? Everything / Brainwashed Lifers by REMARK - Limited Edition Single - Review


? Everything/Brainwashed Lifers
By REMARK
Limited Edition Single – Review



Initially I thought I had already reviewed one of these singles in the past when they were released digitally but, that appears not to have been the case. So, it is nice to finally get to properly review these two tracks by my good friend, Multi talented Independent recording artist and videographer, Remark.



Remark’s recent releases all have a deep conscious understanding of life and a desire to give a message to the listeners that will hit them on a level not normally delivered by many artists these days. However, it is the underground independent artists, like Remark, who can drop a level of knowledge, understanding and consciousness in their music which the listener needs to have.
These two tracks are the perfect example of what it is like observing life through a deeper conscious viewpoint. So, let’s get into this: 



First up is,? Everything, which is a heavy banger of a track produced by Hamburg’s own Merlin and with Remark providing the cuts as well as the vocals. Heavy production for a heavy message and ? Everything really is all about the title. We live in an age where nothing is what it seems. You cannot trust the media, the internet, the government and, in many cases, even your employer. The information we are bombarded with is often corrupt and flawed with disinformation and lies. Whatever the source of the information you seek, be aware that much of what you may read on issues that directly affect the powers that be, is the kind of information that you will need to question. The other, equally important, message in the track is that you must always speak your truth.



The flip side is Brainwashed Lifers. This track again features Merlin on production and is a banging track with deep dark message. For a great many people the main source of their information intake is the television. Your senses are assaulted by visual and audible frequencies which can be used for entertainment and/or brainwashing. This might seem like a farfetched concept but, when the news on TV constantly bombards you with negative stories or war, murder, financial woes and political unrest, is it any wonder why very few of us question anything? Not just that but, audible frequencies and visuals can be manipulated to cause any number of negative effects or display subliminal messaging.

The ultimate message these two tracks put across is simple. ? Everything or become a Brainwashed Lifer. 

These tracks were originally released by Remark in 2017 and the content is as relevant now as it was then. They work perfectly together as a package and it is great to see them finally get a vinyl release in this limited edition run.

Both tracks are proper hardcore but, on the conscious tip. Merlin’s production is quality and the tone of each track works perfectly to reflect the mood of Remarks lyrical content. What really adds weight to each of these tracks is the visual aspect provided by the videos, which provide the total package for these two solid wake up calls. I say wake up calls because if you fully appreciate what Remark is saying here you will receive a wakeup call to what is really going on around you and how the real world and your own personal evolution is being held back by a society that seeks only to control.

Credit needs to go out to Remark’s wife Charlie for her excellent job in the filming for both the videos for these tracks. There is also credit due to Paul Lindsell for his work on filming for Brainwashed Lifers.

Credit has to go to Remark for putting together two superb tracks which can elicit such strong feelings. The sort of feelings we all need to sit-up and take notice of what is going on in the world around us.

So, grab yourself a copy (directly from Remark) of this limited vinyl run of these two stunning tracks, if you miss the physical copies then grab the digital downloads and see where the emotion packed experience takes you.

And on that note, I’m Out...
