Manfred Thomaser is providing insights into areas of the Arsine Tibé universe that have not been heard before for a few months now, with the publication series "(previously unreleased) Archive Songs". Due to the mostly instrumental character of the Lounge Noire compositions, the songs with vocal parts stand out particularly. Taken from „(previously unreleased) Archive Songs III“ "Voyage Now" is one of these tracks and was created in collaboration with Aidan Casserly (Empire State Human), who appears here under the name Sebastian and the dream.
The velvety groove of the radio edit inevitably invites you to rock along. And the characteristic, partly multi-layered vocals take the listener on a (dream) journey. The boundaries to reality become blurred and a trance state inevitably arises.
The version by People Theatre is even more full-bodied, emphasising the rhythm and embedding the voice nicely. The production by the up-and-coming project Elektrostaub even goes one step further and finally catapults "Voyage Now" onto the dance floor with a huge Future Pop injection. By now you can't get this catchy tune out of your head.
Projekt Ich takes it to an edgier level, in whose variation the song is reduced to its essentials. The Israeli DJ and radio presenter Oren Amram then again emphasizes the anthemic, but also delicate elements of the composition before this absolutely coherent small format is completed with the instrumental version of the radio edit.
