1.
Living in deception in this Every day fear Nightmares follow me,they are so near! It's hard to imagine that something will change, no hope for the desparate THE END IS NEAR Nightmares follow me all over my dreams The days become heavier, the nights never end Lies become reality (You can't tell what's real!) It's better to give up,than to resist.

3.
Over the mountains and over the seas Remembering a past life,do you know what this means? You must be someone important to me But you're getting nowhere and you know how it seems? Into an abyss and it's like a dream, The torture starts before you get in Your mind is lost Your body shakes You can't wake up And now you know what this means.
4.
Someone told you that you're gonna be a big star A contract signed in blood and hope Posing for magazines Your face is all over Vanity consumes you You want to make it through. You have a preety face and a nice body You wear the right clothes and have the "proper"attitude Socializing is a thing for you Talent doesn't matter as long you have the money to promote yourself.
5.
Days and night,feeling blue All the marks point at you Seing back the chance you had Missed it again for all you've got. Attention/Agression/Misfortune/Can't function/No Expression/Submission Life In Reverse.
6.
A dream Of quiet men, with nothing to explain and nothing to defend. I can see land. A poets' Land.

about

Doric is the moniker of the purist, Stathis Leontiadis (Human Puppets, Exetix, Plexiglas). Being involved in various avant garde/new wave music projects since 1996, intrigued by the 'all' analogue mentality of the late '70s - early '80s music field, he is passionatelly commited to vintage synths and machines, creating a very distinctive and specific style and considered by many as a “specialist”.
On this release,the main subject of the record is creative interplay. The first side (the “Asleep”side), includes songs, written by the artist alone, using sleep as a metaphor of loneliness and seclusion from the oppressive, everyday society that smothers anything unique under the struggle of daily routine. However, on the second side, Doric mutes his skeptic, internal monologue for a bit and collaborates with two very talented and like-minded artists, Pascal and Valisia Odell. Pascal (Foucault, Noisetoy, Ludmilla) is an ingenius multi-instrumentalist and an old friend of Doric and Valisia Odell (Phoenix Catscratch, Strawberry Pills, Father Breath) is one of the most charismatic voices in Greece, with a very distinctive and enchanting vocal hue.This friendship results to the second side (the “Awaken” side), a critical view of what our society translates into artistic and life success in general. A simplified formula that often leads to bury our most creditable truths, in order to become a pattern, easily readable and understandable by the masses.The overall essence of this record however concludes to a rather optimistic dream of a utopian reality,where everyone can create unobscured. The value of each effort can only be appreciated through time.
Limited to 300, black copies with the distinctive “Doric” handmade artwork,a homage to the D.I.Y. Ethos, an infusion from the past but a promise of a future.
