What a good "Thrust" mission through outer space!...Dig that diminishing spatial FX sound coda! I'd say it's been a victorious engineering! <3 <3 <3 >>>

TESTO

Volevo festeggiare con te
Ma mi accontenterò del vino
Sono passato da noi e ho preso già quel che avevo
Ma non mi ricordavo di un posto cosi vuoto
Qua ci son fogli che non san di niente,
Contratti dell‘Iren
Ed il tuo calendario
Con le frasi fatte di 365 giorni di felicità
E qualche peluche che ho nascosto nell’armadio
Ma come sempre ti ho lasciato un’anta aperta
E di sette anni non c’è
Non c'è già più una traccia
Basta poco ad abituarsi
Ad amarsi
E a svegliarsi con tutta un'altra faccia
La faccia di chi è lontano
Con una maniglia nella mano
Con una maniglia nella mano
E devo far presto a non lasciare traccia
Devo lasciarti le chiavi nella posta
Devo riuscire a chiudermi la porta alle spalle
A pensare che non c’è niente
Di eternamente stabile
Nessuna colpa da distribuire
Nessun ritorno in gran stile
Bisogna ripartire
Al primo vero litigio siamo affondati
È uscito tutto in una sera
Perché i non detti son rimasti tali
Ah, dimenticavo la tua borsa nera
E questa vecchia casa ormai sa di galera

LYRICS

I wanted to celebrate with you
But I'll settle for the wine
I passed by our place, and I've already taken what I had
But I didn't remember a place so empty

Here, there are papers that don't smell of anything
Contracts from the water company
And your calendar
With the clichéd phrases of 365 days of happiness

And some stuffed animals that I've hidden in the closet
But as always, I've left a door ajar for you

And there are no traces left of seven years
There's already no trace
It doesn't take much to get used
To loving each other
And waking up with a completely different face
The face of someone far away
With a doorknob in their hand
With a doorknob in their hand

And I have to be quick not to leave a trace
I have to leave the keys in the mailbox for you
I have to manage to close the door behind me
To think that there's nothing
Eternally stable

No blame to distribute,
No grand return.
We have to start over

At the first real argument, we've sunk
Everything came out in one evening
Because the unsaid things remained that way

Oh, I forgot your black purse

And this old house now smells like prison

Bonus track from the new album: Blink Twice - Other Locations [Expanded Edition]

https://moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/blink-twice-other-locations-expanded-edition

Other Locations was originally released in 1996 on the German record label Broken Seal. It was the first CD release from Blink Twice and the label's second release.
At the time there was a zine culture in electronic music, where artists would send their cassettes through the mail to different underground music zines for review across the globe. It was really the only way to get one's music heard.
After putting out numerous cassettes in the early to mid 1990s, Blink Twice had earned a reputation as a unique dark ambient artist in America.

The dark mysterious sound of Blink Twice resonated in European countries, with favorable reviews in the Slovakian zine Crewzine, the Belgian leading electronic magazine Side-Line, Phosphor, and Wounded magazine from Lithuania. Blink Twice was also featured in American industrial magazines Outburn and Industrial Nation, as well as sonic-boom
sonic-boom.com/review/blink.twice-1.html

The sound of Blink Twice earned comparisons to artists like early Delerium, Dead Can Dance, Nightmare Lodge, SPK, and some of the Cold Meat Industry roster from Sweden such as Raison d'etre, Morthound, and Deustch Nepal. Although generally classified under the genre of "dark ambient", Blink Twice utilized much more melody and percussion than most ambient. Many tracks display the melodic layering and tribal percussion that are showcased in some current Mood Exhibit material.

"Other Locations" is finally available here on the Mood Exhibit Bandcamp page, Robert Salchak's official distribution for all his music.
It includes a large selection of bonus material from the era (1993-1996) that was either never released or only available on cassette.

Hidden as the last track is an epic nearly 15 minute tribal ambient excursion that can only be described as Dead Can Dance era Spiritchaser" (1996) meets Delerium era "Spheres I"(1994)

It is an essential historic document for followers of Mood Exhibit, as well as any fan of dark ambient/neoclassical/tribal/cinematic sounds.

My music adventure started in 1996 on Amiga Demoscene, where I was active until 2004. I had the opportunity to be there, on the real DemoParties and CopyParties :-) where I used to compete in MOD and XM Tracker Music.
