    Muzik Mag Sweden: "Damokles from Malmö, Sweden is a bit different when it comes to produce music, he turns away from what many other does, he is a bit unique with his 80´s sound, the new album ´Tales From A Future Past´ deliver us a synthetic sound, you get vibes of an old Nintendo 8 bit game, or in a Ferrari cab cruising around in Miami back in the 80´s, we also get some vibes of the 90´s softer Eurosound."

    Zero Magazine: "Skivan heter Tales From a Future Past och är en mångfacetterad historia, där Anders och hans keytar bjuder på många olika sorters elektronisk musik.

    Den röda tråden är snygga syntljud, smarta melodier och en portion sympatisk humor. Låttitlar som ”It Came from Outer Space”, ”That 80s Feeling” och ”Electrofunkadelic” säger en del om vad det handlar om. "

    Steel City Collective: "Damokles is back with the retrosynthtastic 'Tales from a Future Past'; an epic journey of 80s electro funk, 90s Videogame Soundtracks, Europop, Eurodance & Italo Disco.

    The diversity of the album and the joy with which each track is delivered really is a triumph."

    The Synth Squad: "Un son du jour qui m'installe douillettement dans ma zone de confort musicale. Comme le décrit l'artiste : "Différentes saveurs du son des 80's"
    Un dessert musical pour gourmand nostalgique : Tales from Future Past par le grand Damokles"

For many years We all were wondering Are we alone in the universe? We started search for intelligence And hoped a sign would immerge The time went by with nothing happening Our question stood without reply But then one day with no warning signs they appeared in the sky Just like that we were degraded down to inferior beings Looking up to see the glowing master race. For so long we had been wondering if we were alone but Here's the answer and it came from outer space The vessels floating like a dream above Defying all we thought we knew. Will they prove to be friend or foe There's not much we can do. We're trying hard to communicate Because we have so much to gain Still they are silently hanging there So all our questions remain Just like that we were degraded down to inferior beings Looking up to see the glowing master race. For so long we had been wondering if we were alone but Here's the answer and it came from outer space Just like that we were degraded down to inferior beings Looking up to see the glowing master race. For so long we had been wondering if we were alone but Here's the answer and it came from outer space NEWS BROADCAST Since the visitors arrived in the sky people are panicking across the globe. We urge you to remain calm and stay indoors if at all possible. Athorities report massive riots in many major cities and martial law has been declared in many countries. The president of the United States has said that we are well prepared to counter any military action the visitors might take. The same has been said by the Russian president but representatives from other countries have been more moderate in their statements. People are turning up by the thousands at religious centers and the St. Peter's Square in the Vatican City is completely blocked as the crowd awaits a statement from the Pope. Stay tuned as we will keep on reporting all information regarding the visitors.

You cannot do this or do that because someone said so There are so many rules by which you must abide What if I told you something that I have realized Cause it will help you to put all of that aside. There is a world around you ready to open up once you see clearly what is standing in your way! There aren't any rules There's only consequence Don't listen to fools who tell you what to do in life Forget about rules Just way the consequence Now these are the tools to put you in control What ever you do there will be something that happens for it The trick is seeing all of it in advance And once you do you know if you can accept it You then become a master of circumstance There is a world around you ready to open up once you see clearly what is standing in your way! There aren't any rules There's only consequence Don't listen to fools who tell you what to do in life Forget about rules Just way the consequence Now these are the tools to put you in control master of circumstance master of circumstance You are the one who have been holding back your life by allowing control from someone else There aren't any rules There's only consequence Don't listen to fools who tell you what to do in life Forget about rules Just way the consequence Now these are the tools to put you in control

Signing up to serve was no choice It was mandatory But I never though I would leave you But the attacks have been severe And command have desided for us That we are to go to their home Leaving you this way is something I had hoped I'd never have to do But I cannot stay I have orders to go away Boarding on the ship was so sad there were thousands of us Most of us afraid for what was waiting up ahead Leaving you this way is something I had hoped I'd never have to do But I cannot stay I have orders to go away Leaving you this way is something I had hoped I'd never have to do The one thing I can say Is I hope that I will return some day The stars are indifferent to what will happen to us when we get there And somehow that is comforting as we go to sleep Leaving you this way is something I had hoped I'd never have to do But I cannot stay I have orders to go away Leaving you this way is something I had hoped I'd never have to do Hoping for a day when all the bipeds have gone away They came, in their ships And attacked our sacred hive Now we will bring them destruction when we arrive
