Warrior of the Wasteland The old vinyl of X stares at me as I listen to this new collection. Pulsing beats return with a few added singles, and a rollup of the older listing. Tracks from the apparently-defunct EMOTIONS EP also feature here, but without vocals--I miss Ruta's singing(can we get it back?). In any case, X's Definitive Collection is probably the most representative cross-cut of ALEX in the core days of New-Retrowave, well worth the price--unless ALEX was good enough to give it to you for free. Favorite track: EMOTIONS.

bricemspencer Alex returns in the key of 'X'. I cannot put this music aside. It stands up and makes you pay attention. Favorite track: TICK TOCK.

layonthehorn A bunch of odd ball tracks but all of them are memorable. Many of them have a nice creepy air to them that I really dig. Favorite track: NYCTOPHILE.

_LyRiCs_ Why you fucking lookin at me like that Playing with me like it's a mortal combat I would really think you're a thermostat It's hot or cold with you I don't fucking like that I am not trying to start a fight But I'll break your jaw By the end of the night. If you keep running me Like you're running your mouth I will pick out a bullet I will burn down your house Nobody will understand What we have, what we had But it's all going down, down, down, down, down. Take it to another level Scared of me cos im an upper level I'm a boss that you cannot battle Cos I will beat you until your bones rattle You are not safe in the base If you tell me a lie I will laugh in your face I invented the game you're trying to play Cheat codes, a cheater, whatever you say. Whatever you say... Whatever you say... Whatever you say, say, say, say, say. Breaking down (repeated). _eNd_

Bright lights might blind my eyes But the darkness is a harness Bright lights might blind my eyes But the darkness is a harness to the high rise Hey lets you and me live in sweet anonymity Hey lets you and me live in sweet anonymity Ghost walk the city, reflect what's inside me Do you still dream when you don't sleep? They tell me Broadway baby Don't let your demons follow you home But I make no attempt to redirect Because they're company when I feel alone I can't see now I can't sleep now I wanna heal now It's so surreal now (I can't see now) Hey lets you and me live in sweet anonymity (I can't sleep now) Hey lets you and me live in sweet anonymity (I wanna heal now) Ghost walk the city reflect what's inside me (I can't breathe now) Do you still dream when you don't sleep? Bright lights might blind my eyes But the darkness is a harness Bright lights might blind my eyes But the darkness is a harness to the high rise They tell me Broadway baby Don't let your demons follow you home But I make no attempt to redirect Because they're company when I feel alone I can't see now I can't sleep now I wanna heal now It's so surreal now (I can't see now) Hey lets you and me live in sweet anonymity (I can't sleep now) Hey lets you and me live in sweet anonymity (I wanna heal now) Ghost walk the city reflect what's inside me (It's so surreal now) Do you still dream when you don't sleep? They call me broadway baby Let me drive you crazy They call me broadway baby A melodrama caught in a panorama Bright lights might blind my eyes But the darkness is a harness Bright lights might blind my eyes But the darkness is a harness to the high rise
