Synth Single Review: “Starman” by Droid Bishop

by Karl Magi

Droid Bishop’s “Starman” charts a voyage across glimmering spacescapes as it opens with creaking tones mingling aspiration and desolation. An echoing voice calls out as the undulating, sharp-edged notes move, while cosmic sensations burst from the lead synth. Heart-aching emotion fills the distance with vast sound, the synth calling out with softness to enfold my mind.

Serenity from a gliding melodic line moves on a worshipful synth, starlight flashing from prismatic notes. Galaxies whirl in velvet darkness, the starman watching them pass him by. Distant and meditative, high notes radiate planetary luminosity. 

Across the open and lonely spaces, our starman floats with anti-gravity elegance, the guitar lushly and gruffly adding shape. Through the rising melody, the listener travels through colossal vistas, opening to create awe. As the lead synth sings, astral shine bursts free and carries out before silence falls.
