Joel Hands-Otte There's an incredible amount of variety, creativity and charm poured into this album. It's certainly one of the bolder albums I've purchased in a while and I'm grateful for what DiscoCactus has achieved. I can't wait to see what you do next! Favorite track: Greentrail.

aallgod The whole album is great. A healthy amount of variety, spanning a range of popular tracks of the past generation of video gaming. It is bouncy, funky, jazzy, and most of all heartfelt. DiscoCactus put in a lot of hard work, and everyone needs to hear what these mad lads and lass have created! 10/10 Favorite track: Greentrail.

When the light is running low And the shadows start to grow And the places that you know Seem like fantasy There's a light inside your soul That’s still shining in the cold With the truth The promise in our hearts Don't forget I'm with you in the dark

You try to run me through Hold on Think again Don't you know What you're starting But you sure ain't got a clue How bad This will go Don't you know Know my art (Art of war) And as you look to the horizon Not a cloud But then stormy weather's caught you cold Seems like it crept up out of nowhere All around You it's not quite what you foretold You'll never see it coming You'll see that my mind is too fast for eyes You're done in By the time it's hit you, your last surprise You think you got your game Planned out To a T Yet I'm two Steps ahead yeah So you step into my way Stand down It's a trap One more step And you're dead (Yeah you're dead) Why just a picosecond ago Clear blue skies But now lightning's struck your last resolve It's not an accident that no one Hears your cries As your last strength seems to dissolve You'll never see it coming You'll see that my mind is too fast for eyes You're done in By the time it's hit you, your last surprise I'm coming For you My game's always so fast, so fine You're spun in By the net you didn't catch it in time Better think About your game Are you sure Your next move's the right one for you? Are you sure You won't get outmaneuvered again And again my friend? You'll never see it coming You'll see that my mind is too fast for eyes You're done in By the time it's hit you, your last surprise I'm coming For you My game's always so fast, so fine You're spun in By the net you didn't catch it in time
