10) Vega is a Melodic Rock band featuring former Kick vocalist Nick Workman and guitarist Marcus Thurston. They released “Battlelines” , their eight studio album overall, in 2023.
11) VEGA were one of several Andalusian and Spanish bands who flourished in the mid- to late seventies by making music that blended flamenco, folk and jazz at times with English progressive tendencies, often resulting in a colorful and rich fusion sound. Acts like TRIANA, CAI, MEZQUITA and AZAHAR would establish themselves as the preeminent players on these scenes, along with the more contemporary counterparts like LOS CANARIOS and ALAMEDA.
12) VEGA was a German hip-hop duo that released the single Ich chille in 1999.
In this vein VEGA combined Andalusian instrumentation (and sometimes traditional arrangements) with a less well-defined progressive bent, emphasizing instead a heavy flamenco influence and the showcased guitar work of band leader Tómas Vega. Vega had been a member of the earlier Spanish band LOS GRIMMS, and would also, along with bandmate Jorge Pardo, lend his name to a couple DOLORES (Pedro Ruy Blas) records in the same timeframe.
The group released three albums in three years, each accompanied by one single. The first two are heavily imbued with flamenco-driven fusion compositions, while the final release 'Sol de Oscuridad' seemed to be more intended as an attempt at commercial success with vocals and repetitive, less original arrangements. The band was already in its death throes by the time the third album released.
VEGA were a minor player in an ample line of Spanish and Andalusian prog bands of the seventies and eighties. While their contributions don't generally rank among the greatest acts of that segment, they are worthy of recognition and inclusion in these ProgAcrhives.

13) VEGA is a three-piece heavy stoner rock band hailing from the 'VEGA' star. They traveled the interstellar star-ways of the multiverse in their dark matter-fueled VEGA-van, intent on spreading their riff to passing planets. Lights years into their journey they happened upon a planet that caught their attention: this planet was unlike any of the other desolate and in some cases, down right primitive planets they had visited since they started their galactic tour. This planet was Earth and they found it akin to their homeland; such as it was cut from the same great cosmic cake as VEGA. It had majestic mountains, vast oceans, extreme deserts, beautiful flowered plains, and industrialized modern cities. All Earth's inhabitants, from intelligent lifeforms to basic single-celled organisms, were identical to VEGA-ns and lived indistinguishable lifestyles and had similar habits to the people of their home-star. Earth even had music: just like VEGA. VEGA decided to stay on this strangely familiar, yet completely foreign sister-planet and lay down their sweet-star riffs as ambassadors to their beloved VEGA.

So weit weg
Vega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ich stand vermummt in den Straßen deiner Stadt
War so weit weg von einem Plan im Kopf wie′s weitergeht
Wird kein leichter Weg, doch ich bleib da stehen
Bleib bei dir wenn dis Licht fällt
Denn nur bei dir bin ich ich selbst
So weit weg von der Lebenszeit im Sandkasten
Und ich hass' wenn Rapper gegenseitig anfassen
Und Jo, ich denk an deine Kleine daheim
Und Punch, denk an deine Kleine daheim
Es gibt nichts wichtigeres gerade, und du weißt was ich mein
So weit weg von diesen Speed-Packs im Anorak
Seh′s noch oft aber zieh's net in all den Pubs
Doch wenn ich schreib ist perfekt
Seh die Szene und ich merk ich bin so weit von euch weg
Und bei jeder Zeile die ich schreibe zieht der Wind durch die Stadt
Ich seh sie laufen diese Kinder der Nacht
Sind zusammen, doch alleine im Herz
Gehen raus und sie meinen es ernst
Ihr seid so weit weg von all dem Brüder sein und Harzblunts
Prügeleien am Parkplatz, Lügereien und Staatshass
Sind zusammen doch alleine im Herz
Stehen auf und wir meinen es ernst
Wir sind so weit weg!
Denn früher wollt ich euern Scheißrap kaputtschlagen
Heute bin ich eine eigene Schublade
Nur meine Leute, dis is ehrlich für mich
Sagen die Wahrheit, es gibt nix was noch gefährlicher is
Und wer siegt wird der Tod zeigen
Dieser Tisch hier is voll Bruder
Ich hab ein Team mit dem ich Brot teile
So weit weg von dem Palaber und Beef
Ihr seid Gangster in der Booth, doch auf der Straße is G
So weit weg von all den Steinen auf die Polizei
Denk noch immer ihr seid Schweine, doch das soll so sein
Und ich halt mich zurück
Ich will nur, dass zuhause Autos brennen, falls ihr mich kriegt
So weit weg von dir, Bruder du fehlst
Komm nach Hause, alle hoffen dir geht's gut wo du lebst
Nehm den Stift und wenn ich schreib is perfekt
Seh die Szene und ich merke ich bin so weit von euch weg
In "So weit weg," Vega expresses his detachment from the mainstream rap scene and his commitment to staying true to himself and his own artistic vision. He feels removed from the party culture of clubs and instead finds himself standing anonymously in the streets of a city, contemplating his future. Despite the uncertain road ahead, he is determined to stay put and stick by those who matter most to him. He reminisces about his childhood and the carefree days spent in the sandbox, and he expresses frustration with the superficiality of the rap industry, particularly the trend of rappers showing off for each other. Instead, Vega focuses on the real world and what truly matters, namely, relationships with loved ones and the power of music to connect with people from all walks of life.
Throughout the song, Vega emphasizes his outsider status, both within the rap scene and in society at large. He feels that he and his fellow late-night wanderers are isolated from the mainstream world, living a life that is simultaneously free and lonely. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for something more, a sense that Vega and his comrades are searching for a place to belong. In the end, however, Vega finds solace in his creative endeavors, taking comfort in the fact that even if he is far from everyone else, he is still able to connect with them through his music.
