Mission Dark by Niko

"

"Mission Dark" the song: David Bowie type style, reflects the search for our origin and destiny, a uncertain-dark mission indeed: "my math have failed me, I am out of control, please don't disturb me, 'cause I am in a Mission, Mission Dark..."

"The Wish": "...mad from desire to bring you higher, roaming the city of gliter and power...". Like space, the big city is a dangerous web; this song is reminiscent of the Led Zeppelin (Kasba) mystique ...

"Matrix Man" the song: the complexities of modern society can produce either a progressive man or one who can not adapt. Those who can adapt can become a multi-national, multi-lingual, multi-dangerous, multidimentional, multi-this or multi-that type of man; the "Matrix Man" is really a simple man caught in a complex world: "living my life and yours, come into my matrix."

"My matrix" is a state of mind, the most well protected, most difficult to reach part of ourselves. In Niko's mind, only a few are allowed to enter the matrix; they are the lucky ones, those who have the most sincere and eager to learn intentions. Hence they are welcomed!

"Destination": Very U-2 like, most people's favorite song...

"Log on with my password": reflects today's reality or internet dating. Great beat, jazzy style, original-imaginative lyrics...
