Thanks for the support of Hot Music America LLC.
And recently, in parallel with the main theme for the Laserdance album cover (photo 1), this addition was posted on Facebook (photo 2). This is either an image from the bonus liner with additional information & signatures of musicians, which was previously reported by the Hot Music America website, a trial layout or something else It is not yet known for sure - the premiere is coming soon and everything will be clear. By the way, judging by the description on the supplement, the author of most of previous covers of the Laserdance Spacesynth project is working on the album envelope as before graphic artist & designer Edwin Van Der Laag.

Laserdance - Mission Hyperdrive (Promo Mix) Message from ZYX Music label: "Erik van Vliet and Michiel van der Kuy present the new Laserdance album "Mission Hyperdrive" & once again give the Italo Disco & Spacesynth fans an absolute delicacy. Laserdance had huge success in the 80's with their space synthesizer disco sound ("Humanoid Invasion, Powerrun & much more"). In 2016, they celebrated a much-noticed comeback after 16 years of radio silence. For all Laserdance, Italo Disco and Spacesynth fans, the disc is an absolute MUST HAVE anyway!"

On the Easter Sunday, the album premiere (the announcement of which you can see in this nice picture) took place on Radio Stad Den Haag. The long-awaited event has happened at 20:00 CET.
For the presentation of the album, was broadcasted a megamix from DJ Alex Ivens, who hosts his show there. The mix includes the most iconic tracks "Predators From Space", "Astroventure" and "Against All Enemies". Track "Blue Moon" was also played separately. In the interview, Michiel said that he tried to balance between the first albums and modernity, adding new elements to the album.
Erik explained in detail how to order exclusive numbered copies with autographs. The booklets were also demonstrated. The broadcast is in Dutch, so you need to sit down and translate in order to understand in more detail everything they talked about there.
Laserdance - Mission Hyperdrive (Presentation on Radio Stad Den Haag)
Thanks to the subtitles, we can manage to understand something from the conversation. They mostly discuss the common things: album release dates, megamix, track tempo, merch & more. But there is also something important. At the 16th minute, Michiel tries to explain that it is not so easy to balance between the old sound and the new approach. In his thesis, he said something like the following:
• When writing a new album, I understand that a fan will still say: "Future Generation" was the best
• If I try to go to the left, they tell me that it sounds too much like "Future Generation". A if I go to the right and add new ones elements, then it's not Laserdance anymore. I understand that I won't be able to make everyone happy.
• Over 40 years of progress, a composer should grow, not get stuck in the old times.
Oh, by the way, this is my 3000th forum post, which I am incredibly glad about! Hurray!
