Retronic Voice - Awakening (album review from Johan Carlsson):
Sometimes music takes you places. Sometimes it can bring you back to your childhood. In the case of Retronic Voice the music here takes me back to the Summer of 1987 (I think) when I was around 13 years old & basically only listened to Italo Disco and me & my friends used to hang out at the beach at Kallhällsbadet 20 minutes outside of Stockholm. “Best of Italo Disco” compilations from ZYX Records were the pinnacle of coolness at the time, and we used to blast them on our big cassette deck player for everyone to hear. Yeah, I was one of those obnoxious kids.
Anyway, back to the present again. Sort of. Retronic Voice has made a pixel perfect reproduction of the Summer of 1987 where every sound, drum fill and synth melody is a precisely tailored memory of that era. If you like Italo Disco you simply can’t go wrong with “The Awakening”, where the Summer pop goes head to head with the trademark sound of Laserdance – albeit with vocals.
The group consists of German Marco Rochowski and Swede Daniel Petterson and together they’ve made one of my favourite albums of 2012. You see, it’s not just the sound that’s immaculate, they have taken the time to write some good tunes too. There are in total 14 tracks so you might be all italoed out by the end, but they keep it varied and fresh throughout. Even though they have so perfectly recreated a sound from the past, it actually feels like a breath of fresh air because they focus so much on melody and creating good vibes. Check them out.

Retronic Voice - Menace To Society (The Lyrics):
► Show Spoiler
What have you done?
To want to you belong
Is every my so long
It used to play now I know
disappearing you never had
So looking to how staying
and nothing to do…
Your romance menace to society
You’re in for what … seems to be
Your romance menace to the world we see
to damage to record silent … lost your soul
A mystic pale from the begining of your time…
All of you… too late
to say «I'm sorry» to the people you hate
so looking to now staring
lost your goal
lost your home
Retronic Voice - Real People (The Lyrics):
► Show Spoiler
Some say life's in vain if no one comes at hand
I don't mind living on my own in secret land
Shady rumours we must try to live each others way
You should hear to the ones who don't mind others say every day
They are the real people they don't care about material things
They don't care if you are rich or poor looking good for more just the joy it brings
If someone's on high steeple they don't bother looking out for him
Like diamonds give you no charm you'll be easily harmed by golden rings
Some say life's a shame there's so much we could loose
In a way I do believe we're told that we can't choose
Where's the rhyme living days of glamour in your sphere
You should yield to those who really don't care it's only fair
They are the real people they don't care about material things
They don't care if you are rich or poor looking good for more just the joy it brings
If someone's on high steeple they don't bother looking out for him
Like diamonds give you no charm you'll be easily harmed by golden rings
Retronic Voice - I'm All Around (The Lyrics):
► Show Spoiler
Moments are gone you are lost to me now
The years have passed you seem alone
I wish I'd hold you once more somehow
I hope your heart's not turned to stone
And there's a sorrow haunting in the air
But here's a shelter you can't see
I'll be here I'll survey for every step you go
I'm an angel guiding with my light
If you're down feeling low I have something left to show
I'm your angel my wings surround you tight
I'm all around
Another time another space
There will be you and me again
You will move on with a happy face
My heart'll hurt I'll take the pain
If you can see me now give me a sign
And I'll be sure you're on my side
I'll be here I'll survey for every step you go
I'm an angel guiding with my light
If you're down, feeling low I have something left to show
I'm your angel my wings surround you tight
You're not alone
Although I am here for you can no one discover me
I'm the guardian the angel and so I will always be
I'll be here I'll survey for every step you go
I'm an angel guiding with my light
If you're down feeling low I have something left to show
I'm your angel my wings surround you tight
I'm all around

Retronic Voice - Dancing in My Dream (The Lyrics):
► Show Spoiler
A distant fire a human soul a silent storm in the night
A new desire a different goal I'm reaching out for the light
A perfect stranger a dawning day I'm wondering who she would be
