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...

From Vintage Tapes to Modern Waves: SFMD’s ‘Diving Board’ Revives the '80s!

“Diving Board” by SFMD

Emerging from the vibrant heart of Liège, a band has surfaced, encapsulating the quintessence of a nostalgic epoch with a contemporary flourish. SFMD, an illustrious Belgian collective hailing from the Francophone sector, has been meticulously sculpting a distinct niche within the musical cosmos, harmonizing an eclectic fusion of Synthwave and pop elements. Incepted in the twilight of the 2000s, SFMD has unveiled two auditory compilations that have garnered acclamation from aficionados within Belgium and the international expanse.
The ensemble’s constituents are progenies of the 1980s, a decade enshrined within their sonic creations. Their oeuvre is a homage to the emblematic resonances, harmonies, and visual artistry of their formative years. Esteemed bands such as Depeche Mode, Talk Talk, Duran Duran, coupled with virtuosos like David Bowie and Giorgio Moroder, have indelibly influenced their artistic odyssey. 
SFMD’s most recent oeuvre, “Diving Board,” unveiled in 2024, unveils a more somber facet of the band’s musical spectrum. This composition harbors profound significance, as it was conceived nearly three decades prior, embodying a fragment of their storied past. Now, it has been bestowed with the consummate interpretation, poised to claim its venerable position within their forthcoming Retrowave/Synthwave anthology, slated for release in 2025.
With an unwavering commitment to revivifying the essence of their cherished era, SFMD’s “Diving Board” is not merely a revivalist piece but a testament to their innovative pop-infused Synthwave genre. It’s a reverent ode to the '80s, a time capsule that they fervently preserve. This track is not a simple actuation of the nostalgia mechanism, it is a reimagining, a re-recording of history with their signature pop panache, ensuring that the pulse of the '80s continues to resonate within the Synthwave tableau.
