Synth Single Review: “Sunset Roller Coaster” by GammaFlow, Sleepless-Nights & Lisa Marie Perkins

by Karl Magi

GammaFlow, Sleepless-Nights & Lisa Marie Perkins' “Sunset Roller Coaster” jumps with playful ‘80s percussion while mellow resonance moves from the panpipes while Lisa Marie Perkins' eager voice captures joy and anticipation. Boardwalk fun and neon glow leap from notes that flash with pink happiness while the classic percussion intertwines with prismatic chimes. 

Sleepless-Nights plays a mellow solo, awash in golden-orange tones, floating with easy going grace. The vocals burst out with exuberant enjoyment and a sax cries with intense passion before crystalline light flows. GammaFlow’s production adds a polished sheen to the track as it evolves.

A xylophone resonates with deeply organic sensations and Lisa Marie Perkins pulls me into her emotions with vibrant dynamism. Gliding notes capture the warmth of a midsummer night and Sleepless-Nights guitar levitates with chilled out, yet heartfelt emotion before sunset crimson glistens from the sax and the song closes. 

"City lights glow in slow motion, summer air loves our devotion" and there are scenes of happiness in the starlight as the storyteller says, "don't know where we'll go but we wanna go!" As they move through the night, they raise their hands and forget the ground while they’re "lost in the rush of spinning around. "

 "Gravity pulls but we don't fall down" and as time fades away, the narrator hears the other person calling and "all through the stars it's getting closer." Despite the highs and lows, she feels alright as she’s " flowing with you in this electric night, ‘round and ‘round till the morning comes, dreams unsung."