A nervous danger for another tray if there's a letter well sealed
I start to think that if is something wrong imagine how I would feel
If she will say that we should meet as one tonight and just for tonight
Oh I'm dancing in my dream tonight
I'm dreaming romancing bout the words you write
And now I'm dancing in my dream tonight I'm in control
Please let me
Hold on to my dreams so tight
Just let me relive the moments for the night
I turn to stone if I'll wake up alone
While I'm dancing in my dream tonight
A new adventure a new born life another harmony
I'll cut and measure a golden knife design my fantasy
If no tomorrow no yesterday I'm not sure how I'd respond
I will continue I'll save my prayer cause I have seen far beyond
I start to think about my message then sent from this woman of blue
I turn my pillow and I close my eyes again
Oh I'm dancing in my dream tonight
I'm dreaming romancing bout the words you write
And now I'm dancing in my dream tonight I'm in control
Please let me
Hold on to my dreams so tight
Just let me relive the moments for the night
I turn to stone if I'll wake up alone
While I'm dancing in my dream tonight
Please let me
Hold on to my dreams so tight
Just let me relive the moments for the night
I turn to stone if I'll wake up alone
While I'm dancing in my dream tonight
Retronic Voice - Shot Down (The Lyrics):
► Show Spoiler
Driving down the boulevard
The city streets are wet with rain tonight
I wonder if you are all alone today
Driving to the midnight show
The sky is clear the moon is shining bright
There are so many things I'd like to say to you
I know you are waiting
No calls on the phone
I know you're losing sleep
But you left me all alone oh baby
You got me running on an endless highway
And your love is my cell
Your heart of darkness kills the light of my day
You got me under your spell oh lady
Shot down it's a crime of passion
Shot down at the speed of light
Shot down there's a fire in your eyes that's burning bright oh baby
Shot down cause you're my obsession
Shot down in the name of love
Shot down cause you're moving like an angel from above
Sitting on an empty bed
Fading photos of the years gone by
They are the only things you left behind oh yeah
Listening to the radio
It seems that every voice is asking why
I wonder if a dream can make you blind like me
I know you are waiting
No calls on the phone
I know you're losing sleep
But you left me all alone oh baby
You got me running on an endless highway
And your love is my cell
Your heart of darkness kills the light of my day
You got me under your spell oh lady
Shot down it's a crime of passion
Shot down at the speed of light
Shot down there's a fire in your eyes that's burning bright oh baby
Shot down cause you're my obsession
Shot down in the name of love
Shot down cause you're moving like an angel from above
Oh baby oh you show me down
Shot down it's a crime of passion
Shot down at the speed of light
Shot down there's a fire in your eyes that's burning bright oh baby
Shot down cause you're my obsession
Shot down in the name of love
Shot down cause you're moving like an angel from above
Oh baby oh you shot me down
Retronic Voice - The Awakening (The Lyrics):
► Show Spoiler
Once I had a dream the world came crashing in
I was afraid that it was my sin
In my deepest mind I knew I was not to blame at all
Somewhere from afar I heard a call
You'd better wake up and see the world outside your door
It's not an illusion you've seen it before
Open your eyes wear no disguise and let your mind inhale the mood
Create a new life get rid of your strife you have all the world to see
Oceans are blue you dream of them too but they're real for me and for you
If you believe what I say the pleasure remains
I'll come and take behold of what's there to comprehend
If I get afraid can I take your hand
We live in mysterious times and the riddles are hard to solve
And once again I hear that call
Aim at the skies and let your feelings fly away
The nature is yours so come what may
Open your eyes wear no disguise and let your mind inhale the mood
Create a new life get rid of your strife you have all the world to see
Oceans are blue you dream of them too but they're real for me and for you
If you believe what I say the pleasure remains
The circle of life is turning days they're just passing by
I just won't remember yesterday
Open your eyes wear no disguise and let your mind inhale the mood
Create a new life get rid of your strife you have all the world to see
And oceans are blue you dream of them too but they're real for me and for you
If you believe what I say the pleasure remains the pleasure remains
