This is probably my absolute favorite on the album. <3

Great vocals and fab energy. Takes me back.

Nice blend of mid 90s sounding synthpop and today's synthwave. Very catchy!  Truly talented

AMAZING SONG MAKE MORE LIKE THIS DAMM I LIVE RETRO 80S MUZIC

Did someone ask for a SENTINEL montage? The twilight hour dawns, the hour of fate approaches, and our hero will have to make his choice and fight to the death.

Lyrics: 

Verse 1:

I saw you standing there without an explanation.
You say that you don’t care about my disposition.
Well I’ve got news for you; I’m taking back what’s mine!
‘just one thing left to do: I think that it is 
time to face the rain again as I stand all alone
No need to face the pain again; I’ll make it on my own


Chorus:

I start all the fires tonight as you wander in aimless flight.
You’re convinced that you were right while I ignite the skies tonight
‘Cause I’m back in the saddle, back in control.
You’re mad cause your love doesn’t matter it’s getting old.
You’re sad cause I’m back in the saddle back in control.
You’re mad cause your love doesn’t count, despite what you’re told.

Verse 2:

The task is now at hand to stand up and defy you.
You’re doing all you can to make sure I don’t get through.
Well I’ve got news for you; you’re running out of time!
‘just one thing left to do: I think that it is time
to face the hate again as I tear down your throne
… and if you try to lead the way, I’ll have to go alone.

Back in the Saddle

Electronic producer d.notive has been at the forefront innovative sound design for well over a decade. Entranced by the lush and dynamic soundscapes of the 1980's, his aesthetic borrows heavily from the cinematic imagery of Neo-noir, classic alternative music, and of course synthpop.

Leveraging a rich, illustrious backdrop of classic synthesizers, his work includes countless pop songs and dance tracks, video game soundtracks, cartoon fan music, and film scores, drawing comparisons to artists like Depeche Mode, New Order, and Duran Duran.

His critically acclaimed album Sentinel has enjoyed consistent rotation thanks to synthwave outlets like NewRetroWave, with the first single "Red Light Syndrome" debuting at the #7 spot on their weekly charts. He has also been a regular collaborator with FiXT records, appearing alongside artists Cassetter, Fury Weekend, and Scandroid. Additionally, he maintains a close relationship with Funky Way Records (the official label of Funky Panda,) and Laserdiscs Records as a noted contributor to the original soundtrack for UK-based independent film "The Summoner." 

His signature vocal style even earned him a leading role in a short animation by Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss animator Vivienne "Vivziepop" Medrano.

"...d.notive’s music is all bound by an energy that is completely entrancing..."
