What is this wizardry? How are you able to evoke so much emotion with your music? Emotions that i literally have no name for, and extremely rarely feel outside of your music? Is this a deliberate neurological trick? Some subliminal fuckery? Whatever it is, i am in a delighted awe.

yo, this was me the first time I heard Godwave Rises.. I stumbled across VolkorX by accident and haven't regretted it once. Have you heard their version of Aquatic Ambience? Actually, just all of their songs are amazing. I haven't heard one I didn't instantly love.

Wow this was very well done. The voice skits between songs really helps establish the mood for the music, and vise versa. our team of voice actors would actually love to work with you possibly on more projects like this. we have a big team, eager to work, and mostly probono as we just want our names out there.

I´m not gonna lie, this album made me cry and gave me goosebumps. It´s been a while since i felt such a journey like this. Expanse made me tear up. The middle part of Adrift where Syd speaks as well. Your music is beyond comprehention, it totally blasted through all of my emotions with this album. I thought I was feeling Syd´s feelings along with her. Even Transmission gave me anxiety man, how the hell did you do that with just some voice acting??? And I could go on and on, but I think you got the idea. I can just say THANK YOU! (also You inspired me to start composing some synth music).

I was finally able to sit down and actually listen to the whole album, And I have to say this is one of the best experiences I've ever had listening to music! I LOVE! music but because I've listened to an infinite amount of almost every genre out there from surface level pop to hip hop to the deepest levels of metal with endless projects, I've became hard to please! It's been years since I've had an out of body experience listening to anything! (Last time was probably with a Dark Tranquility or a james blake project) But THIS!! this right here is... Words can't explain!! I've actually teared up multiple times during this experience and I can see this being my favourite album EVER!! Thank you Mr x

Discovered Synthwave/Retrowave in 2015, with Kung Fury. Heard Pylot, Paradelous and Dance with the Dead and thought they were the holy trinity. And then came you... There is a depth and echo in your music that just gives my very existence chills. I long for the Universe, I can't bare being bound to this planet whenever I hear your music. If I ever reach the possibilty, I will take Metal and Synthwave music with me and board a rocket to the centre of the Galaxy... And if you ever need a dark stern voice for any voice acting, PN me, I'll do it for free, no matter how much.

Alright, thanks@@VolkorX ! In Extravehicular Activities, J.O.S.S. mentions not wanting to lose "this blink of an existence" and being "exactly who he wants to be". Do I understand that at that point, he retracts his fibers so that Syd doesn't change him more, making him not be the same consciousness?

I cannot thank you enough for what you've given to us as listeners, and I want you to know that I appreciate your creation immensely and love every emotion it gave me. Ignition combined with Ascendance was enough to quite literally send me to the moon. Every powerful lead, the vocal work, the slam of the drums. ALL OF IT! It's on repeat and I am definitely purchasing merch. Much love from a girl who loves space!!! :) Glad to have found you. Please do not ever stop creating. You have a gift.
