Volke Absolutely in love with this album. My favourite part is how everything is grouped nicely, and the music types subtly change as you progress through. Favorite track: Icarus - Machine Heart.

tremoloman Absolutely BRILLIANT album! Every song stands out on its own! I sure hope this gets pressed to vinyl at some point. Such a great mix!

I can't pick a favorite song because they are all so damn good. Picking one would be a disservice to all the others.

In other words... buy it now and support the artists! \m/

_lennld Ricura... 👉🏻🎹🎶🌴 Favorite track: JJ Mist - Test My Love (Dream Shore Remix).

In the morning light I see your face It shines so bright So bright In the darkness, when my head is all full of fear Lead me into your light Your light Chorus It's never enough No, It's never enough It's never enough Boy, it's never enough When you hold me And you kiss me I come undone Come undone In the dark depths of this cold cold world Lead me in to your sun Your sun It's never enough No, It's never enough It's never enough Boy, it's never enough So embrace me In the corners of your mind That's where we'll hide We'll hide With our memory burning fierce within our minds We'll still survive Survive It's never enough No, It's never enough It's never enough Boy, it's never enough In the morning light I see your face It shines so bright So bright In the darkness, when my head is all full of fear Lead me into your light Your light Chorus It's never enough No, It's never enough It's never enough Boy, it's never enough So embrace me In the corners of your mind That's where we'll hide We'll hide With our memory burning fierce within our minds We'll still survive Survive Chorus It's never enough No, It's never enough It's never enough Boy, it's never enough

Just feel a little dazed I couldn't turn the music off My body's in a maze My heart is telling me to stop Oh, nothing really matters Will I ever hear my song on the radio... song on the radio? Oh, nothing really matters Will I ever hear my song on the radio... song on my radio? I feel a little cold I need to get my fire back This life that I was sold I'm ready, not to hand it back Oh, nothing really matters Will I ever hear my song on the radio... song on the radio? Oh, nothing really matters Will I ever hear my song on the radio... song on my radio? You put a poison bullet in my heart Now I hear music differently Just verses, chorus, in-betweens Oh, nothing really matters I just wanna hear my song on the radio... song on the radio! Oh, nothing really matters Please... song on the radio... my song on the radio!

You've been looking for somebody like me You've been looking for some kind of saviour You created me and turned me into you To make me last a lifetime, make me last a lifetime Now i'm on repeat i'm trapped inside a loop I've been stuck here for a lifetime, god it's been a lifetime Pick me apart, discard me you will see Determined i will rise from the debris I impersonate humanity Artificial heartbeats, artificial heartbeats Can you hear it pounding in my chest, it's mechanical So embrace me, too late to erase me You can't stop the pounding in my chest, it's mechanical Now i embody all the darkest parts of you And you made me last a lifetime, made me last a lifetime You can't stop me, we are stuck inside a loop You'll be running for a lifetime, running for a lifetime Pick me apart, discard me you will see Determined i will rise from the debris I impersonate humanity Artificial heartbeats, artificial heartbeats Can you hear it pounding in my chest, it's mechanical So embrace me, too late to erase me You can't stop the pounding in my chest, it's mechanical Artificial heartbeats, artificial heartbeats Can you hear it pounding in my chest, it's mechanical So embrace me, too late to erase me You can't stop the pounding in my chest, it's mechanical Artificial heartbeats, artificial heartbeats Can you hear it pounding in my chest, it's mechanical So embrace me, too late to erase me You can't stop the pounding in my chest, it's mechanical

Waiting in the dark for you. Waiting just to taste the night time air. Reaching out to touch your skin. Do you feel me shaking. I cant breathe Waiting in the dark. Waiting in the dark Waiting in the dark for you. Waiting just to taste the night time air. Reaching out to touch your skin. Do you feel me shaking. I cant breathe Fighting for our chance to chase this dream within our soul Losing all trace of who I am, my self control. And I need you to see.

Now look how far we’ve come We’ve got the worst behind We’re getting closer still It seems we’re falling right in line In line Come a little closer I can give you all that you need Just a little closer Nothing in between us but sleep I've never felt such love I hope it never comes undone I think I’ll take my time There’s still a few things left to find out Come a little closer I can give you all that you need Just a little closer Nothing in between us but sleep It's not so safe To feel this deeply I'm not quite sure But please don't leave It's not so safe To feel this deeply I'm not quite sure But just in case Come a little closer I can give you all that you need Just a little closer Nothing in between us but sleep (repeat)

Verse 1 Tonight we fly celestial, celestial, celestia. The stars in the sky they burn bright, it's a kinda starlight. As we fly by in the Night sky, there's a freedom I feel inside. I'm losing it all, my inhibitions, here with you on this Night flight. On this Night flight, here with you on this Night flight x 2 Verse 2 The cityscapes beneath us now, I feel so alive here with you. There's nothing to fear from the noise below, I see it all expressed in you. As we float by in the Night sky, there's a freedom I feel inside. I'm losing it all, my inhibitions, here with you on this Night flight......... I'm losing it all.....on this Night flight.............. Verse 3 The cityscapes beneath us now, I feel so alive here with you. There's nothing to fear from the noise below, I see it all expressed in you. As we float by in the Night sky, there's a freedom I feel inside. I'm losing it all, my inhibitions, here with you on this Night flight. Here with you on this Night flight. Here with you..............................

