christian Loebenstein
Arranged by Medusa
Our re-recording (Stefan loves to play this!) of the classic Music Apartment song, which was originally released on the Takin' A Detour Vol.3 CD-Compilation in 2006. Executed quite differently from the original, it has become a benchmark in our live-set.

A Second Earth
Music & Lyrics by Christian Loebenstein
Our little Prog-Rock epic, 8 minutes long in its entirety. Originally written back in 1996, it consists of various parts and really shines in its studio version with lots of piano and keyboards added!

_________________________________________________________

Medusa rose from the ashes of the now defunct Music Apartment in September 2006.
Before their 4 year stint in this popular Austrian Psychedelic Rock group (check them out, you'll find the link in our Top Friends!) Patrick Nagl (guitar) and Thomas Schmitzberger (drums) had been in the hugely popular Jaybirds (1989-2002) who opened for the Rolling Stones in front of 80,000 people on their Bridges To Babylon Tour, Summer 1998 and are still playing shows all around Europe.

When Music Apartment split in the summer of 2006, Patrick and Thomas teamed up with Christian Loebenstein, formerly of Trigon (AT), Forty Fever and lead singer in the cult Rhythm & Soul outfit It’s A Snip, to form a new Power Trio and go into a rockier direction.
Medusa was born.

The band rehearsed intensively, preparing original material and selected covers, including a few surprises.
Their Live shows in Vienna throughout the spring of 2007 were a tremendous success and the guys were looking forward to playing in front of an audience regularly and recording a couple of tracks for a tentative autumn release.

With band activity coming to an unexpected halt from June to August 2007, Christian left the band with Patrick following suite.
However with loads of original material still unreleased, unrehearsed and unrecorded the two of them decided to continue Medusa and go into an even rockier and as it appears more progressive direction, recruiting powerhouse drummer Stefan Zeder of Garage Rockshow and Die 4 Glorreichen 7 fame!

Medusa was back and started recording their first album.

Starting with a very well received show supporting the legendary Spooky Tooth in February and more gigs in Austria, 2008 has been another great year for the band with the release of the long-awaited Debut Album on CD a crowning conclusion!

2009 sees the band gigging in support of the album which now has distribution in Austria via Hoanzl and is also available worldwide from CDBaby.

While taking the second half of 2009 off, Christian and Stefan have formed two MEDUSA spinoff projects, MEDUSA Undercover and MEDUSA Undercover & Acoustic.
Nevertheless at least 4 new MEDUSA songs are being prepared for recording autumn/winter 2009-2010 for completion early next year.

(to be continued...)
_______________________________________________________

Medusa sind im Herbst 2006 aus den Trümmern der ambitionierten Psych/Prog-Rocker Music Apartment hervorgegangen und haben sich nach dem legendären zweiten Album des britischen Powertrios Trapeze benannt.

Musikalisch orientieren sich Patrick Nagl (Gitarre), der bereits in den Neunzigern mit den legendären Jaybirds große Erfolge feiern konnte und unter anderem vor 85.000 Zusehern die Rolling Stones in Wiener Neustadt supporten durfte, Christian Loebenstein (Gesang, Bass und Keyboards), der unter anderem für den Gesang in der Kultband It's A Snip verantwortlich zeichnet, sowie Stefan Zeder (Schlagzeug), der im Herbst 2007 zur Band stieß und schon mit unterschiedlichsten Künstlern wie etwa Harri Stojka, Alex Bourne und den Vier Glorreichen Sieben gespielt hat, am klassischen Rock der späten Sechziger und Siebziger Jahre mit einem kräftigen Schuß Prog-Rock und klingen dabei ungemein authentisch.

Nebst eigenem Material in klassischer Powertrio-Besetzung mit gezielt eingesetzten Keyboard Parts, die großteils mittels Fußpedalen angesteuert werden, präsentieren Medusa in ihrem Live- Set auch die eine oder andere Überraschung in Form von ausgewählten Cover-Versionen.

In ihrem ersten Jahr haben sich Medusa bereits in der Wiener Live-Szene einen Namen gemacht, der erste Höhepunkt in Jahr Zwei war sicherlich der Support für die legendären Spooky Tooth auf deren Nomad Poets Tour.

Nach fast einjähriger Entstehungszeit ist nun auch endlich der erste Medusa Longplayer auf CD erhältlich, und steht seit 10. April auch österreichweit (Vertrieb: Hoanzl) in den Läden.

All jene, die Medusa dieses Jahr live erlebt haben, haben bereits einen exklusiven Vorgeschmack auf das zweite Album bekommen, denn obwohl die Band die zweite Hälfte 2009 eine Auszeit genommen hat, werden die Basic Tracks für mindestens 4 neue Songs im Herbst/Winter aufgenommen und sollen dann 2010 fertiggestellt werden!

Um die Zeit bis dahin zu überbrücken, haben Stefan & Christian zwei MEDUSA Spinoff Projekte gegründet, nämlich MEDUSA Undercover und MEDUSA Undercover & Acoustic. (Fortsetzung folgt...)

10" vinyl 45rpm -

108 are the diabolical
passions that beset us and we must battle to become Buddha. 108 is a magic and
exoteric number in many mystic religions and cultures. All you need to discover
about the real nature of this world: pure fiction! Two cover songs about the
diabolic passions from great Italian artists of the 70’s like Biglietto per
l’Inferno and Franco Battiato.

As the lotus grows in mud without showing any
traces that might betray its origins, its leaves and its stem, while floating
in water not wet, so it `s also the wise man who lives in the world, but is not
of the world...
