We Are Magonia - Synthwave Is Dead (JNNY COBRA Remix)

“Forgotten Future 2” is the soundtrack to a modern legacy sequel of a 1980’s sci-fi movie that doesn’t actually exist. A cinematic score that combines modern drum’n’bass rhythms with nostalgic 1980s sound design and melody. This enigmatic combination sends the listener on a bass heavy and neon-soaked adventure through space, time, and sound.

This is the story of 2 rogue scientists on a space travelling adventure to save mankind…err, wait, this seems familiar, haven’t we seen this before? Rewind.

Somehow Dr. Mantis Quade survived the VECTORWOLF attack of 1988. He retreated to Venus where he spent the following decades rebuilding his galactic empire. He maintains a totalitarian control through a sentient A.I. known as the Hypervisor which has society locked into an algorithm grid of mindless servitude. This A.I. is housed in a virtual cyberspace known as The Battle Program. Despite this, Quaid is left unfulfilled and wants his old life back. He plans to build a time travel machine that will enable him to return to 1988, rewrite history, restore his beloved original empire, and reconnect with his lost love, Syntrina, an android, who unbeknownst to him is a double agent. In reality, this is an extremely risky endeavor that will likely cause the destruction of the universe.

To power his time travel device, Quaid will need to amass a large quantity of one of the universe’s most powerful resources, Nostalgia Crystals. Quaid’s chosen base, the planet Venus, just happens to be home to the largest Nostalgia mines in the known galaxy.

Our heroes from the last story, the 2 rogue scientists, have spent this time under the control of the Hypervisor and have grown jaded and disillusioned. Thankfully, Syntrina underwent a stealth mission to enter The Battle Program and untether them from the algorithm grid and alert them to Quaid’s potentially catastrophic plan. Unfortunately, their key weapon, the mysterious and immensely powerful “VECTORWOLF” device was badly damaged during the first attack on Quaid back in 1988. To repair this device, the rogue scientists will also need to get their hands on some Nostalgia Crystals. They must travel to Venus and infiltrate Quaid’s base and its Nostalgia mines. Once the weapon is repowered, our heroes can use it to unleash an oscillating wave beam that will annihilate Quaid and his empire once and for all.

Can our heroes mine enough Nostalgia to save mankind, again?

【The Fog Had Cleared Up】紹介文

Born in 1994, from Tokyo, a professional jazz pianist Hibiki Ueda who majored in jazz composition at Queens College Aaron Copoland School of Muisc in New York City, played an excellent 1st album ♪

The warmth and tenderness of the melody and the development of the music, which seemed to remind people of Pat Messany, were felt without any problems, and the composition sense conveys the extraordinary talent as an artist. The content is wonderful as if it were coming.

Shiori Sasaki (Participated in the works of Yuji Ohno including Lupine III while attending Senzoku Gakuen College of Music, and since then has been active as a vocalist while participating in live performances and recordings as a chorus of various artists such as Yumi Matsutoya, Yosui Inoue, and KinKi Kids. The album title songs M2 "The Fog Had Cleared Up" and M7 "Noticed" with) as vocals are pop, jazzy and electronic that fully utilize the voice quality of Shiori Sasaki's relaxed and unrelenting taste. A number that is very appealing to the balance.

M5 "Voyage" and M6 "Guns And Child" are outstanding songs that can be said to be the heart of this album, and "Voyage" is the radiance and exhilaration as if a ship sailing down the harbor at sunrise heads for a voyage. "Guns And Child" is a song that captures the hope and contradiction of the world with the artist's piano and ensemble, which is beautiful but ephemeral, but has a strong desire to move forward.

And M9 "Meaning of Freedom" is a song that quotes Rev. King's speech on the declaration of liberation of black slaves, and it is one of the artist's concepts, "I want to take some action on society in making sound". It is expressed by a danceable jazzy track with intonation.

The birth of a masterpiece that will be handed down later as "Hibiki Ueda's 1st album".

1994年生まれ東京都出身、ニューヨーク市立Queens College Aaron Copoland School of Muiscにてジャズ作曲を専攻したプロのジャズピアニストHibiki Uedaによる、緻密かつ優雅に奏でられた秀逸１stアルバム♪

まるでパット・メサニーを思い起こさせるかのような人の耳に残るぬくもりと優しさに満ちたメロディーや楽曲展開があます事なく感じられ、その作曲センスにはアーティストとしての非凡な才能がひしひしと伝わってくるかのような素晴らしい内容になっている。

佐々木詩織（洗足学園音楽大学在学中よりルパン三世をはじめとする大野雄二作品に参加、以降松任谷由実や井上陽水、KinKi Kidsなど様々なアーティストのコーラスとしてライブやレコーディングに参加しつつ自身でもボーカリストとして活動）をボーカルに迎えたアルバムタイトル曲のM2「The Fog Had Cleared Up」及びM7「Noticed」は、佐々木詩織の伸びやかでほっておけないテイストの声質を十二分に生かしたポップでジャジーかつエレクトロニックなバランスがとても心惹かれるナンバー。

M5「Voyage」とM6「Guns And Child」は本アルバムの心臓部とでも言える抜群の楽曲、「Voyage」は朝焼けの港を帆を下ろした船が航海に向かっていくかのような晴れやかさと高揚感が感じ取れ、「Guns And Child」は世の中の希望と矛盾をアーティストのピアノとアンサンブルで美しくも儚いけれど前を向いて進みたいという強い意思が汲み取れる楽曲に仕上がっている。

そしてM9「Meaning of Freedom」はキング牧師による黒人の奴隷解放宣言の演説を引用した楽曲でアーティストのコンセプトの１つでもある《音を作る上で社会に対して何らかのアクションを起こしたい》という気持ちを抑揚を効かせたダンサブルなジャジートラックで表現している。

後に「Hibiki Uedaの1stアルバム」と語り継がれるであろう名作の誕生。