A love built on Metaphysics, I feel your heartbeat in the room A love contained in fibre-optics, I'm entering in the program code The house is covered in peeling walls in front of naked cables I'm still here with wires out of my head You don't mind the mess because my heart can't seem to regress I'm standing there, you're standing there I know this is real

Take my hand I'm only miles away Look into my eyes, they're Earl Grey See my skin is fading over my face Only you can see a slight trace Turn away I'm dying One day you and I will be flying Well it's about time I never thought that you would wait for me I was only just looking for love You never said that you thought we could be More than friends and I settled for that

Longer days and shorter nights Darker shades and brighter lights Morning air so soft There's only one thing in my mind Every morning breeze shakes the green trees Brings me joy, that's how it feels A joy of reckless and wild Time of freedom's so wide My spirit sets free, soars higher than the sky Oh it's wild, it decides to wait awhile For what is to come! Sunny days Sunny days Dance! Like no one is around! Dance! Sunny days Sunny days Oh sunny days... Will you smile to me, baby? Will you dance with me, tell me? In these sunny days Sunny days Sunny days Oh sunny days...

Verse 1: As you walked down that halfway I saw the end of us I thought that you were the one The one that I could trust And the flames They were rising They were blocking my sight And you know how I'm feeling I wanna be in your Starlight Bridge: I need you baby but you just don't listen to me (Impovise on "Me) I want to listen but it just can never be (hold note on "Be" and accend up) Chorus: Starlight You were always there Watching it spin out of control Starlight You're the only one That can make me feel like I'm at home Starlight Take me home tonight Make me feel like I'm something new Starlight You are shining bright There's nothing that I'd rather do Verse 2: All of those memories I tried to leave behind But I couldn't escape the feeling That you were on my mind My heart was racing trying to find something To hold on to You'd found someone else Someone I never knew. (Breakdown) Chorus: Starlight You were always there Watching it spin out of control Starlight You're the only one That can make me feel like I'm at home Starlight Take me home tonight Make me feel like I'm something new Starlight You are shining bright There's nothing that I'd rather do x2

You've been hiding in plain sight Becoming a faint memory A familiar looking terabyte encoded in what use to be Whispers are seeping through the fog Brisk air that grabs a hold of me A cold grip, tight upon my thoughts Is this how it's suppose to be... A distorted view on a TV your fading, your fading... Imprisoned in reality your fading, your fading... A distorted view on a TV your fading, your fading... Imprisoned in reality your fading, your fading... I feel it rising underground Voices are pounding at my door Fingertips twitch to the sound the gloom has melodies that pour The gray brings back all the dreams Crashes of electricity The truth shoots out a signal beam A grin that holds complicity A distorted view on a TV your fading, your fading... Imprisoned in reality your fading, your fading... A distorted view on a TV your fading, your fading... Imprisoned in reality your fading, your fading...

Intro It feels like I can't breathe (REPEAT) Verse It's crushing me in waves, don't be so selfish Forever pulled beneath Where is humanity? Choking and gasping Submerging with the sea Derelict and isolated in this casket Buried deeper than the Mariana Trench The odyssey is free and filling every facet I've lost all sense of self In darkness I am drenched Chorus And it feels like I can't breathe Lost in sea's of humanity Bridge Observing changing tides with eyes so dry and patronised Obscured in subtle lies, they bond and tie and won't survive Oblivious to change, they lose all hope, submit again Obliviously in denial, we are all free, not all compiled Chorus Verse Chorus

That’s alright, you’ll see, I’m alright you’ll fell No one can hurt me anymore I promise I won’t die alone When cold wind blows, Lonely rain pours on your head, Your soul will find the way where life ends But you should never go this way. Chorus: That’s alright, you’ll see, I’m alright you’ll fell No one can hurt me anymore I promise I won’t die alone There is no man, no word, no place, There is nothing what can calm you, But you should walk your steady pace keep your head up they won’t shot you.

Verse 1 I didn't foresee all of this That it would all come crashing down I thought we'd have more chances I thought there'd be more time There’s someone telling me that your here Talking through them baby They saying things you would have said I thought they were joking but there’s this feeling I get... ______________ Chorus If I could wish on a falling star I'd travel back in time You’re sending messages through Your eyes glow blue I can see them shining in my dreams If I could wish on a falling star I would travel back to where you are You possess my heart like you did from the start ______________ Verse 2 When I look back into the night Where you were taken from me I wish I could travel back To turn that gun on him I spend endless nights with tears my only company Cause I see you In my dreams... ______________ Bridge With tears dripping down I know I'll get there one day But they tell me you don’t want me to follow Spend endless nights with tears my only company Cause I see you in my dreams ______________ Chorus If I could wish on a falling star I'd travel back to where you are You possess my heart like you did from the start I would be with you If I could wish on a falling star I'd travel back to where you are You posses my heart like you did from the start I want to be with you Not just in my dreams

about

"Electronic synth music — retrowave, electro-pop, synthwave, outrun, dreamwave, and everything under the hot pink sun — is proving to be more than just the soundtrack to Drive, and now Maine-based label RetroSynth Records’ is here to give the entire sound a turbo boost with its two-volume, 94-track Ladies of Synth compilation." - Vanyaland

This has been a long time coming, there are many females in synth music that need their voices and productions to be heard, and on this compilation they are front and center for the first time ever!

RetroSynth Records is proud to bring you the first ever Synth compilation devoted to female vocalists and producers "Ladies of Synth"!

I spent the past month trying to assemble the best tracks I could find for this and I am truly pleased with the end result.

This first Volume starts out with lots of awesome synth-pop & synthwave tracks, and then moves later into amazing italo disco, and then later into faster outrun, some darker tracks and electronic rock tracks. It closes out on a slower darker pace which also continues into Volume 2.

Big thanks to all the wonderful women who wanted to be involved, and the dudes as well. Huge thanks to Ariel at Aztec for making this easy for me, Vincenzo, Yana, and the whole Sunlover crew for being so cool as well, you guys are all awesome! also thank you to Hélène for wanting to bring her Synth Religion tracks to this compilation at the last minute!
