    DEEP HORIZON is a retrospective double CD containing 27 songs selected from the 9 CDs that Phil Shoenfelt recorded between 1990 and 2002, and is released on the German label Phantasmagoria.
    Phil is an English musician/singer/songwriter who now lives in Prague, Czech Republic. He is a veteran of the UK and New York punk and post-punk scenes, and during the early and mid 1980’s was the frontman and principal songwriter for the New York band Khmer Rouge. In the five years the band was together, Khmer Rouge was a favourite on the New York club scene and also went on tour in the USA to support such acts as The Clash, Tom Verlaine, Alan Vega and Billy Idol. Returning to the UK in 1984, the band did two UK tours with The Fall before finally splitting in 1986.

    Phil then began his solo career, and his first single was released on Mark E. Smith’s Cog Sinister label in 1989. A solo support slot with The Fall followed, as well as several concerts supporting Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds on UK tours in 1990 and 1991. Two solo CDs were released on UK independent labels (some of these songs are included on Deep Horizon) before Phil relocated to Prague in 1995 for personal reasons.

    Since moving to Prague, Phil has played with his own band, SOUTHERN CROSS, as well as the Berlin-based group FATAL SHORE. Three CDs have been recorded with Southern Cross and two CDs with Fatal Shore, and both bands have toured extensively in Europe. What they have in common is a commitment to strong songwriting and live performance, and Phil’s music reflects influences as diverse as Punk, Noise Music, Blues, Rock, Folk and classic songwriters such as Leonard Cohen and Lee Hazlewood.

    DEEP HORIZON is a look back through the years to the vanishing point of late 1980’s independent music. It reflects a tradition of independent artists struggling against the blandness of contemporary mainstream music, and shows that purity of expression and excellence are qualities of commitment, not only of money.
