STREAM: Apparat Says "Goodbye" Without Words

You'll love this instrumental version so much, you'll want to put a (Sascha) Ring on it! (Sorry...)

For anyone with a earholes and the faintest echoing of a heartbeat, Apparat's latest and arguably most inspired release, The Devil's Walk, is a special brand of soul-crushing: Cheat-on-your-sig-other-and-reveal-it-in-a-messy-earth-shattering-way-just-so-that-you-can-play-the-album-in-your-head-over-the-course-of-the-explosive-breakup-and-following-period-of-self-loathing-and-depression kind of soul-crushing.

But what's even more amazing than how much German electro-composer Sascha Ring can say in a single, beautifully seamless album is how much he can say in a single, expertly constructed instrumental track.

Showcasing his unparalleled production skills, Ring has stripped the reverb-laden vocals off of one of The Devil's Walk's most emotive and pivotal tracks, "Goodbye", resulting in a song that flows, builds, and breathes with a life all its own. Sometimes, Apparat speaks louder than words.
