To bad ;-)

I for myself I confess that I am very nostalgic about the eighties and it shows a
lot in my recent techno work.  Especially in the main structure, it's more like a
song written oriented with verse chorus and bridge and also with a kind of
romantic cheesy melodie  a bit "numanesque" .  I now even sing!  It's bad, but i
guess it's just that I nerver got back the intensity from those days when I was
listenning to Joy Division, Trisomie 21, old simple minds, Numan etc.  I think
because i was around 13 to 18 years old where your brain kinda absorb a lot of
information and everything seems so deep...  Anyway so I guess by doing music that
iinspired by this period just bring me back in that special state of mind:
romantic.

I confess...
