Mark Jenkins writes: Francis Ford Coppola’s movie ‘Apocalypse Now!’ and the Joseph Conrad novella ‘Heart Of Darkness’ on which it is based have long been favourites. Martin Sheen’s Vietnam war character Willard travels the Cambodian jungle seeking Marlon Brando’s Colonel Kurtz, who has disturbingly “gone native” (the novella, free to read online on the Gutenberg Project, is set earlier, in colonial trading times). On his way Willard encounters a napalm-loving airborne cavalry colonel, a surrealistic bridge to hell, Playboy bunnies and…well, you just need to see the movie.

Vocalist Mark Eins from the German band Din A Testbild long associated with Klaus Schulze takes the part of Kurtz. “My thanks as always to all the brilliant musicians who have helped me depict some of the movie’s many memorable scenes.”

Following the suite of newly released music Mark has added one of his earliest recordings from which only a short extract has previously been available. 'Night Of First Ages' is very much in the style of the widely loved Klaus Schulze epic 'Wahnfried 1883', using mainly a Welson Stereo Symphony string keyboard and his early Moog Sonic 6 synthesizer which, almost fifty years later, also survives to appear on Track 3.

"We could not understand because we were too far and could not remember because we were travelling in the night of first ages, of those ages that are gone, leaving hardly a sign—and no memories."
Joseph Conrad, ‘Heart Of Darkness’ - 1899

‘Modular Sessions 29-Apocalypse Mow! is released on 27th October 2026.
