Skylines
Release Date: February 12, 2016
© 2016 Keith Richie

Skylines is a cinematic electronic journey that explores the architecture of sound through a global lens—an immersive album inspired by the skylines of iconic cities around the world.

Blending elements of electronic rock, synthwave, and dark synthpop, composer Keith Richie crafts an atmospheric tribute to nine cities—each track echoing the energy, emotion, and identity of its urban muse. From the rainy pulse of “Seattle Walk” to the neon-tinted melancholy of “Goodbye Dubai” and the chaotic haze of “Lost in Beijing,” Skylines invites listeners to travel without moving.

This isn’t just a sonic travelogue—it’s a fusion of geography and emotion. Each composition evokes the sensation of standing beneath towering structures, feeling the movement of life around you, and absorbing the invisible rhythm of the city itself.

The album features exclusive versions of fan-favorite singles including “Seattle Walk,” “Lost in Beijing,” and “Goodbye Dubai,” all reimagined as part of a cohesive global experience.

Whether you're drawn to lush synthesizer textures or inspired by the spirit of travel, Skylines offers a powerful soundscape that stretches across continents—and deep into the imagination.

Celestial Motions

Look at the blue line of the Vosges
Enemy from the East
Look at the blue Cayenne Porsche
Melody of the beast

And you open your arms
And you open your heard
You’d like to leave the scene to go to 
The kingdom of secrets
And you open your arms
And you open your heard
You’d like to leave the scene to go to

The kingdom of secrets
A kingdom not made of love 
To the kingdom of secrets
A kingdom not made of love

Sit down at the king’s table drinking
Poison from the east
Lie down in the king’s bedroom giving
Pleasure to the beast

And you arch your back
And you open your legs
You’d like to leave the scene to go to 
The kingdom of secrets
And you arch your back
And you open your legs
You’d like to leave the scene to go to

The kingdom of secrets
A kingdom not made of love
To the kingdom of secrets
A kingdom not made of love (X3)

It’s still time to change your mind
Close your eyes, don’t be blind
Beast beauty will loose your mind

Sing sing, the music’s fine
It’s still time to change your mind
Close your eyes, don’t be blind
Beast beauty will loose your mind (X3)

Close to Robert

I tried to post the lyrics but soundcloud isn’t letting me :/

Your Thoughts Are Dangerous

Les enfants pas sages
A l'âge des retournements
S'en vont dans la chambre des parents 
Le lit est plus grand
Ils se foutent de l'avenir
Et des peine à jouir
Ils tournent les pages
Font le ménage dans les ménages
Les enfants pas sages
A l'âge des détournements 
Ont fait des ravages
Au pays des indifférents
Le lion dans sa cage
N'a pas compris le message 
Il est fait comme un rat
Il ne s'en sortira pas

Les enfants pas sages
