XP8 is Marco Visconti and Marko Resurreccion.
The band, started in 2001 as a trio including previous singer Paul Toohill and based in Rome, Italy , composes an airy blend of EBM, electronica, techno and trance, bringing their various visions and talents to life with synthetic vibrancy and danceable beats, crossing electronic genres with relative ease.
Aimed at the heart of the dancefloor, the music keeps listeners moving through the night in timeless waves, emitting subtle hints of the 1980s while slipping easily into sounds of the new millennium: glitchy patterns, sharp simulated strings, and clear vocals travel through bright sequences and brooding atmospheres.
After having released their first demo, Forgive, on the now defunct mp3.com website, and receiving good feedbacks, they signed a deal with the Polish label Black Flames Records, who would reissue the demo on May 2004 as Forgive, quickly followed by the RE_Productions EP in October 2004.
In several interviews though, the band seemed to consider their real debut the 2005 album Hrs:Min:Sec, released on the acclaimed German label Infacted Recordings.
Over the years, XP8 made a name for themselves due to their energetic live performances: the band played all over Europe, from their native Italy to Russia, and attended prestigious festivals like the Wave Gotik Treffen in Germany.

I find it funny that no one commented on the SECOND part of the song's lyrics... if you call that cheesy, then every love song is cheesy. THAT SAID, not only Reini is very right, but judging to your charts dear stoehrfrequenz what can be said about the lyrical content of 99% of your bands? :)

:D This is partymusic for fun dear Stoehrfrequenz, and not anlytical philosophy. For that very good.

Yes the WantIt song. Sorry but those lyrics are so cheesy and lame. Almost sounds like Right Said Fred, I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt.

If you look for the old, 2004-sounding futurepop songs, I am not sure you are going to find much... we evolved. And we prefer much more what we're doing today than just re-hashing old musical clichès done to death already. What's sure tho, is that while "The Art Of Revenge" was a turn towards a more hard hitting sound, "Drop The Mask" will be more diversified.

I'm a bit disappointed with your new songs. I'm still going to give a chance to your new album when it comes available. But I'm starting to miss the old XP8, even The Art of Revenge was quite okay.

Yeah, this mix is really good, but the fact sounds kinda unexpected, you know. =)

@Rackshassa: you realise this is a DIGITAL ONLY single? Gravitator will release the album in due time, but this single is only digital... so instead of just downloading it, it could have been nicer to click on the MANY "buy it" links and get it off iTunes or similar sites. @Los_T: that remix is from years ago... at least 4... but still kicking, so we finally found a way to release it.

i think the original "Lies" still beats the Dope Stars Inc. Remix :)

Yep, Russians are huuuge pirats. =) New single sounds pretty nice but I was a little bit shocked to find a DSI remix there, heh.

"lies" is the best XP8 Track in my opinion, i don't know why, its just how the song is made and its very catchy and fast and seems to be a favourite.
