a spasm of sprung hair / I can see an amiable grey in the teeth / her hand comes down, rests gently on me / I detect something of a need / she says don't call my squares pretty / or say the same of my circles of duty / yes, it's a lovely space / if four white walls they make a lovely space / looks like we've already run out of things to say / meaning must be created if good books are to be believed / emptiness must be filled / even in spoiled rats like me / you were just a chicken bone in a science coat when I had fair hair / now we both live alone and you want to meet up for what god only knows / and what your friends can only suspect / meaning must be created if good books are to be believed / emptiness must be filled even in spoiled rats with growing bones under grey suit coats / ink in the hair / meaning wasn't created, just given back then / now it all seems to hang by a hair / and the memory of a herring bone in a painter's coat / clipboard and pen / your friend was living alone I bet, and I see she's dying the death of a thousand cigarettes

From the album opener to the closing, you experience what I shall henceforth call GALACTIC synthwave due to its powerful sweeping analog synthesizer melodies, its thick meaty rhythms (no rinkydink sounding drum machines here), its fat, cosmic arpeggios, and of course its sometimes death-defying musical chord choices (listen to "New Beginnings"). Sonically expansive. Loud and conquering. Lovingly assembled. Beautifully produced. Lionel Valdellon (Acid42)
