Epica - We Will Take You With Us - 2 meter sessies [2005]

“

Epica is definitely the right name for this Dutch goth/metal group. There sound is truly epic. Darkly spiritual, classical and symphonic, you feel yourself drawn into a multi-layered Netherworld populated with saints and sinners, ghosts and spirits, demons and angels, God and the Devil. Like the literary figures of Dante and his beloved Beatrice, Mark Jansen and the exceedingly lovely Simone Simons serve as guides through the various intangible worlds of Heaven, Hell and the realms in-between created by the talented singer, songwriter and guitarist Jansen. When they decided to title this DVD 'We Will Take You With Us' they really meant it.

"For those of you not familiar with the '2 meter sessies' (2 meter sessions) let me first explain them a little. In the eighties a radio DJ called Jan Douwe Kroeske did a show on the Dutch public radio. Because he is a very tall man (around two meters) his show was called '2 meter de lucht in' (2 meters on the air). In 1987, Crowded House during their new album promo tour, decided to perform some tracks of their new album in the small radio studio. Later on an irregular basis, other artists did the same thing and most of them took only an acoustic guitar and some other small instruments with them. After this 'small live performances' became a regular item on the show and hence it got its name: "2 meter sessies". ~ Dries Dokter"
