  • In this video for our song "8 Bits" you can see Markus, who writes all the lyrics of mind.in.a.box, and Roman, our live bass player. Although they dressed up in special retro gear for this video, the two really are quite retro :) Markus collects lots of retro computer stuff, and Roman has been a true gamer since C64 times. It wouldn't be a suprise to meet him on a gaming server. The song itself is an homage to the game "The Great Giana Sisters".

      Every day I look the same
      And the sun is always shining
      I look out, and there is 3D
      I keep looking down and miss my shadow
      Every day my hair is fine
      But one dot keeps changing colors
      I know my heritage is noble
      But still I feel like I'm a clone
      8 bits are enough for me
      This is not where I should be
      My life is more than information
      I want a life beyond emulation
      I look out and everything's too fast for me
      And I feel there must be more
      Every day I dream of where I've come from
      Now I know I'm just an emulation
      The next time I see the serial cable
      I jump on the train and leave this world
      Now I'm an original, I'm like my ancestors
      And my hair is finally all yellow
      8 bits are enough for me
      This is not where I should be
      My life is more than information
      I want a life beyond emulation

    I grew up with C64's and their datasettes. It was a pain to load the slow games but so much fun!
    Nowadays video games are bloody, violent and mindless.
    This is a Brilliant track, from one of Austria's best electronic bands. I've been listening to them for 7 years now and the RETRO album is their best so far!
