In 2005, German electronic music musician Ralf Knappe Heinbockel sadly died. He was only 44. Under the artist name Hemisphere (first solo and later as a duo together with guitarist Thorsten Reinhardt) he was a master in the field of melodical, ambient music, provided with a rhythmic twist and music that is highly appreciated in the ranks of electronic music fans. This is quite right as it always comes with a standard high quality.
In 1992, Ralf’s second album as Hemisphere, "Destination Infinity", was released on the German label Musique Intemporelle. Now, in 2006, Groove Unlimited presents a new version of this early masterwork, remastered by Ron Boots, and with a (dark and gloomy) bonus track "Stars".
During the times of "Destination Infinity", Ralf’s music was a perfect mixture of progressive rhythmic electronic rock and ambient atmospheres. Sometimes, there is still a small hint of musicians like Tangerine Dream, but clearly the distinguished "Hemisphere-sound" can already be heard. A sound that later became renowned and household.
Great and warm ambient pieces like "Deep Cut", "Moments Of Darkness", the title track and "Final Memories" prove that. Sequences also play a part in the music: "Turing Point", "Exiting Impression" and "Tales Of The Backside" are fine examples of this.
"Destination Infinity" is one of the many highlights in the career of Ralf Knappe Heinbockel.
Hemisphere: a name that has to be remembered.
