MAKiNA GiRGiR - Vie Absurde

Lyrics: 

Darkness holds a secret
Unseen by human eye
Deep into the wastelands
Another spectral kind

The skies are burning red
The sun is bloody bright
But soon the dark will fall
Its time to raise your knife

Darkness weaves a passage
Into the other side
Another vivid nightmare
A gruesome cold disguise

The night is drawing near
The moon is rising high
Your mortal dreams now buried
Your heart filled by fright

Ferdinand Cärclash & KriistalAnn - Vivid Nightmare

DAF's "Als wär's das letzte mal" is one of our favourite tracks ever. Just pure perfection from Robert and Gabi. We got approached by Contubernio Records that wanted to release a CD with Covers from different bands. 

And we decided to cover this great track. Funnily enough, we realised that the lyrics from this DAF classic are very similar (inspired) by a classic song by Spanish singer Sara Montiel (Bésame Mucho). We took both inspirations and created this cover that somehow brings something new.

Beta Evers: One evening in fall 2015 I suddenly had a melody in my mind. I did not want to forget it, went to my equipment, created sounds and arranged a raw version. I wanted to add lyrics in German language and started to search for classic poems. I read Goethe, Hölderlin, Heine, but then I found that poem of Stefan George (from his book "Der siebente Ring", 1907) and was fond of it. I recorded the vocals and sent everything to Jeff, who worked out the arrangement further.

Jeff Gallea: Black Pond had developed into an amazing project. Beta and I wanted to have something a bit different for a 4th song. She had some great synth lines and German poem worked into a song idea. The energy was intense so the beats and sounds got harder and faster. The result was a dance floor banger with an industrial edge to it. I placed bass guitar lines between her vocal lines and really loved the effect. Unfortunately I don't speak German so I had no idea what she was singing! I just went with the feel of her voice.

Mitosis 
Two mutants
2018

Salvaje, fiera, ruda, animal, inmoral, natural
mirame asi
pintate asi
violeta, gris, rojo carmin 
sensual en ti, mi ser sin mi
crucificame en ti
excomulgame en ti...

mi microchip, mi conexión, mi cybergirl
clikea en mi
teclea en mi
mi microchip, mi conexión, mi cybergirl
navega por mi
edita en mi
formateame...

ojos noche, luna sin dios, labios carmin
desnuda mi alma 
abstrae mis formas
te vendo mi alma
hazme parte de ti, muta en mi
mitosis

clikea en mi
teclea en mi
get in me...

Year 1983 - Perfect High by Peppermint Lounge

We have posted here more than 450, mostly classic era, minimal synth tracks, much of this on cassette, with the odd contemporary gemm when necessary. A sprinkling of synthpop, italo and experimental thrown in just because.

Generally just one or two tracks per artist, with the aim of buidling as broad as possible repository of minimalsynth bands/artists and to avoid bulk uploads of any one artist. 

Enjoy. Go buy the reissues. 

Buy from the artists on bandcamp.
