Liam Hagan Takes me back to the time when home computers and the internet were so new and unexplored. The whole thing reminds me of an 80s film score. The opening track sets the tone beautifully. Great, great album :) Favorite track: CPU.

    RetroSynth Records is proud to bring you Zalza on Vinyl for the first time!

    Yes! After hard work and many sleepless nights, I’m stoked to announce that 'Out of Memory’ 2LP vinyl release is here!

    It includes a total of 14 tracks (Same as for the digital release) which are especially mastered for vinyl, which means it features over an hour of music.

    With this album I wanted to express the excitement surrounding the computer evolution, in the 70’s until the early 90’s - From the kids amazement by Atari game consoles, Commodore 64 to IBM engineers proudly talking about computer programming. Also to express how much the computer has enriched my life.

    The making of this album was a heck of an enjoyable ride. But it wouldn't be possible without all who supported this project, came with ideas, input and brought inspiration.

    Releasing the album on vinyl was an early a vision of mine while composing the tracks, and I’m so happy that it has now become a reality - I hope you enjoy this album!

    Proudly released through RetroSynth Records.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Out Of Memory via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

The album 'Out of Memory' by Zalza depicts an exciting time between the late 70's until the early 90's when the personal computer rapidly turned into a multi-billion dollar industry.

Youngsters assembled computers from parts in their garage and met at computer clubs showing off what cool things they could do with software and hardware. It was a time when anything seemed possible.

Today the personal computer is an essential part of our everyday lives.

Each track on the full-length 14 track album is composed to bring out the sound of computers - The chipset, terminals, modem dial-ups, disk drives and sounds from gaming consoles is intent on bringing you there.

Here Zalza brings out his true feelings in subtle and soaring melodies, heavy beats and ingredients of computer noise.

Inspiration comes from vintage computer documentaries, 80's synthesizer and TV themes, 80's sci-fi blockbusters and current TV-series like Halt And Catch Fire, Mr. Robot and Stranger Things.

"I wanted to make an album with a sound inspired by computers and to capture the feeling of excitement in my childhood when I first got into computers. Genre-wise for this album I've taken a step from pure 'chiptune' to a SynthWave style enabling a broader sound image - But I've maintained the core I've had in my previous chiptune albums. The whole project has been a blast." - Zalza

In a sense Out of Memory is a lot like an old disk drive, filled with memories from Zalza's childhood that almost had been forgotten. Now he is ready to bring those nostalgic memories back to life, so buckle up and enjoy the journey!
