Laser Days E.P.

by Lotek Style

supported by

David Rotenburger This is a powerful force of retro synth that stuns and stimulates the imagination! Robots, video games, space age adventures, and futuristic disco brought back to the 80's are just a few ideas and themes that this glorious album brings to mind! Daft Punk on steroids! Favorite track: Analogue.

2.	Analogue 05:15	lyrics	buy track
I loved the rain... back then made me forget... my pain rewind your songs... again analogue - that's how we've been Nostalgia overloaded brain brings back these memories again these are the places where we've been analogue - without machines My fading memory remains a non-existent love romance returning home for one more chance analogue - when we had dreams (c) 2018 Stefan Benz
3.	Laser Days 06:32	lyrics	buy track
[prologue] Synthwave expresses nostalgia for 1980s culture, attempting to capture the era's atmosphere and celebrate it. It's not back to the 80s. We continue the 80s. [1] Those were different times but for me they live on when I loved the rain and when we were young On epic summer days our life was light-hearted we gave our love away during the laser days [Refr.] laser days when we lived fast laser days deep in the past [2] Back then we were un-digital that's how we've been in my neon teenage dreams she was my bliss machine her presence lighted up my life she was an eighties queen I looked into her eyes during the laser days [Refr.] laser days when we lived fast laser days deep in the past [3] Now we have different aims tryin' to relive our dreams capturing the eighties feeling to praise and celebrate it but just like everything they had to come to an end we went our separate ways after the laser days [Refr.] laser days when we lived fast laser days deep in the past (c) 2018 Stefan Benz
4.	Marina's Eyes (Extended 12" Maxi Version) 05:41	lyrics	buy track
Back in those days... I didn't close my eyes to sleep... I built my dreams around you... because... you're the engine of my fantasy machine. I was Sonny Crockett and You were Gina Calabrese. ---- I want a time machine for christmas to travel back in time to fix this to tell my younger self all secrets so he can change how the world is Refr.: I looked into Marina's eyes her secret lover in disguise I looked into Marina's eyes Instead of I love you I said goodbye ---- I do regret so many mistakes all the opportunities I missed them what would I give to push on reset? my love for you was always secret Refr.: I looked into Marina's eyes her secret lover in disguise I looked into Marina's eyes Instead of I love you I said goodbye [Synthie-Solo] Refr.: I looked into Marina's eyes her secret lover in disguise I looked into Marina's eyes Instead of I love you I said goodbye I looked into Marina's eyes her secret lover in disguise I looked into Marina's eyes Instead of I love you I said goodbye (c) 2018 Stefan Benz

This release comes 30 years too late, but better late than never.
The whole EP deals a lot with childhood, teenage years, lost love and how indiscribebly heavy I do miss these years which I call the LASER DAYS.

Thanks to Gareth Morris (gwEm) for grammar corrections in the lyrics.
Thanks to Makaem for upgrading vocoder and beatprogramming on 'Laser Days'.
Thanks to Elke for translating the manifesto and a final grammar check.

Huge thanks to -Jo Maddox- for vocal recordings and the final mixdown.

Without you guys this wouldn't have been possible that way.

Synthwave Manifest (german)
-----------------------------------------

2018. Synthwave - mein perfekter Soundtrack für diese Zeit. Ich dachte, bereits alles Wichtige gehört zu haben und dass es nie wieder eine Musikrichtung geben würde, die mich dermaßen mitreißt.

Endlose Nostalgie trifft auf einen Sound, der nahezu maßgeschneidert dafür ist. Potenzierte Sehnsucht nach einer Zeit, die unwiederbringlich ist, die aber durch Synthwave dennoch fortdauert. Die 80'er Jahre gehen kontinuierlich weiter.

It's not back to the 80's. We continue the 80's.

Lotek Style, December 2018.

Synthwave Manifesto (english)
------------------------------------------

2018. Synthwave - my perfect soundtrack for those times. I thought I have heard everything that had been important to me so far and that there could never again be a style of music that would amaze me so much.

Endless nostalgia meets perfectly suited sound. Extreme longing for a time that is irrevocably gone, but perseveres through Synthwave. The 80s keep on going.

It’s not back to the 80s, we continue the 80s.
