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.

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.
