DICE -​ His­to­ry

In 1974 Chris­tian Nóvé found­ed the pro­gres­sive rock band DICE in Güter­sloh/West-​Ger­many.

Its first LP has been re­leased in 1979, with Mu­si­cians than Al­to Pap­pert (ex-​Kraan) und George Kochbeck (ex Joachim Kühn-​Band).

Four years lat­er, in 1983, "Live-​DICE" came out which is al­so avail­able as pic­ture disc. This al­bum is now rare and ap­pre­ci­at­ed a lot by col­lec­tors and sold at the high­est price. Both LPs can be found in rar­i­ty cat­a­logues.

In the ear­ly 1990ies DICE has been re­found­ed as a live-​band in Leipzig/East-​Ger­many. Since 1997 the band re­leas­es a long­track-​CD ev­ery year, is re­viewed in mu­sic mag­a­zines world­wide and is there­fore an in­te­gral part in the Pro­gres­sive Rock scene to­day.

2003 marked an­oth­er mile­stone in the bands his­to­ry: DICE pub­lished "Cos­mic-​Prog Live", a Live-​CD, and the bands first DVD "Cos­mic-​Prog in Con­cert" -​-​ both fea­tur­ing the biggest con­cert in the bands his­to­ry so far live at the The­atron Musik­som­mer-​Fes­ti­val in Mu­nich for more than 3000 fans. Nowa­days, the band cel­e­brates its 13th al­bum "With­in vs. With­out -​-​ Next Part", re­leased in 2007.

Re-​is­sued, all al­bums are now avail­able as CD, pub­lished by the la­bel ,Scene Records' -​ they call their sound "COS­MIC-​PROG".
