Games - Strawberry Skies

[djpetenice]

Amazing tune!



[InflatedLala]

this song is profoundly haunting for synth-pop..



[thegmanyo]

I feel that the album cover makes more sense when viewed as the title screen for an 80s VHS classroom video about multiracial recess etiquette.

[kooter4real]

im pretty sure megazord did the art. everything he does is tinged by irony, this cover is no exception. It's supposed to look "clueless."

[diskortion]

I like the cover. Reminds me of old school Amiga magazine adverts for games.

[devtchka]

can't stop listeningg

[Gram3000]

i love the album cover! reminds me of posters we used to have at school. who doesnt like flags?

[DasTECHNOhunter]

@Gram3000 Actually it remembers me of some videogame like these old FIFA with all the football teams and their flags

[ChrisSanson]

@DasTECHNOhunter

it looks a lot like the team select screen for Sega Worldwide Soccer 97/98, I wouldn't be suprised if it was some sort of influence.

[ITherealMarcomanI]

Sounds 80s.

[CobaltDream]

A+!

[fjoidpsajf]

amazing modern cosmic sound

[runitecastle]

so many people angry at the cover art. successful art design is quite successful i think

[deathtramp666]

Can i get the lyrics somewhere?

thank you!

[ohmyfungusamongus]

this track bangs, love that bassline

[narekasadorian]

@gabbafm i'm not sure if i get the album art... its just supposed to be some bad 'global' graphic design from the 90s right? or is there something more to it?

one thing i noticed is that the flag for nagorno-karabagh is on there. nagorno-karabagh is an unrecognized but self-governing nation that came out of the armenian / azerbaijani war in 1992.

regardless, games is such a sick project! loved the entire EP

[Blackmetal6027]

This song isn't incredibly great, but something about it is hypnotizing, and oddly catchy, and her voice is eerily beautiful .. I can't stop listening to it.. I have listened to it 18 times in 2 days!! It's driving me crazy.. HELP!!.. Arrggghhhggiighhg

[sheatheman]

i saw this on bleep.com and i got so pissed at the album art, i refused to listen to it, but once i got into the music I was ok with it. it adds to the music for sure, like a level select screen on street fighter or something.

[lisabuttface]

I want to love this for it's ironic sense but at the same time I see my toe tappin and my hips shakin and I know I still love the cheesy 80s synth vibe!

[sackwizard]

great track, but that is without question one of the worst album covers you're ever going to see.

[sexlessparents]

@sackwizard it's post post ironic

[jammadamma]

@sackwizard it's good bad!

[bungi98]

@sackwizard its pretty self-aware, i like it

[cosmosman]

i wish i could find lyrics for this song.

[MozsQuiff]

This is luscious, and makes me feel quite melancholy.

[FjordMusic]

i enjoy getting exorbitantly stoned and listening to every individual synth, or at least I try, and it's amazing. every. time. ever.

[moonlemon09]

@FjordMusic me too dawg

[theblurstoftimes]

cannot stop bumping this track... so hot.

[giobot]

does anyone know where the samples are from?

[sweepstakes]

@giobot Google the liner notes for this EP. There's a big list of gear they used, mostly 80s synths.

[lisam805]

addictive track; reveals more every time I listen.

[sonnycrockett78]

Synth-pop track of the year!

[phantasmagore1]

like listening to pure light

[djoneman99]

so good
