PASSENGER - Move Time CD

Passenger was a German AOR/rock band from the Stuttgart area. The best-known member was drummer Peter Garattoni, who played in Eulenspygel and later also played with Rebel (with John Lawton), Tox, Veto, Midnight Darkness, and other bands. With his GAMA music publishing house (he was the general manager at GAMA) and the Spygel recording studio in Kirchheim/Teck, Sri Lanca (aka SL Records) was one of the first labels he worked for. Later, GAMA became better known for heavy metal releases, including acts such as Stormwitch, Gravestone, SDI, Darkness, Necronomicon, Tokyo Blade, Paul Dianno's Battlefield, Sudden Darkness, Vectom, Tyrant, Vampyr, and others. Another heavy metal band was Six Point Six. Two members of Passenger can be found in their lineup: Frank Wörner (guitar) and Michael Stahl (bass). Peter Krakor (vocals) and Peter Krüger (keyboards) continued as a pop duo called Krüger & Krakor. Passenger may have only been a studio project.

"Move Time" is reminiscent of AOR acts like Toto, but also has a certain 70s feel. No wonder, since the album was recorded in 1981. And there's no doubt that all the musicians involved were highly talented. The vocals of Garattoni's wife, Li, can be heard in the background. Together they enjoyed success with esoteric music on Sony Music in the 1990s and 2000s. This is the first official CD release of "Move Time," exclusively restored and remastered.
