In 2019, Dark-o-Matic released their debut album ‘New Hope’. This ‘A cage with the wide door open’ is the first single from that album.

‘A cage with the door wide open’ is a typical synthpop-track with a huge 80’s sound. It’s poppy, it’s catchy and sticks to your skin.

On this EP no other tracks, just 5 versions of the title-track: the normal version, 3 remixes (of which the ‘Mr. L3thΔL Remix’ is for me by far the best). The EP ends with a wonderful live piano-version of the track, which gives it a very fragile touch.

Great first single!

In 2019 kwam het debuutalbum 'New Hope' van Dark-o-Matic uit. Deze 'A cage with the door wide open' is de eerste single uit dat album.

'A cage with the door wide open' is een typische synthpop-track met een duidelijke 80's-inslag. Het is poppy, catchy en blijft ook wel even hangen.

Op de EP geen andere nummers, wel 5 keer hetzelfde in een ander jasje: de normale versie, 3 remixen (waarvan de ‘Mr. L3thΔL Remix’ voor mij persoonlijk erbovenuit steekt). De EP eindigt met een zeer mooie live pianoversie die het nummer iets breekbaars geeft.

Een mooie binnenkomer!

This album isn’t about bashing religion and faith. That would be a pretty cheap trick.

We were able to secure the support slot for Front 242. Everything was looking positive until Bas’s cancer reemerged and there were complications.
