Ganymede簡介
Ganymede is a noted American electropop band that has released four albums since May 2000: After the Fall," Euromantique," Space and Time,” and "Operation Ganymede," released in August 2008. The act's most-recognized songs, "Neon Rain" and "Hong Kong," earned club play in the electropop/goth/electroclash scene.
Band members Patrick Runkle and David Friede have also produced a series of covers for Cleopatra Records and others, appearing alongside such classic 80s bands as Dead or Alive and Sigue Sigue Sputnik.Ganymede was the first band to be released on the major independent electropop label Ninthwave Records, and now releases on Cohaagen Music. The band plays vintage analog keyboards and drum machines to create a "classic" electro sound.
After four years in the studio tweaking every blip and bleep, Ganymede returns with its first album of original electropop since 2003’s highly acclaimed "Space and Time." This time, Patrick Runkle and David Friede invite the listener to join them on "Operation Ganymede," a retro-electro voyage into deep space and back. The beats are solid, the basslines are subatomic, and the synth leads are sumptuous as the boys tell the story of a doomed U.S.-Soviet joint mission to Jupiter. Coming along for the ride is Bay Area disco legend Paul Parker, whose 1 Billboard dance smashes “Right on Target” and “One Look Was Enough” are as fresh today as ever. Paul contributes lead vocals to an instant Ganymede classic, the Italo disco-flavored “Perfect Target.” Other standout tracks on the album include the pulse-pounding “Deeds Not Words,” the epic closing track “The Final Mission” and the ballad “Love Is Not the End.” Don’t miss the fantastic journey, and be sure to pick up your copy today. The first edition of "Operation Ganymede" comes in a metallic-printed Digipak designed by noted L.A. artist Jesse Vital.
