The Long Walk EP

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Get it while it's still underground, they're about to get huge! RoMak and the Space Pirates plays dark and energetic synth music that incorporates big band and jazz elements like trombone and piano. The band is heavily focused on philosophical lyrical concepts and each release of their's is a volume detailing a certain philosophy or human feeling.

RoMak and his pirates are here with their revolutionary EP of eight songs that manage to strike a chord in our hearts while also striking a chord in our dance muscles.

Album Description
RoMak and the Space Pirates proves to the music world with this EP that electronic music doesn't have to be looped drums and synthesized vocals, but it can be a display of beautiful verse and engrossing soundscapes, wonderful prose and enveloping compositions. RoMak has something to offer every type of listener.

On the surface, this EP is full of catchy synth tracks that stay in your head for weeks, but as you begin to break it down, the songs make up a world in themselves, lyrics often reference each other to pull you more and more into the stories presented in the songs. One half Oingo Boingo, one half The Dresden Dolls, RoMak is a brilliant new force in music that will only continue to grow.

The Long Walk Is A Good One.......2006-02-16

I've just recently become a fan of this band, and hope they get signed to a major label or finally come out with a full length CD thats up to their standard.I gave this CD only 4 stars because of the sound mix. Some of the vocals tend to be buried in the mix and you don't really get the feel of David Tunnell's very powerful drumming. All that aside, the songs on the EP are really good. On the opening song "The Departure", where RoMak opens his door to the outside world and is greated by "the golden shimmering flakes of unavailability".What a great line.Then theres "The Long Walk", where it seems to go from a somewhat sunny sing along to very cloudy and somewhat dark. In that one, you get somewhat of a glimpse of keyboardist Die Bene Tleilaxu's spacey nature.The songs have pop overtones, but there is more going on here than your usual radio foder. Some of the electronic sounds spark of early 80's pop, but its still vibrant and fresh sounding.My favorite track on here are "No,Not Ever","The Day That Wasn't There" and "The Long Walk". There are six songs total.I've seen these guys live twice, and they are a very visual type of band. RoMak has great stage presents and can really work a room. You don't really get that from this EP, but hopefully it might get you to go out and actually see this wonderful group. They have just released another demo CD called "The Universe Is Too Small", that has some very good songs on it.

Mash Devo, The Cure, and Marilyn Manson in a blender and you get this album. Sad, agressive, and full of catchy electronics, this is probably one of my favorite albums of all time. Take The Cure's "Head on the Door" and throw in some metal-style riffs and you'll get this album. Pick this up now!
