Sieges Even's career has not been quiet. After the first two albums, the band had its first change of singer. On the albums "Sophisticated" (1995) and "Uneven" (1997), the Holzwarth brothers (bass and drums) kept the band going. But they ended up with the guitarist Markus Steffen and recruited the outstanding singer Arno Menses, who was previously active as a drummer. With this line up, the band has won the hearts of prog fans, but also of demanding metalheads. Once again, Sieges Even was in the right place at the right time. "The Art Of Navigating By The Stars" was recorded in the Black Solaris studio by Uwe Lulis (also known today as Accept's guitarist) and released by InsideOut Music, then distributed by SPV. This was followed by dream reviews, also for the tour that followed. Of course, there was no question of releasing a vinyl in 2005, so this reissue is already expected by many fans. But the CD has also been "out of print" for a few years, so it was also necessary to act in this context. The graphics of the double LP in gatefold were made by the original artist Thomas Ewerhard and the audio material was remastered separately for the vinyl and the CD. The concept of "The Art Of Navigating By The Stars" is still exciting today, as is the music, which is both complicated and hard, but also full of emotion. In this sense, Sieges Even were simply the great German masters. Frz.: La carrière de Sieges Even n'a pas été tranquille. Après les deux premiers albums, le groupe a connu son premier changement de chanteur. Sur les albums "Sophisticated" (1995) et "Uneven" (1997), les frères Holzwarth (basse et batterie) ont continué à faire tourner le groupe. Mais ils se sont retrouvés avec le guitariste Markus Steffen et ont recruté le chanteur remarquable Arno Menses, qui était auparavant actif en tant que batteur. Avec ce line up, le groupe a conquis les cœurs des fans de prog, mais aussi ceux des métalleux exigeants. Une fois de plus, Sieges Even était au bon endroit au bon moment. "The Art Of Navigating By The Stars" a été enregistré dans le studio Black Solaris par Uwe Lulis (également connu aujourd'hui comme guitariste d'Accept) et est sorti chez InsideOut Music, alors distribué par SPV. Il s'en est suivi des critiques de rêve, également pour la tournée qui a suivie. Bien entendu, il n'était pas question de sortir un vinyle en 2005, si bien que cette réédition est déjà attendue par de nombreux fans. Mais le CD est lui aussi "out of print" depuis quelques années, de sorte qu'il fallait également agir dans ce contexte. Les graphismes du double LP en gatefold ont été réalisés par l'artiste original Thomas Ewerhard et le matériel audio a été remasterisé séparément pour le vinyle et le CD. Le concept de "The Art Of Navigating By The Stars" enthousiasme encore aujourd'hui, tout comme la musique qui est à la fois compliquée et dure, mais aussi pleine d'émotions. Dans ce sens, Sieges Even étaient tout simplement les grands maîtres allemands.
