Silverware – The Best of EUREKA 1997-2010 is the title of the first compilation in the 13-year history of Frank Bossert's project EUREKA. „I simply had the feeling the time had come to look back, facing the whole thing. After the first four albums a chapter for EUREKA is closing, and I wanted to celebrate accordingly”, the musician states, having made this best-of compilation of EUREKA songs until 2010 into a little treasure chest.

The title Silverware represents the things which are here to stay - the family treasure. So it seemed appropriate to wrap it into a treasure chest, as the cover suggests. Frank Bossert has put a lot of effort into this retrospective: a 20-page booklet visually guides the listener through EUREKA 's history, for each title there's a little story giving background information.

In order to offer his fans some new music along with the best-of, the multi-instrumentalist has re-recorded three of the fourteen titles and put a new song at the beginning. So these previously unreleased titles turn this best-of compilation into a real must-have.

After a long time, the new song ‘Solid Ground' features Bossert back on the microphone again. “After working with many different vocalists on past EUREKA recordings, I felt like singing a song by myself again.” For the choir parts Frank found support in KALEMA, a female vocal trio already featured on the highly acclaimed Shackleton's Voyage concept album in 2009. The trio based around vocalist Martje Johannsen refined the new song with stunning vocal passages reminding a bit of early Pink Floyd classics. “This was our second collaboration within EUREKA , and I must admit that I'm floored every time these girls present their final arrangements to me.”

Collaboration with artists from all over the world has become a cornerstone in the work of Husum-based Frank Bossert. Nearly twenty guest musicians can be found on his CD releases, among them not only well-known German artists like RPWL's Yogi Lang, but also internationally acclaimed artists like Billy Sherwood of YES and Troy Donockley, who has formerly worked with NIGHTWISH.

Self-released in 1997, the debut album Eureka marked the path for a project that has earned lots of praise by international press and whose releases have found a solid worldwide group of followers.

They say you have to find something you can't live without – Frank Bossert has found it in EUREKA!
