‘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 Magic is Back and Sparkles in the Neon Light: ‘You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)’ by Luke Tangerine & Carlos Ucedda

‘You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)’ by Luke Tangerine & Carlos Ucedda

They have succeeded! Luke Tangerine and Carlos Ucedda have teamed up to reinterpret a classic of the 80s. The track is legendary, and the song ‘You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)’ by Dead or Alive has thrilled generations, but many have failed in the attempt to do it justice. Luke and Carlos choose a different approach: they do not simply copy the original. 
The first thing that catches the eye is that they reduce the tempo and create a touch of 90s elegance (somehow I feel reminded of "Route 66" by DM), which gives the original a new shine. As always, Luke places his ‘Sound Candies’ masterfully and spans the arc to the year 2024. Carlos Ucedda impresses with his voice and moves confidently between the original and his own note. He gives the cover a distinctive character and harmonises perfectly with Luke. 
The magic is back and sparkles in the neon light or simply here's the new release ‘You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)’ by Luke Tangerine & Carlos Ucedda!
