Bio:
Super melodic AOR project of Jon Siejka, who resides in New York City.Magic Dance is the name of his project that he uses to supply all us 80's synthpop nuts with his blissfull synthpop music. BUT he has now decided to step into the AOR world and has given us this new EP and I LOVE IT!!!An albums worth of this would suit me fine.
Album:
MAGIC DANCE from New York are the absolute kings of AOR / synthwave ’80s retro sounds. Their album “Vanishing” (2016) is currently being re-issued on CD with lots of bonus material. There are eight bonus tracks included.This is just an amazing record where mastermind Jon Siejka digs out these melodies and magical sounds from his Eighties jukebox. Almost impossible to name tracks to specifically check out – all are good – but you easily get goosebumps from songs like “Another Lost Boy”, “Another Life, Another Time”, “Still Haunting Me”, etc.On ”Vanishings [Special Deluxe Edition +8]” Siejka not only has perfected the songwriting, but injected a definitive AOR sound to the proceedings, with melodic guitar solos, real bass guitar and drums. There is a staggering mastery of classic ’80s songcraft on display here, plus Siejka has incredibly grown as vocalist.”Vanishings [Special Deluxe Edition +8]” delivers a gem after gem, and musically there’s not only synths galore like before: all tracks feature great instrumentation and arrangements. Jon Siejka / Magic Dance definitely found his niche with this new sound direction / song-format; the retro synthwave of his origins but now mixed with ’80s radio-friendly AOR.Big, clear vocals, catchy melodies and tons of hooks plus pumping bass lines and some killer guitar work. We love this. You’ll love this.I see (or better, hear) “Vanishings” like a mix of everything you ever loved about Richard Marx or Bryan Adams and that classic epic ’80s movie soundtracks, every time your heart ever felt heroic or in love is what Magic Dance is all about.“Vanishings” is all pure and true to the era and absolutely ‘magical’.
