(Synthwave | Electro-Pop)
Label: Ghost Man Records
Format: (LP)
Release: 12.01.2024
GHOST MAN ON THIRD It may not be a project that falls into any of our prey schemes, but the funny and friendly press advertisement, which I of course don’t want to withhold from you, made me curious and motivated me to write this review because of my creativity:
Every pseudo-hookline booms like the outcast child of SCOOTER and ENYA, every beat cheaper than ordered from Wish.
As the first brass musician on the moon, Louis Armstrong, once said while looking at the earth from up there: “Great, I can’t hear that shit up here. “What a wonderful world.”
His global hit, written in a spaceship, still sells millions of copies to this day. But there are also positive things to report regarding GMOT’s music. You don’t have to hear them. Therefore, my urgent appeal to you: try to avoid this nightmare as much as possible. Avoid streaming services and large discos. Unplug the cassette recorder and deactivate the auto-reverse function of your Discman. Block the numbers of all cell phone ringtone providers and cancel your Pharmacy Review subscription as soon as possible. And please live your life as if GMOT doesn’t exist!
Sounds wonderfully interesting and as if you should give the second EP entitled “Let The Boy Watch” a wide berth. But following reading these lines, you can’t help but listen in to find out how bad the whole thing is supposed to be. And partial all-clear: It’s really not that bad, but it’s only partially digestible for the rocker.
These are five synth/dark wave tracks without guitars or other stuff that the average headbanger needs to survive. But what GHOST MAN ON THIRD and the artist Marco Maccioni delivers here is really not bad.
One might more easily imagine that primarily David Hasselhoff, a young HP Baxxter (when he was still running CELEBRATE THE NUN) or the makers of Miami Vice, but also many a nostalgic gaming fan, are really enjoying what is on offer. The 80s are omnipresent here, but for metal fans who can relate to industrial and electro sounds, the DEATHSTARS come to mind when it comes to the beats in the dark and haunting “Fire, Gold, Hollywood”. There is no classical singing, but there are some spoken female and male vocals that function more as an instrument than classical singing. There is variety in the six tracks and everything still fits together. And so it should more than work out with the calculated 1300 clicks on Spotify.
Everything is well made, fun and goes wonderfully into the ear. Mister Armstrong exaggerated a bit on his moon. Maybe envy?
