Red I literally only bought this album for "Memories of Youth". Something about this song just resonates a lot with me. I think the song title says it all really.
But anyway, I love how it starts off with notes of sorrowful yearning and then kicks off with an epic chorus that just ramps up feelings of nostalgia and longing. Wish it was longer, but, repeat will do just fine.
This wasn't what I was looking for when I looked into this album and yet I've come away deeply touched by this song alone. Favorite track: Memories of Youth.

Hank This album has quickly become one of my favorites in its genre. Excellent from start to end (rare opinion for me!) and offers great mix of different vibes all while maintaining a consistent theme throughout. Really great stuff! Looking forward to more! Favorite track: Arrival of the Tomato Plant Monsters.

grammotron It's not just music. It's a story told through music. It's Kebu's experiences of life which you hear in these tracks. From a sad and melancholic tone over a happy tone to a serious one, all situations of life are here. Favorite track: Discovering Utopia.

about

Kebu is a synthesizer wizard from Finland, who creates new instrumental, melodic music using analogue synthesizers only. His music is distinguished not only by a skillful treatment of analogue synthesis but also of an audience-captivating live performance – a phenomenon that has attracted over 70 million views on his Youtube channel and fans from all around the globe. Kebu was awarded the Best Artist Award in the German Schallwelle Music Awards in 2018.

The third studio album from the synthesizer wizard Kebu explores dreams – both those occurring during sleep and daydreams. Conceived during a time of lock-downs and people living in isolation in confined spaces, this instrumental album is exploring dreams – both those occurring during sleep and daydreams.

The new album is also a celebration of power ballads and soft rock beats from the eighties - essentially music that surrounded and influenced Kebu when he was young. Instead of being nostalgic or witty about it, Kebu crafts the music like the world never moved on past that decade.

Again, Kebu is pushing the limits of what can be done with analog synthesizers - similar to Kebu’s earlier releases, “Urban Dreams” was recorded using only analog synthesizers and analog drum machines. Kebu composed, performed and mixed the music himself.
