12 years after the formation of one of Germany's most successful art rock bands the Freising quintet RPWL takes its first shot at a concept album.

Beyond Man And Time is a musical journey through the world outside of Platon's cave. On March 13th in North America and on March 9th in Europe, the record will be released in a standard version as well as an exclusive bonus edition that includes an audio book. The record will also be presented live across Europe in April 2012.

In addition to the regular version of the album there will also be a bonus edition limited of 2,000 copies. This exclusive edition includes an additional audio book that connects the music even more closely to the philosophical approach, plus a topographic map of the new world that is to be explored.

Also, RPWL listeners are to be given a special live experience: audiences will be introduced to the record on an extensive European tour in April 2012.
