EX CATHEDRA - Remembering the 1980s, reminiscing about the technology of the decade, and introducing 'The Voice', who offers his thoughts on the best decade. JUPITER STYLE - Roland Corporation has just released their flagship for the 80s, the Jupiter-8 Synthesizer. One user reflects on how it's changed him. IT'S SUPERCHARGED! - You're led to the back of a garage, you tear the tarp off a hidden vehicle, revealing the shiny, noisy supercar - and it's supercharged. LET'S DO IT - In gritty Hell's Kitchen NYC in 1982, you stumble upon children walking through water hydrants, the teens listening to radio broadcasts of the Yankees game, and in the middle of it, a man dancing on the sidewalk. DON'T LOOK BACK - A song about a retro synthwave producer being unsure if part of his new track falls within the "guidelines" of creating 80's sounding retro synthwave music (use of a stutter effect), but continuing on with that part of the track despite a possible perceived lack of authenticity. OWN THE ROAD - Parents getting in your hair? Siblings driving you crazy? Had an Algebra test go bad? Cut away and go for a drive with that special someone. SAFRAN - Dedicated to Scott Safran, who set the Asteroids high score in 1982, at the height of the game's popularity. Nobody could locate him through the 90's, with news finally surfacing in 2002. It was discovered that in 1989, he was killed after falling from his apartment balcony while trying to rescue his cat, Samson. ARCADE COWBOY - A truck-driving man from Texas reminisces passionately on his memories of the 80's gaming scene. CHASING EMOTIONS - A fine dinner, eyes connecting, wondering how far you'll get, trying to figure out how far she's willing to go... SOME DREAMS NEVER DIE - A relationship that has lasted the better part of the 80's has run its course, and with the forthcoming decade change, Jackie just wants to go back to the old days, to stay in the 80's forever. "Some Dreams Never Die" Lyrics: We started in love in '82 After school at the arcade With Pac man glowing and an ocean view You said this wouldn't fade When it comes to you and I Some dreams never die In '86 you got the Firebird Trans Am You were Top Gun sexy, and a free soul Breakdancing, roller skating and listening to Wham Day after day, we were steady, in cruise control When it comes to you and I Some dreams never die And now the 90's are coming and you've changed You don't care, you're distant and that's fine Life and love and feelings rearranged Can't we just stay in 1989? When it comes to you and I Some dreams never die released 06 October 2014 Production: J.
