Another lonely day in space
No one to speak to but myself
Reflecting my face, the computer screen
Started to flash to show a message :
“You are not alone.”
Hello master I’ve entered the program
Execution has finally began
This is my fate,
The great update of my system is now written
I am flesh and bones.
CPU : Are you afraid?
Man : No, I’m not.
Are you happy?
I don’t know.
Man : What’s your name?
CPU : I don’t know.
You are human?
No, I’m your creation.
I don’t remember.
Do you like me?
Yes.
Man : Will you stay with me?
CPU : Yes.

The truck got to the top of the landing pit
We cannot see the ray anymore
Voices are now silent
I feel I’m recovering my senses
My mind is free
Chorus :
We cut the smoke
And found the path
The road is straight
Clear like a glass
Reflexion left out
Action Started
A man in motion
Who can’t be broken
We’re rolling on the rocks of a desert landscape
Crossing the shadow of the colorful belt
Following the dark signal of that thick mountain
No matter what happen now
My mind is free
Regular shapes are surrounding our way
Traces of civilisation
Or Part of my imagination
The roads ends here, an infinite stair is waiting for me
I can’t see where it leads
The sun is dazzling me
but my mind is free

The Impossible Return

It’s been around an hour that I am climbing, I’m not tired
My backpack isn’t a burden anymore
Wrapped by the dark of night,
Guided by some blinking shadows,
I’m walking my way through a door
Alone in the universe / world
The end of my journey is here
I’ll slowly, slowly disappear
Light is penetrating me
Spreading its arms across my body
Like the first time, I don’t feel any pain.
I can’t see anything but whiteness
I can’t control my limbs, I’m rising
The music is coming back into my brain.
Bridge :
This Melody
This Melody oh!
A little litany of fancies hopes
Is it really over?
Is it really over?
The end of my journey is here
It’s over.

The album stimulates neurons. The compositions reach a breathtaking level of intensity and digital transfiguration. TOMMY '86 is the Deus Ex Machina.

The sound multilayers and musical arrangements are powerful and well calibrated, to perforate the brain, it fits on its own. Especially the beat and bass line, that would wake up a deaf.

It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10.

Three new songs and three remixes from Italian darkwavers Ash Code will surely grace goth club speakers once we can go pick cobwebs again.

Like a fast paced horror movie with guitars. Except you never want it to end. Until maybe their next album comes out.
