‘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. A song that is not meant to be heard, but to be lived through – like a familiar glance at an old photo album by candlelight. b...

A Séance of Sound: Verlatour’s Album ‘Immersion’ Conjures Otherworldly Beats!

‘Immersion (Album)’ by Verlatour

He’s a mad scientist who is awakening beats to life, and this time, he’s summoning the electronic gods to dance with mere mortals. Like a possessed maestro in a dimly lit warehouse, he lets the synthesizer wail, its oscillators and filters crafting a symphony of electronic sound that reverberates off the concrete walls, creating an atmosphere of magic. 
The air crackles with anticipation, and Verlatour’s essence streams from the threads of pleasure-seeking and electronic vibes. Envision a progeny born of Daft Punk and Blade Runner’s union, nurtured by Kraftwerk’s hand amidst a vessel aglow with neon, dancing through the cosmos to the rhythm of the stars. Such is the quintessence of his musical creation. 
His vocals? Sublime. They wrap around your brain like a velvet boa constrictor, squeezing out every ounce of inhibition. You’ll tap your feet, wiggle your head, and you’ll lose yourself in the void between dimensions. Because Verlatour opens these portals. Portals to alternate realities where basslines pulse like heartbeats, and melodies shimmer in the distance. 
‘On My Mind,’ the lead track from his album, ‘Immersion,’ is a wormhole straight to the pleasure centers of your brain. It’s like your neurons are doing the tango with each other, fueled by cosmic caffeine. 
And oh, sweet cosmic chaos! They have said, a concert is not a concert, it’s a séance. The audience becomes part of the ritual, their souls entangled in Verlatour’s sonic sigils. From the very first note, you’ll wonder if you’re still on Earth or if you have slipped into a parallel universe where synthesizers grow on trees, and the moon is a giant disco ball. So, my fellow seekers of sonic enlightenment, if you have the chance to witness Verlatour live, capture it as though it’s a once-in-a-lifetime treasure. 
Allow the orchestration to envelop you, purify your energy centers, and serve as a gentle reminder that what we perceive as reality is merely an anomaly within the vast expanse of the cosmic substance.
