‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division

  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ . Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us. The chorus – a kind of collective mantra – describes not just a journey, but an intertwining of stories that support each other. The garden in which hopes take root becomes a symbol of what must be nurtured in order to flourish. And when ‘ our songs have lost a note or two ’, it is not a flaw, but proof of lived depth.

"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.
