"What Power Art Thou" - a song that was composed by Henry Purcell in the late 17th century for the semi opera "King Arthur". Apoptose and tenor Daniel Sans preserve the complex harmonic structure of the original translating it into a breathtaking five minute ride in apoptotic soundspheres. They succeed in conjuring up Purcell's "cold genius" that had already fascinated legendary countertenor Klaus Nomi in the 1980s.

The album is available on CD from all the usual online retailers and of course from www.tesco-germany.com or www.apoptose.net.

[what power art thou]

what power art thou,
who from below
hast made me rise unwillingly and slow
from beds of everlasting snow?

see'st thou not how stiff and wondrous old,
far unfit to bear the bitter cold,
i can scarcely move or draw my breath?
let me, let me freeze again to death.
