I'm just losing you i was searching in your eyes the reason why i'm falling in the deep and it's reason why i must leave into the night no one can read in your mind your mirror is breaking on thousand pieces i'm still looking for you where did you go? what page did you read? I found a better place where we could die where we don't have to seek turn on the light no one can steal all our dreams you don't feel guilty don't say: believe me when you go outside.. ..and i know your cry..

about

Different music heads, one from splitted emo-rock band Abused, and the other behind pop group and electronic, wants to try out fusing guitar driven with electronic sound. Their first, naturally from spontaneity created songs, was just the beginning of collaboration to bring its fruits...

Title track, although guitar-less and purely electronic, seeks dramatic layered synths pulsating over the silence breaking a beat with dub sensitivity. The overall gradation grows, brightened up by adding piano on a repeated voice line.

"Turn on the Light" opens tremolo affected guitar, followed by strong subbass, and coulourful palette of drumkit sounds throughout the song - from clap, echoed crash cymbals, dense snare, to distorted percussion section in a part of the second verse feeling like a "post-pop-rock" build. Lyrics transitioned into choruses through overdrive guitar solos crossing beneath an urgent voice.

Heavy, altered take-on the previous track, dizzying "Turn of the night" is fueled by neck-breaked beat while omnipresent synths hums and weaves melodically until the mirror breaks...

Electro-acoustic version of a song from the band Abused, second revision, "November Chillout" built on a repeating guitar motif gradually receding towards soundrealms, just to fully hide inside and reappear back again. In the moments when it's gone, is replaced just by beat with piano and vocals - all somehow sways and fade away, so that everything quiets down, and then steps out in a new direction again. Eyes-narrowing look into the sun, wind whispering words of hope through falling colourful leafs in the Autumn's own, familiar inner mood, nourished by live drums and psych-like synths.

Worth mentioning the original perfume scent for physical audio medium, stimulating sense(s) of cementing the split concept... (myrrh, orange peel, lavender, vanilla, pepper, sea salt)
