## The RPWL Story: Beyond Pink Floyd Comparisons
RPWL, often compared to Pink Floyd, has come a long way. Starting in the 90s as a Pink Floyd tribute act, they're archival experts of Syd Barrett's work and still feature PF songs in their setlists. But with 10 studio and 7 live albums in 20 years, they've earned their own identity.
## The "God Has Failed" Backstory
The 20th anniversary of their debut album "God Has Failed" in November 2020 was meant to have a grand tour. When that didn't happen, they filmed a live studio session of the entire album. This release represents their early days before overarching release concepts in 2005.
## The Album's Significance
The music was created in the rehearsal room, and the band name reflects their grassroots nature. "God Has Failed" was a huge step from their tribute band identity and processed personal experiences. Singer Yogi Lang's farewell to his father is a central theme, with motifs of goodbye, mourning, and transience.
## RPWL's Success and Artistic Vision
RPWL has never chased commercial success; music is their priority. This passion has led to a successful career, with concerts in North America, appearances on WDR Rockpalast, and international chart successes.
## The Live Experience
During the production, a nostalgic atmosphere filled the hall. The band formed a circle, creating an intimate, experimental, and familiar ambience. Master guitarist Kalle Wallner's solos, along with the Gilmour Girls' vocals, and the use of vintage Moog and grand piano add to the magic.
## The 2021 Release
"God Has Failed" in 2021 is as close as you can get to RPWL live. It meets high audiophile and visual standards, giving fans the feeling of being in the middle of the action. It's both a full circle statement and a showcase of their excellence.
## Release Details
The album is released digitally and physically (double vinyl). The vinyl includes Pink Floyd interpretations from 2000. It's also available as a Blu-Ray and DVD, with bonus content like discussions with the original and current line-ups, and a listening session.
