Please Insert Coin: ‘Games’ by The Octopus Division

‘Games’ by The Octopus Division If you love the 80s and don't know Matt Muncie (aka The Octopus Division), you've definitely missed something. But as it's never too late for good music, you can catch up on what you've missed anytime and almost anywhere.  The Octopus Division's latest work is called ‘Games’ and once again represents the decade of neon lights perfectly. The major sequences are classically chosen, and you'll be hooked from the start. Back in the world of arcade games, the song becomes an intense journey of self-discovery, describing personal growth. Timelessness and shared experiences emphasize the importance of interpersonal bonds. ‘Games’ creates a dreamy atmosphere that allows you to immerse yourself in another world and makes you think about the future - all because you pressed the start button.  The entire production clearly bears Matt's signature, with classic drums, synth arrangements, and above all, the usual concise vocal part, which...

"American Dream" by Rogue Fx

Rogue FX

Rogue Fx

... is Andrew Wood from North East England, who was part of the late 80s synth pop group Please and the house music outfit Bass Value who had records released on Reachin Records, Three Beat Records and PWL in the early to mid 90s
Since Bass Value wound up later in the 90s Andrew moved away from making music until the bug struck again in 2022 and We Belong was born , released on streaming platforms under the name of Rogue FX, influenced by synth pop and 80s synthwave.

American Dream is the new release from Rogue Fx. The song is a third person narrative around a couple that both have an American Dream, but it’s not the same American dream and how that affects the relationship, ultimately a potential to make or break the relationship. The music is a synth pop epic synth with elements of electro and synth rock, the 80s musical influences and culture very present in the track.

Rogue Fx is back ... und was daraus folgt, werden die meisten unserer Blog Leser erahnen. Die Segel sind gesetzt und alles reist Richtung 80s Synth Wave Pop. Die Geschichte, die es zu erzählen gibt, handelt von einer Beziehung und dem "amerikanischen Traum", aber es ist nicht derselbe Traum und wie sich das auf die Beziehung auswirkt, wird schlussendlich thematisiert. 
Musikalisch verwendet Andrew nur die besten Zutaten, um sein perfektes 80er Süppchen zu kochen und es uns zu servieren. Fazit: American Dream stellt sich als schicker Synthpop heraus, welcher mit allen Raffinessen ausgestattet wurde.
