And when everybody was talking about the end of the world in this year, suddenly surprised us something with the title "Awakening". It has came to us in the right time and when we more needed of that.
The album came to me by a suggestion of my partner dj-andy, who seemed that was not able to hold his tears after hear it, well I had to hear it by my own and I was simply fascinated.
But I will tell a little bit about the band, it is called Retronic Voice (precised name indeed), formed by Daniel Pettersson from Sweden and Marco Rochowski from Germany. They both were working about four years before finally to release their first album under the label of Space Sound Records.
There are 14 tracks including a short intro, and every song is a nice recall to the 80's italodisco. One can really realize the careful work with every song. There is also a good level with the lyrics which are not simple irrelevant love stories, everyone seems to give a message and we can notice that starting with the intro.
The voice of Daniel can remind a little bit the sound of Depeche Mode, is elegant and stronger, it definitely gives a special brand to the record. The melodies remind us to our favorites hits from the general eurodisco, the spacesynth touch is also very present and despite their clear influence they have got an own style.

It is not really possible to choose a favorite track, because everyone is good enough for an own single, although "Feel the Night" already was choosed as that, (in the album is possible to find an extended mix version). The track "Bessina" also counts with the female vocals of Alicja Wiśniewska, tracks like "Feel the Night" can reminds a little bit the original sound of Modern Talking and Systems In Blue with a little HPV for enjoy.
If you are a nostalgic of the 80's disco, I suggest you to get this masterpiece in your collection.
