Kebu wrote: "This song will also be available on my upcoming album "Synthesizer Legends - Volume 1", which is a collection of cover tunes of famous and less well-known instrumental synthesizer gems from the eighties. Some of the songs on the album have been part of my live repertoire for many years already, while other songs are completely new arrangements. The first single from the album belongs to the later group: Laserdance’s legendary italo disco / Spacesynth hit “Power Run”. The music on this album was recorded using only analog synthesizers and analog drum machines. Arranged, performed, recorded, mixed and mastered by Kebu / Sebastian Teir. The original was written by Michael van de Kuy and co-arranged by Erik van Vliet."
