Since 1999 POEGS has been publishing his music over the net. Poegs is Christian Zumdick: a 30 year-old german composer, guitarist and keyboarder who writes, arranges, performs and produces music by himself. The biggest musical influences are ambient / new age music like Tangerine Dream, Mike Oldfield, Kitaro, Klaus Schulze or Vangelis; as well as psychedelic and progressive rock music of the 70's such as Pink Floyd, Camel, Jethro Tull, Eloy or Genesis. The music is a blend of meditative new age over spheric ambient / SpaceRock to bluesy ProgRock. The sound is dominated by e-guitar, piano and synthesizer; sometimes with and sometimes without drums!

The album "TRANSMIGATRATION" was released in September 1999. It contains different musical genres including the symphonic new age title track: which is devided into three parts and contains a circle of the transmigration of our souls.

In February 2000 the album "BLACK HOLE" came out. It features a concept album about prison and songs like the powerful "Motherf*" and "Big B", the psychedelic and progressive "The Years That Bind" and "Mighty Madman" or the new age / ambient tracks "Black Hole", "Black Hole (reprise)" or "Changing Worlds".

"GALAXY" has been available since August 2000. It contains several songs in a spacy and new age style (e.g. "Through a Luminous Galaxy" or "Final Achievement") besides progressive rock-like "Spiral Nebula" or the blues-influenced "Unbearable Emptyness".

"LANDSCAPE" is a concept album about earth, nature and seasons with songs like the dreamy "Windward", the moody "Continuous Flow", the melancholic "Adagio" or the epic title track "Landscape".

Considering the different genres in the first four albums of Poegs, there are two sampler-CDs out now. One is called "THE NEW FROGRESSIVE AGE SAMPLER" and contains the new age, easy listening and ambient songs. "THE FROGRESSIVE ROCK SAMPLER" features the ProgRock and psychedelic tracks!

The new album of Poegs is called "IN SOMNIUS". This CD creates a journey through our dreams and visions with electronic, guitar and piano-dominated easy listening and new age. Listen to great relaxing and meditative tracks like "Timeless", "Far Away" or "Recollect", to spacy ambient songs like "In Somnius" or "Imagination" and to calm and flowing soft rock pieces like "The Moldau" or "The Spheres Beneath"!
