Apparatjik started as a one-project band whose members are Magne F, Martin Terefe, Jonas Bjerre from Mew and Guy Berryman from Coldplay. The project is a soundtrack for the Bruce Perry 'Amazon' television series which is airing in the UK on Monday nights at 9pm on BBC. There are a lot of other great songs on the album, the sale of which will benefit Survival International.
The album is called 'Songs for Survival' and it has been digitally released on iTunes and Play.com; on Monday October 13, 2008 the CD was released to stores in the UK, including HMV, Zawi and Fopp. You can also order it from Amazon.
It is possible there will be more music from Apparatjik, but nothing official has been announced yet. See also:
