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.

From Nature’s Fury to Human Struggle: “These Are Burning Days” by E.G. Phillips

 “These Are Burning Days” by E.G. Phillips

A song that not only reflects natural disasters but also the emotional and societal challenges of our time. E.G. Phillips’ release “These Are Burning Days” combines vivid, almost painterly descriptions of nature with deep emotional and psychological reflections on loss, pain, and the human response to such catastrophes. 
The repeated mention of “burning days” and the chaotic winds that fan the flames underscore the unpredictability and intensity of the fires. The biblical reference to Cain and Abel amplifies the sense of ancient, uncontrollable rage and violence that exists in both nature and the human spirit. 
The musical work masterfully blends traditional elements of folk music with influences from progressive rock, utilising the depth of both genres to evoke even more emotion. 
The result is a song that, thanks in part to the contributions of Kenny Schick and Amberly Rosen, has an infinite amount to offer.
