‘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.

#OUTNOW: ‘Space & Time’ by Spirits of Saturn

‘Space & Time’ by Spirits of Saturn

A touch of Roxy Music wafts through the halls of Nenesbutler, indicating that somewhere nearby, Early Sans (synthesizer & vocals), Edmund Blackadder (vocals), Scott Docherty (keyboard & bass), and Elian Lion (drums) are lurking – better known as Spirits of Saturn. 
Their new track is titled ‘Space & Time,’ and the title encapsulates its essence. Musically, we’re firmly rooted in the early '80s, perhaps even the late '70s. Studio 54 enters its second era, with New Wave and New Romantic already making their presence felt. Amidst this musical evolution, Spirits of Saturn reemerge. 
Compared to their previous release, ‘Transfigured’ (which, by the way, I highly recommend), ‘Space & Time’ takes a different direction. The magnificent synth sound at the beginning immediately propels listeners into a time-travel experience. The vocals evoke memories of Stephen Tin Tin Duffy, maintaining an enthusiastic vibe, a classic synth-vocals combination steeped in nostalgia. Additional musical elements contribute to a modern overall sound, bridging the past and present. ‘Space & Time’ exudes retro charm while remaining relevant, making it a fantastic follow-up to their previous release.
